Braille preservation: recognising and respecting archival materials produced by and for the blind

There is a noticeable gap in the archival literature concerning the preservation of braille and other tactile print formats that, since the eighteenth century, have been produced by and for blind and visually impaired persons. Based on the insights gained from interviews with information professionals and additional research conducted by the author into the historical usage and production of braille, this paper aims to highlight factors that may affect the preservation and accessibility of braille in archives. While this article will not generate specific preservation guidelines, policies and procedures for braille – measures to be created in a future study – the purpose of this article is to draw an initial awareness to the issues that influence the preservation of and access to these archival records.

iSchools and archival studies

Whispers and rumors about the iSchool movement lead some to fear that this represents yet another shift away from the valued traditions of library schools, threatening something far different than what library science pioneers ever envisioned. Predating the iSchool movement, however, were other programmatic shifts such as those that led to the formalization of graduate archival education. This essay argues that such evolution is essential to our future, as iSchools tackle the increasingly complex issues confronting a digital society. We consider the mission and history of iSchools and of archival studies, the basic elements and concepts of archival studies that are critical to iSchools, and the relationship between iSchools and the changing nature of personal and institutional archives.

网络环境下档案价值的变化对档案利用工作的影响

在网络环境下，档案提供利用的方式由传统的需要通过提供实物进行利用变为脱离原始载体直接提供信息内容的利用，这是档案价值规律发生变化的根本原因。在传统的提供实物利用中，由于受到时间和空间的约束以及实物本身的因素，只能是单用户线型接力式传递，档案价值运动的速度、规模都受到极大的限制。然而在网络环境下，档案信息传递方式由实物变为信息内容的传递，档案价值规律发生以下变化：
