British Library Scraps Fee Plan Norman Horrocks asked that the following message concerning the British Library be posted on the Council and Member-Forum lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Today's Times (London) has story "British Library Scraps Fee Plan", September 22, 1998, p. 6. The Library was "responding to an exercise that had called for readers' views on issues as contentious as charging, cutting back on services or reducing its collecting activities." Of the more than 1,500 responses received after 5,000 of the library's 60,000 readers had been approached, Brian Lang, chief executive of the library, said that "very few" had supported the idea of charging. "Dr. Lang said they must now look at other options, including reducing the number of opening hours, which was the least-criticised option." _______________________________________________________________________________ 2. E-Journal Bibliography http://library.usask.ca/dbs/ej.html E-Journal Bibliography This is a comprehensive bibliography on the topic of e-journals which are also known as electronic journals or electronic serials. An e-journal is defined as a journal whose creation and distribution in the first instance is entirely in electronic format. The bibliography contains references to books, reports, articlesand electronic documents. Though only partly annotated all items have been examined by the authors. Abstracts from external sources are included in quotation marks. The source abbreviations are listed on the next screen. ------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from NetInLib-Announce, see http://www.targetinform.com/netinlib/ ------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Profiles in Science [RealPlayer, Quicktime] http://www.profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ This new site from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) will focus on the major scientific achievements of this century and the people behind them by making archival collections of prominent biomedical scientists publicly available. The site will feature collections donated to the NLM which contain published and unpublished materials, including books, journal volumes, pamphlets, diaries, letters, manuscripts, photographs, audio tapes, and other audiovisual materials. The first scientist profiled is Oswald Avery, a pioneer in DNA research. Nobel Laureate Dr. Joshua Lederberg has selected the materials in Dr. Avery's collection, which are supplemented by an assortment of 74 resources that offer Alternate Views on Avery's research. Visitors can search for particular documents with the site's internal search engine.

UNESCO Electronic Document Management System [.pdf] http://unesdoc.unesco.org/ulis/ UNESDOC http://unesdoc.unesco.org/ulis/ged.html UNESBIB http://unesdoc.unesco.org/ulis/unesbib.html The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Electronic Document Management System offers researchers these two databases. The first, the UNESDOC database, provides multilingual, full-text access to documents of major governing bodies, field mission reports, speeches of the Director-General, and the UNESCO Sources Bulletin. UNESDOC documents are presented as text or .pdf files, and are searchable by citation; however, only the text files are available for full-text string searching. The second database, UNESBIB, allows users to search an extensive bibliography of UNESCO documents and publications, as well as the UNESCO library catalog.

Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) Photograph Collection Database http://www.mnhs.org/collections/photo/bsearch.html The Minnesota Historical Society's new Photograph Collection Database provides information that previously could only be obtained by travelling to MHS and consulting a card file. Yet the site simultaneously illustrates that although the number of historical images on the Web is growing steadily, these images are certainly not all online. The Photograph Collection database contains records for 44,000 individual photographs, approximately ten percent accompanied by digital images. This is less than one-fifth of the quarter of a million photographs owned by MHS. The strength of the database is its coverage of Minnesotans' lives, landscapes, leisure activities, and occupations from 1850 to the present. Try searching for "frontier and pioneer life" or "farming" to see some greatest hits from the MHS photograph collection.

I had a vague idea that it had to do with anarchism, so I posted a query to the list librarians[at]tao.ca, and they answered my query, starting an interesting thread. But what if I hadn't known where to start? How can I look up a visual, graphical symbol? I just found one answer on the web. It's a website (and a CD Rom for sale) for exactly that purpose. It's at http://www.symbols.com You can look up a symbol by using the words for what the symbol stands for (although the database doesn't have any flexibility for this application), or you can look it up by its graphical characteristics, by answering a series of questions such as, "Do the lines cross or not?" Eventually you are led to a group of symbols small enough that you can pick out the one you are looking for. Here's the blurb from the front page of their site: "Welcome to SYMBOLS.com -- the world's largest online encyclopedia of graphic symbols! SYMBOLS.com contains more than 2,500 Western signs, arranged into 54 groups according to their graphic characteristics. In 1,600 articles their histories, uses, and meanings are thoroughly discussed. The signs range from ideograms carved in mammoth teeth by Cro-Magnon men, to hobo signs and subway graffiti. Use the Graphic Index to search for the meaning or history of a sign. If you want to see an ideogram with a certain meaning, use the Word Index." I think the articles are surprisingly interesting - some of them seem like they were written by a poetic-minded semiotician. There are surprises hiding in the recesses of that site. The major drawback is a common one - lots of ads. But I recommend it as a reference tool anyway. Here's my original query - the symbol is for squatting and squatters rights. > Hi. > > I have a reference question for somebody w/ a lot more anarcho-cred than > me. > > What's the circle with the thunderbolt arrow going up through it mean? > > Looks vaguely like this: > ______ > /| > // | > ------------ / | > //-- ---\ // > // \\// > // /\\ > / || // \ > / /|| // \ > | // || // | > | / || / | > | // || // | > | / || // | > | // || / | > | / ||// | > |// // | > /| | > // \ / > / \\ // > // \\ // > / \\\- --// > // ------------ > > -Editor _______________________________________________________________________________ 8. Anarchist Bookfair Could you give the Anarchist Bookfair website a mention on your site? This year is our seventeenth annual fair and some years it is the largest specifically anarchist event in the world with over three thousand anarchists turning up. The website will be a permanent installation advertising future bookfairs and reporting on the last one. We also want it to be a good link with Anarchist publishers and their works. Our address is http://freespace.virgin.net/anarchist.bookfair Yours Martin (for the Anarchist Bookfair) (message to Chuck0, forwarded to Librarians[at]tao.ca) _______________________________________________________________________________ 9.

