政府主导下的社会知识保障体系

本文从生产与归属角度出发,认为知识可分为个人知识和社会知识。教育机构、科研院所、公共知识中心(图书馆)、情报部门和其他文化组织,共同构成了社会知识保障体系。政府是社会公共管理的主体,应当在制度、市场、设施和人才等方面采取有效措施,积极引导社会知识保障体系可持续发展。     

图书馆国际化的内涵、动因及对我国的启示

纵观全球图书馆事业的发展趋势，图书馆国际化不仅是图书馆的重要理念，而且已成为世界图书馆的具体实践。经济全球化、高新技术手段、世界政治现状、图书馆联盟、国际图联的推动、信息社会的需求和图书馆的自身发展是推动图书馆国际化的重要因素。

高等学校建立教学质量保障机制的思考

教学质量的保证依赖于完整的教学质量保障机制及其有效运行。一个有效运行的教学质量保障机制既能对教学质量进行评估、监督、考核,又能为学校的教学决策提供可靠的依据。本文在总结目前教学质量保证机制的经验基础上,从管理、监控、预警、激励等4个方面对建设教学质量保障长效机制展开讨论。

‘The feeling of exclusion’: Young peoples' perceptions of art galleries

This article first looks at the relationship between museums and art galleries and their potential audiences and, in particular, the under-represented sector of young visitors. It examines the main findings from the limited research available on young visitors, and goes on to discuss theories delineating the differences between the cultures, identities and values of culture consumers and culture providers. The second part of the article looks at what specific museums have done towards being more inclusive in their appeal, and then reports the findings of a survey of young people in relation to New Zealand's Auckland Art Gallery. The survey found that young people's ideas of what constitutes modern, relevant art do not match standard art criteria, and that most exhibitions and marketing methods do not mesh with their worldview. The article concludes by using data from the survey to suggest ways of engaging more young people with public art galleries.     

Analysis of the urban/rural broadband divide in Canada: Using GIS in planning terrestrial wireless deployment

Millions of Canadians residing in Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote communities do not have broadband Internet access. This situation has led to a national “broadband divide.” That is, the deployment of wireline broadband is very limited in Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote areas because of the significant expense of installation and maintenance of the wired infrastructure needed to reach dwellings in these locations.Terrestrial broadband wireless technology, on the other hand, does not entail the same kind of physical infrastructure. As a result, there are dramatic changes in how spatial considerations affect the provision of broadband Internet services (BIS) to areas beyond the urban zone. In particular, the spatial question is now focused on assessing the capacity for different technological solutions to reach profitable population bases, and brings to the forefront organizations that are developing non-line-of-sight (NLOS) technologies that would permit wireless Internet access over much greater distances than current solutions.We begin this paper by establishing the importance of broadband connectivity to Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote communities. This discussion comments on the role of the Government of Canada in the provision of broadband connectivity to residents of these communities, and outlines the current regulatory issues that govern wireless services and policy formulation.The second part of the paper illustrates the use of geographic information system (GIS) approaches in the study of wireless broadband planning and deployment. Case study findings suggest that GIS applications can make a significant contribution to the analysis of wireless deployment planning, to the understanding of the relationships between wireless signal sources and consumers, and to the spatial configuration of terrestrial wireless broadband networks. We conclude the paper by discussing how the GIS approach employed could be used to inform the public policy process with regard to increasing access to broadband Internet services in all regions of the country, and thereby providing the opportunity for all Canadians, regardless of location, to fully participate in the Information Society.     

Anonymous personalization in collaborative web search

We present an innovative approach to Web search, called collaborative search, that seeks to cope with the type of vague queries that are commonplace in Web search. We do this by leveraging the search behaviour of previous searchers to personalize future result-lists according to the implied preferences of a community of like-minded individuals. This technique is implemented in the I-SPY meta-search engine and we present the results of a live-user trial which indicates that I-SPY can offer improved search performance when compared to a benchmark search engine, across a variety of performance metrics. In addition, I-SPY achieves its level of personalization while preserving the anonymity of individual users, and we argue that this offers unique privacy benefits compared to alternative approaches to personalization.     

病车:丰子恺的机械观及其现代性反思

丰子恺对于现代机械文明的看法,正构成他现代性反思的一个极其重要的方面.和梁启超等启蒙知识分子的看法不同,铁路、火车一类的现代机械文明在丰子恺的文化视野里,并非就是进步的象征:相反,从现代机械对人性的挤压中,丰子恺看到的恰恰是现代机械"可怕"的一面.<病车>一类的漫画,正是从艺术的角度,阐释了作者这样的文化思想.
