Abstract

North American newspaper headings in 1992 and 1993 gave the concept of 'family' a great deal of coverage. The debate over 'family values', the Family Leave Bill in the US Congress, and the furor over 'Nannygate' converged together to put the spotlight on families and related topics. Family studies (sometimes called family science) is a broad category, covering diverse fields of study and practice such as family therapy, family sociology, family psychology, social work, population studies, anthropology, family law and other disciplines

Abstract

This study evaluates how well the authors of Wikipedia history articles adhere to the site's policy of assuring verifiability through citations. It does so by examining the references and citations of a subset of country histories. The findings paint a dismal picture. Not only are many claims not verified through citations, those that are suffer from the choice of references used. Many of these are from only a few US government Websites or news media and few are to academic journal material. Given these results, one response would be to declare Wikipedia unsuitable for serious reference work. But another option emerges when we jettison technological determinism and look at Wikipedia as a product of a wider social context. Key to this context is a world in which information is bottled up as commodities requiring payment for access. Equally important is the problematic assumption that texts are undifferentiated bearers of knowledge. Those involved in instructional programs can draw attention to the social nature of texts to counter these assumptions and by so doing create an awareness for a new generation of Wikipedians and Wikipedia users of the need to evaluate texts (and hence citations) in light of the social context of their production and use.

Abstract

Controversy is a complex concept that has been attracting attention of scholars from diverse fields. In the era of Internet and social media, detecting controversy and controversial concepts by the means of automatic methods is especially important. Web searchers could be alerted when the contents they consume are controversial or when they attempt to acquire information on disputed topics. Presenting users with the indications and explanations of the controversy should offer them chance to see the "wider picture" rather than letting them obtain one-sided views. In this work we first introduce a formal model of controversy as the basis of computational approaches to detecting controversial concepts. Then we propose a classification based method for automatic detection of controversial articles and categories in Wikipedia. Next, we demonstrate how to use the obtained results for the estimation of the controversy level of search queries. The proposed method can be incorporated into search engines as a component responsible for detection of queries related to controversial topics. The method is independent of the search engine's retrieval and search results recommendation algorithms, and is therefore unaffected by a possible filter bubble. Our approach can be also applied in Wikipedia or other knowledge bases for supporting the detection of controversy and content maintenance. Finally, we believe that our results could be useful for social science researchers for understanding the complex nature of controversy and in fostering their studies.

Abstract

As the popularity of the recently installed CD-ROM network increased rapidly, and free online searches were offered to users, St. Mary's University Library, Texas, found that the use of printed abstracting and indexing services diminished rapidly. When the library investigated the possibility of cancelling the printed services, they found that it was possible in many cases to do so without impairing the service offered to users. Three database examples are presented: Social Sciences Citation Index; Engineering Index; and Index Medicus; to show how the library were able to effect successful replacements, for different reasons. Factors considered when making decisions about keeping or cancelling printed indexes in favour of electronic formats included: price; ease of access; usage patterns; end results and retrieval characteristics; quality of indexing and content; and ownership

Abstract

Review Global Explorer 1.0, a CD-ROM interactive atlas of the world. Global Explorer includes searchable references to more than 120.000 places and street maps of 100 cities throughout the world. The program also contains descriptions of 20.000 historical, cultural, geographical and social features and information on the geography, government, economy and population for each country of the world. The search process is described and the program evaluated. Although the user interface has some shortcomings and there are some errors in the database, Global Explorer is a unique and intersting way to explore the world and would be a beneficial additions to the map, public and school library

Abstract

By Internet resources Zhang means any electronic file accessible by any Internet protocol. Their usage is determined by an examination of the citations to such sources in a nine-year sample of four print and four electronic LIS journals, by a survey of editors of these journals, and by a survey of scholars with "in press" papers in these journals. Citations were gathered from Social Science Citation Index and manually classed as e-sources by the format used. All authors with "in press" papers were asked about their use and opinion of Internet sources and for any suggestions for improvement. Use of electronic sources is heavy and access is very high. Access and ability explain most usage while satisfaction was not significant. Citation of e-journals increases over the eight years. Authors report under citation of e-journals in favor of print equivalents. Traditional reasons are given for citing and not citing, but additional reasons are also present for e-journals.

Abstract

In the late 1950s Dr. J.C.R Licklider observed that most of his time as a researcher was spent an getting into a position to think, and not an creative thinking as such. "Much more time went into finding or obtaining information than into digesting it." (see Howard Reingold: "Tools for Thought-The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology", The MIT Press, Cambridge Massachusetts 2000, p133). A few years later Licklider became the director of ARPA, the research organization that initiated the forerunner to todays Internet, the ARPAnet. Licklider's observation might be seen as a general justification for the development of any research infrastructure, including the Internet. The overriding goal of a research infrastructure is to facilitate the maximization of the time spent an digesting and thinking over the time spent an finding and accessing. However, even today nearly 50 years after Licklider's observation and about 10 years after the invention of the World Wide Web, comparative social science research in Europe is hampered by the fragmentation of the scientific information space. Data, information and knowledge are scattered in space and divided by language and institutional barriers. As a consequence too much of the research are based an data from a single nation, carried out by a single-nation team of researcher and communicated to a single-nation audience. The state of affairs is preventing the development of a comparative and cumulative research process integrating and nurturing the entire European Research Area. Yesterday's answers to these challenges would probably have been formulated in terms of centralization and establishment of large-scale European-wide institutions. Today's answers should rather focus an the power of emerging information technologies to encourage communication, sharing and collaboration across spatially dispersed but scientifically related communities.