The Project on Media Ownership (PROMO) The Project on Media Ownership (PROMO), a non-profit research group affiliated with New York University, is looking for experienced researchers around the world, to help us build up and maintain a comprehensive database concerning media ownership worldwide. Our aim is to be able to provide detailed and accurate information as to the ever-shifting ownership of _all_ the major media--TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, book publishing, movies, music, on-line services--on all seven continents. PROMO is looking to provide all information that may be of use to anyone concerned with or involved in the main media industries worldwide. We are therefore looking for researchers capable of tracking who owns what, the pertinent numbers, the names of the directors, managers and major shareholders, and so on. Such expert and demanding labor would, of course, be paid. Anyone interested in taking part should contact Janine Jaquet, PROMO's Research Director, at 212-678-4534, or at janine.jaquet[at]nyu.edu. We want also to disseminate, throughout libraries and schools, simpler materials illustrative of who owns what throughout the major media: brochures, booklets, fold-outs, etc. Anyone interested in this educational campaign should also contact Ms. Jaquet. (Message from Mark Crispin Miller forwarded by Elaine Harger) _______________________________________________________________________________ 11. West Coast Alternative Media Conference (Vancouver, BC) To: sethk[at]popserver.sfu.ca From: edoherty[at]portal.ca (Eric Doherty) Subject: West Coast Alternative Media Conference The West Coast ALternative Media Conference is an opportunity for people working with, or interested in, progressive communications.

The Learning On Line University (LOLU) - Project in on-line activism Dear Friends: As it has in recent years, Z Magazine is undertaking an interesting experiment in on-line activism through a project is calls The Learning On Line University (LOLU). I'm sending this note out to let you know about the project and my participation in it. LOLU presents a range of progressive "courses" taught by activists and academics on a variety of topics. People can sign up for the courses -- which typically consist of 10 weekly lectures plus lots of follow-up discussion -- for $50 or $30 low income. Beginning October 15, I will be presenting a course, "Corporate Power and Strategies to Develop Countervailing Power," which may be of interest to some Focus on the Corporation readers. Below follows a note from LOLU founder Michael Albert, which provides a bit more information on the project and explains how to learn more and participate. Sorry for this commercial interruption. We try to limit traffic on this list to our once-a-week column postings, but we want to use the forum on rare occasions to convey information related to the column that we think of general interest. Robert Weissman rob[at]essential.org >From Michael Albert: You can learn about LOLU's courses, faculty, policies, etc. at http://www.lolu.org -- or via ZNet's Ideas Section via http://www.zmag.org. At the LOLU site you can take a course for about a twentieth of what it would cost at, say, NYU's online school -- we charge $50 a course, or $30 low income -- with much better faculty and, of course, far more honest, encompassing, and socially enlightened content. You can register online, as well. Courses are ten lectures, one per week, with a week or two extra for catch-up at the faculty and student's discretion. You read lectures and participate in course assignments and discussions as you choose. The school's web venue is congenial, efficient, and powerful, and you do all the course work from your computer, as you decide, at your discretion and timing. LOLU is a very important piece of an emerging strategy by which progressives can utilize and benefit from internet conectivity. It is hosted by ZNet and People-Link, yes, but it is designed to materially and politically help a wide cross section of the progressive community. Already those who share LOLU's revenue include not only the faculty, but a number of organizations co-sponsoring courses such as Project South, SHARE, Committees of Correspondence, URPE, Multinational Monitor, Z, and People-Link. You can learn more about LOLU's structure, future plans, and specific offerings by browsing the LOLU site at http://www.lolu.org. There also, you can register, and to provide a little incentive to do thatand thereby help us to build this very important new institution, here is a list of the courses available this Fall: MOVEMENT HISTORY, MOVEMENT BUILDING, AND THE ROLE OF POPULAR EDUCATION -- Faculty: Jerome Scott & Walda Katz Fishman Sponsor: Project South ORGANIZING: THE LOST ART -- Faculty: Leslie Cagan Sponsor: Committees of Correspondence SPOOKING THE PUBLIC: RACIAL PROFILING AND THE POLITICS OF MEDIA BLACKFACE --Faculty: Mikal Muharrar Sponsor: FAIR MEDIA ANALYSIS: CHALLENGING ROUTINE PROPAGANDA -- Faculty: Norman Solomon Sponsor: FAIR CONCEPTUALIZING A BETTER ECONOMY -- Faculty: Michael Albert Sponsor: Z Magazine RADICAL THEORY, VISION, AND STRATEGY -- Faculty: Michael Albert Sponsor: Z Magazine CORPORATE POWER AND STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP COUNTERVAILING POWER --Faculty: Robert Weissman Sponsor: Multinational Monitor U.S. CAPITALISM IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY -- Faculty: Peter Bohmer Sponsor: Olympia Political-Cultural Center INTRODUCTION TO POLITICAL ECONOMY -- Faculty: Robin Hahnel Sponsor: URPE LINE.

