Interactive Multi-Submission Deposit Workflows for Desktop Applications
No full textOnline submission and publishing is the norm for academic researchers. With the pressure on these authors to submit their work to conferences, journals and Institutional Repositories, this leads to demands on the author to go through multiple web based interfaces, filling in forms with the same information multiple times before they can submit. At the same time, each of these services in turn will have made policy decisions on what types of format they allow and what templates the content has to conform to. The amount of work expected of the author does not adding up to the potential gain, thus most authors will only submit into the repository or publication where they foresee the most benefit. In this paper we propose a solution to this problem that embeds the workflow for multiple submissions into the desktop application of the author, most commonly Microsoft Word. We also propose extending the work done on the Microsoft Word Author Add-in tool to allow two-way negotiation between each repository and the desktop application
[Letter] [c. 1873] 13th, Elmira [to] Warner / Saml L. Clemens.
No full textSee also additional letters in the collection from Twain.Twain tells Warner that the "surplusage" in the contract of "about 600 pages" is unnecessary; he instructs Warner to tell Bliss to take it out, and amend the contract to state that they will provide him with the manuscript for _The Gilded Age_. He states that he and "Livy" are a little rusty as the baby was sick and kept them up "seven tenths of the night." In a postscript, Twain tells Warner that the sensational Lackland is "perhaps better suited to the stage than a book." The recipient of the letter, Charles Dudley Warner, was Twain\u27s co-author for his satirical _The Gilded Age_ (1873). Novelist, essayist, lecturer, prospector, river pilot, and journalist, Samuel Langhorne Clemens used the pseudonym "Mark Twain," a river pilot\u27s catchphrase for measuring depth. His boyhood and early apprenticeship as a river boat pilot on the Mississippi provided much of the background for his most well-known works _The Adventures of Tom Sawyer_ (1876) and _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ (1884)
Size isn’t everything: sustainable repositories as evidenced by sustainable deposit profiles
No full textThe key to a successful repository is sustained deposits, and the key to sustained deposits is community engagement. This paper looks at deposit profiles automatically generated from OAI harvesting information and argues that repositories characterised by occasional large-volume deposits are a sign of a failure to embed in institutional processes. The ideal profile for a successful repository is discussed, and a new service that ranks repositories based on these criteria is implemented

Le Play, Warner, and the Sociology of Fieldwork
No full textSeveral American sociologists have earlier noted, albeit briefly, Frédéric Le Play’s contributions to sociology, for example: Amos Warner (1886), George E. Howard (1904, III: 378), Elsie Clews Parsons (1906: 305, 337), Robert Park and Ernest Burgess (1921: 215), Emory S. Bogardus (1928: 615-16), Charles H. Cooley (Cooley, Angell and Carr 1933: 479), Floyd House (1936), and Lewis Mumford (1948: 678, 683). To this list, Luigi Tomasi (below) adds the names of Merle Frampton, Walter Goldfrank, Robert Nisbet, Catherine Silver, Albion Small, Pitirim Sorokin, and Carle Zimmerman. E.R.A. Seligman and Alvin Johnson included a short biography of Le Play in their Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences (Salomon 1933). Two British writers, Higgs (1890) and Herbertson (1920-21), also provided early summaries of Le Play’s work. Many of these names are well known, and a few are of more recent vintage than others, but the names “Frédéric Le Play” and “Amos Griswold Warner” are not frequently linked in sociological accounts of the discipline today. Warner, the author of American Charities, a foundational work in Americansociology (Howard 1908; Deegan1989), not only wroteabout LePlay (below), but also published in the journal founded by Le Play, La Réforme sociale (Warner 1888). The “symposium” presented in this issue of SOCIOLOGICALORIGINS celebratesWarner’s early openness to European ideas and the largely unacknowledged role of Le Play’s ideas in American sociology
Robert Warner and his Fight for Independence of Archives
No full textThis article is dedicated to the life and work of the 6th Archivist of the U.S.A. R. M. Warner, his struggle for the independence of the National Archives of the USA from the United States General Services Administration, the events of XXI International Conference of the Round Table on Archives, CITRA, (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), that was held in a complex international setting during the Lebanon War in 1982. Defending the State of Israel’s right to participate in the conference, R. M. Warner proved that the International Council on Archives is a professional organization of archivists around the world and cannot be subjected to political influence. A leading role in the personality of the head of the Archives is played by vocational education, which allows them to understand the essence of things, to experience all the facets of the problems of his profession and the field, which they manage. Gained experience is also very important, not only in the professional area, but also in the area of historical and archival science. Of course, the leader must possess personal communication skills and a certain charisma. The most important criterion of the head of the Archives is their non-participation in political parties and radical religious movements. Robert Warner met all these requirements. Not many would dare to risk their careers and confront the powers that be in upholding the principle of «archives out of politics». The author also focuses on the key figures of the described events – the archivists of Israel, the Soviet Union and Malaysia
