The Conglomeration of Public Radio: A Tale of Three Cities

A relatively unstudied development in the recent history of U.S. community and public radio is the emergence of metropolitan-based public radio networks. These are being constructed by buying out college and community facilities and frequencies by larger stations, resulting in student and community radio outlets being shifted to online streams and giving universities a one-time cash infusion, though this seems to vitiate the purpose of their educational licenses.     

A Tale of Two Decades

The two major schemes for transliteration or roman- izalion of Chinese into English, Wade-Giles and Pinyin, are ex- amined. The conclusion is that bolh methods are about equally effec- tive. However, since most of the rest of the world is now using Pinyin, LC should, for practical reasons, switch to Pinyin.     

从署名权角度谈无责任者信息的参考文献的著录方法

在使用作品中履行信息注明义务与责任是法律法规和参考文献著录规则对撰著者的明确要求。然而,被参考文献没有责任者信息又是经常遇到的问题。本文从署名权角度分析认为,有的期刊编辑部关于"来稿中的参考文献必须有作者姓名,否则文章不予发表"的规定可能降低文章质量,助长撰著者的侵权行为,并使编辑部面临责任风险。文章指出,对无责任者参考文献的著录应按照《文后参考文献著录规则》、《科学技术期刊编排格式》中的相关规定办事。编辑部应建立健全审稿制度与参考文献核查机制,尽到合理注意义务,防止出版侵犯他人著作权的出版物。

Transformative Radio and Stubborn Audiences: A Tale of Two Cities

A decade ago the regional programming of CBC Toronto successfully transformed itself with a new notion of community reflection that utilized a range of emerging digital platforms but put narrative radio storytelling at its centre. With the launch of CBC Hamilton in Spring 2012, as Canada's sole digital-only public broadcasting outlet (no over-the-air TV or radio), audio storytelling was conspicuously absent from the equation. Based on the only publicly available research conducted with CBC users and community leaders prior to and following both launches, the authors raise questions about audience conceptions and the enduring value of audio storytelling in an era of digital broadcasting and social media.     

Aural Atavism: The Witch's Tale and Gothic Horror Radio

This article offers a cultural historical interpretation of The Witch's Tale (1931–38), an early U.S. horror radio drama, and argues that the program's use of the Gothic genre unified its content and form. Its plays emphasized temporality to highlight the Gothic intertwining of the past and present, and offered allegories that while often rooted in the fantastic nevertheless addressed contemporary concerns—gender, Others, and socio-economic anxieties. It used sound to complement its content, evoking the supernatural and monsters, and cuing and sustaining suspense. And it tapped radio's connotation as a supernatural medium to complement and magnify its generic horror.     

大众媒体当代艺术报道的困境和悖论

新世纪以来,当代艺术日渐成为大众媒体上的一个常规报道领域.但是当代艺术的含混以及当代艺术生态的复杂都使得这个领域充满争议性和不确定性.文章从这一报道领域的悖论性入手,分析了当代艺术报道与艺术界、社会公众之间的矛盾和相互关系.当代艺术是一个非常特殊的报道领域,用普适的新闻价值和新闻规范去要求,将失去针对性并流于空洞说教,只有增强对这一领域悖论性的理解和探究,才能有的放矢,促使大众媒体的当代艺术报道以更加自省的意识去呈现当代艺术.

Reconstructed visions: The philosophies that shaped part of the Scottish national collections

The shifting location of one institution within a knowledge-space that is itself dynamic is examined through a brief case-study of one of the constituent museums which, in 1985, became a part of the then newly established National Museums of Scotland. Through examination of the declared intentions of successive directors over the 151 year history of the institution successively known as the Industrial Museum of Scotland, the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art, the Royal Scottish Museum, and the Royal Museum of Scotland, it attempts to reveal changes in that institution's perception of its own role, its corporate vision, and its sense of place within the social, intellectual and political landscape.

Collaboration in Electronic Resource Provision in University Libraries: SHEDL,a Scottish Case Study

This case study examines the growth of collaboration among Scottish higher education institutions. Following a summary of the work of the Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries (SCURL), more detailed information is provided on collaboration in the fields of acquisition, licensing, selection, and purchasing. Some of the UK background is outlined, relating to NESLi2 in particular, in order to illuminate the options within Scotland. The origins of negotiations on electronic resource provision within Scotland are described, drawing on developments in other countries including Ireland and Scandinavia. After initial setbacks, the implementation of the Scottish Higher Education Digital Library (SHEDL) from 2007 to 2009 is detailed. Current benefits arising from SHEDL are explained, and some possible future developments are discussed.     

Tale of two databases: The history of federally funded information systems for education and medicine

Access to scholarly information in the disciplines of education and medicine occurred primarily through the simultaneous development of two bibliographic databases. The Education Resource Information Center (ERIC) originated as a resource designed to be comprehensive in its inclusion of peer-reviewed and unpublished literature for the entire education community. MEDLINE began as a resource of selective materials for physicians and researchers. Today, ERIC includes selected peer-reviewed literature directed primarily to researchers and practitioners, although others use the database, while MEDLINE is a vast information system serving all health professionals and consumers. This literature analysis of their policy history shows important differences in their evolution. Application of the Multiple Streams Framework can help in formulating possible explanations for the different developmental paths. These paths include: the degree of centralization or decentralization of the information system's organizational structure; the stability of the organizational mission; and the success of assessment strategies, federal budgetary support, and bias toward science in federal policy-making. These two government-supported databases served as models for a plethora of other databases. However, one was successful in acquiring funding from the outset, while the other continually suffered deficiencies in support. The importance of each to public welfare should have been obvious, but was not.