There you will find course desciptions, brief bios of faculty, information about lolu itself, and a regisration form that you can use to easily and efficiently sign up. _______________________________________________________________________________ 13. Buffalo library school to merge with communications department Forwarded from the SILS-L list ... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 13:13:05 -0400 From: SILS <sils[at]ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU> Reply-To: UB School of Information & Library Studies List <SILS-L[at]LISTSERV.ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU> TO: SILS Students, Alumni and Friends FROM: George S. Bobinski, Dean DATE: September 16, 1998 To continue to keep you informed about our merger, I am providing the following basic facts in question and answer form. WHO IS MERGING? The Department of Communication is merging with the School of Information and Library Studies. The School of Information and Library Studies will change its name to the School of Information Studies. This School will be composed of a Department of Communication and a Department of Library and Information Studies. The target date for the merger is July 1, 1999. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE MASTER OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE PROGRAM? It will continue as a major degree program and will be strengthened with additional resources because of the merger. ALA accredits the degree and not the school or department in which the MLS is located. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SILS PROGRAMS? The Post-Masters Certificate and Cooperative Doctoral Program in Higher Education/Academic Librarianship (with GSE) will continue. The Ph.D. in LIS will finally be offered (with a cognate in Communication) after years of delay pending the merger. WHAT PROGRAMS DOES COMMUNICATION OFFER? They will continue to offer a BA in Communication (a very popular undergraduate major), and a MA and Ph.D. in Communication. ANY NEW JOINT DEGREES PLANNED? Yes -- an interdisciplinary Master's in Information and Communication will be launched. Its focus will be on the use of computer and network applications as they are being employed in a wide range of organizations and the jobs performed in them. HOW DID THE MERGER COME ABOUT? In the 1997 spring semester the Provost issued "Planning UB's Academic Future II & III." In these documents SILS was recognized for its low cost and efficiency and as a "successful graduate professional program" that has "a respectable reputation." The future proposed for SILS in the report saw very much what we had proposed through our own Task Force planning -- that we make connections with cognate disciplines in information science and technology and broaden our program. We were also listed as major partners in a very important proposed initiative in information and communication technology. During 1995-96 and 1996-97 a SILS Task Force on Program Expansion carried on extensive contacts with faculty from related disciplines -- Media Study, Management Information Systems, Cognitive Science, and especially with Computer Science and Communication. Out of individual and group meetings and lunches with Computer Science and Communication, came an increasingly closer relationship with the Department of Communication. On April 10, 1997 the SILS faculty voted unanimously for the appointment of a Committee to meet with representatives of the Communication Department to develop a formal proposal for the merger of the two units. Early in the fall of 1997 a joint committee was appointed by the SILS Dean and the Chair of the Communication Department. The committee deliberated until spring of 1998 when it issued a report recommending a merger. This was approved by both faculties (unanimously at SILS and with one abstention at Communication). This Report was then submitted by the SILS Dean to the Provost on April 24, 1998. In a memo dated May 18, 1998 he indicated his support of the merger with a target date of July 1, 1999 -- giving us a year to work out the details for the merger. WHY SHOULD COMMUNICATION AND SILS MERGE? The concerns of Library and Information Studies and Communication overlap considerably. Both are essentially interested in human activities. They both focus on the users of information and on the human aspects of the impacts of information technology., They share common values, domains of interest, and research methodologies that provide the opportunities for productive collaboration. Note the following from the respective mission statements: Communication: "to provide the student with a comprehensive knowledge of the nature of human communication, the symbol system by which it occurs, its media, and its effects." SILS: "to prepare graduates with the knowledge, skills, and values required to develop, organize, store, retrieve, administer, and facilitate the use of recordable information and knowledge." The human concerns reflected in both fields converge as well with regard to a number of specific information and communication processes. Both are concerned with the workings of two systems: the information system and the delivery system. Both are concerned with interpersonal networks, social networks, and mass networks. Both are concerned with the effects on one hand of faithful, correct information circulation, and on the other of incomplete, incorrect, and misleading information. Communication and library and information studies (LIS) are becoming increasingly intertwined in an increasingly networked society, with concerns that are in some cases parallel and in others complementary. WHAT WILL BE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MERGER? The new School of Information Studies, drawing on the unique strengths of the collaboration between the two units, will enable the combined faculties to: --- Leverage their presently limited resources so as to strengthen existing programs like the MLS. Ten faculty at SILS and nine faculty in Communication plus a Dean will make a good sized school. --- Develop, with an initial investment from the University of additional faculty positions, a new interdisciplinary 5th year professional master's program in information and communication studies which will focus on the design, implementation and evaluation of new technologies in the fields and professions these units currently serve. --- Revise, refine, and implement the previously approved Ph.D. in Library and Information Science to incorporate a cognate area in Communication. --- Become a major player in UB's new Institute for Information, Communication, and Computation, contributing knowledge and research into the human aspects of information transfer. --- Develop an interdisciplinary research program dealing with the personal, organizational, and societal aspects of information transfer, especially as they are being impacted by information technologies. --- Seek and obtain funding from corporations, foundations, and government agencies whose missions concern public policy concerning information organization, retrieval, and delivery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We will continue to contact you as further developments occur.

