Skal universitetsbibliotekerne overleve?
No full textDen fremtidige organisering af universitetets videnforsyning skal afhænge af universitetsfokuseret innovationstænkning. Men trangen til at bevare bibliotekerne som en institutionel form står i vejen for at udvikle relevante og tidsvarende services til universitetets brugere.Abstract in englis
Ending corruption in India by privatization, the last mile
No full textInternational audienceCorruption in India is deemed an accepted reality by most Indians who spend at least Rs4000.00 a year on it. Even basic utilities that are run by the government need bribes ranging from thousands to lakhs of rupees.

The last mile explores the privatization of electricity and transport, the two last domains of the government. The paper explores the final frontiers of privatization, private forest management. land tenure systems and alternative computational law leading to a total non dependence on the government by the people and freedom from corruption.

En refleksion over universitetsbibliotekets fremtidsperspektiv anno 2009
No full textArtiklen undersøger udviklingstendenserne hen imod digitale dokumenter, herunder såvel tendenserne i forlagenes udbud som i bibliotekernes anskaffelser og i brugernes benyttelse. Vurderingen er at Københavns Universitetsbibliotek inden for 5 år stort set vil være ophørt med at købe trykte tidsskrifter, at det inden for 20 år er ophørt med at købe trykte bøger og at hele den eksisterende trykte litteratur i samlingerne være erstattet af digitale udgaver inden for 30 år. Brugerne finder information på mange måder, og bibliotekets katalog og hjemmeside er ikke deres primære søgeredskab. Forskningsbibliotekerne konkurrerer både med de specialiserede bibliografiske systemer og med de generelle søgemaskiner, og synes at være ved at tabe kampen. Artiklen diskutere i dette perspektiv hvilke mulige funktioner forskningsbibliotekerne kan varetage, herunder udvikling af søgesystemer, etablering af studiemiljø, personlig service og bruger-undervisning, forskningsregistrering, etablering af repositories, dataforvaltning og digitalisering af universiteters informationsressourcer. Hvis det lykkes bibliotekerne at hage sig fast til formidlingen af digitale videnressourcer til universitetet kan de overleve som institution. Hvis ikke forsvinder en værdifuld institution, der har tjent civilisationen vel i århundreder, men hvis tid er omme, fordi andre løsninger tjener en ny tid bedre

An account is given of what Piccolomini will have known about Denmark and of his perception of Denmark as a peripheral state in the north of Europe and as a player in the European power game, as well as the relationship between Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire, and between Denmark and the Holy See. In particular, the position of King Christian I vis-à-vis the Crusade plans of the renaissance Popes -1464 is discussed

No full textIn this article, words/terms that are exchanged over time are studied. Words/terms referring to the concept ‘person with intellectual disability' are discussed. The main data has been extracted from information brochures and web pages 1959–2009. The theoretical perspective combines cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis. The methodology makes use of image schemas as known from Lakoff & Johnson (1980) in order to evaluate the terms. Further, discourse analysis is used in order to reveal implicit presuppositions about authorities related to the concept (doctors, politicians etc.). The results show that all terms used during 1959–2009 exhibit various difficulties. Terms containing efter ‘after' and ner ‘down', such as efterbliven and person med funktionsnedsättning, will give rise to negative associations. Specific terms, such as barn som i sitt fortsatta leverne behöver mycket stora resurser för att kunna fortsätta sin utveckling 'children, who in their life from now on need very great resources in order to be able to continue their development' have great depth in terms of intention, but are difficult to use more generally. Concerning authorities, early texts (during 1950's and 1960's) express a strong confidence in authorities such as doctors and experts, while later texts (during 1990's and 2000's) show that the competence about ‘person with disabilities' is to be found in persons working close to the group (on a daily basis) or in the very group

Hprints - Licence to publish
No full textThis is the final report from Phase 2, the last phase of the second Nordbib-project on hprints and related issues. The first project set out to establish an e-print archive for the humanities and social sciences. Our case studies have shown that when informed more thoroughly about OA, researchers realised the potential advantages for them. The universities have a role here as well as the libraries that manage the archives and support scholars in various aspects of the publishing processes. Libraries are traditionally service providers with a mission to facilitate the knowledge production and dissemination of research results. Today‟s transitional and for researchers confusing state of scholarly communication should also lead to a modification of the missions of research libraries. Even they should undergo a kind of paradigm shift