ALAWON - HELP PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF FAIR USE AND DATABASE ACCESS _________________________________________________________________ ALAWON Volume 7, Number 113 ISSN 1069-7799 September 28, 1998 American Library Association Washington Office Newsline In this issue: (102 lines) - URGENT!!! HELP PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF FAIR USE AND DATABASE ACCESS: IT'S "NOW OR (PERHAPS) NEVERMORE" . . . _________________________________________________________________ HELP PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF FAIR USE AND DATABASE ACCESS: IT'S "NOW OR (PERHAPS) NEVERMORE" . . . Thanks to those of you who have responded to the Washington Office's latest copyright legislation alert (ALAWON vol. 7, #106, Sept. 15, 1998) by contacting Congress. It's official. The "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" (H.R. 2281) is now before a Senate/House Conference Committee that's poised to act fast. The Committee met for the first time late last Thursday and could meet for the **last** time as early as Tuesday, Sept. 29! Even if you've never contacted Congress before, now is the time to phone and fax all members of the Conference Committee listed below (especially if you are a constituent) to ask that they: (1) SUPPORT **no less protection for fair use** than that afforded by the House's version of H.R. 2281 (the Senate's version contains no fair use protection at all); AND (2) OPPOSE the inclusion of any "database protection" legislation in the final version of the bill (Title V of the House bill addresses this issue; the Senate bill is silent). It's also urgent that both of your Senators -- even though neither may be on the Conference Committee -- be asked to contact Senate conference committee leaders Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) immediately to relay the two critical messages above. For on-line sample letters, e-mail connections to your Members of Congress and more background information, please visit the Washington Office Web site at: http://congress.nw.dc.us/ala/ With your help this past week, we have made headway, especially on the "database protection" front. Senators Burns (R-MT), Conrad (D-ND), D'Amato (R-NY), Dorgan (D-ND), Lieberman (D-CT), Moynihan (D-NY), Rockefeller (D-WV), Shelby (R-AL), Snowe (R-ME), and Wyden (D-OR) all have written to Sens. Hatch and Leahy expressing concern that database legislation should not be incorporated into the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act." If you live in Alabama, Connecticut, Maine, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Oregon or West Virginia, please be sure to fax and phone your thanks to these Senators right away. They are under heavy pressure from database protection proponents to withdraw their objections to this seriously flawed legislation. Your immediate support and thanks will help them hold the line!
