    UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)

    No full text
    This draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators

    Populism, populists, european democracies and European Union. The Italian case

    No full text
    In this chapter, the author starts by a necessary clarification of some notions as populism and fascism because there is a lot of confusion in the public debate but also a lot of academic controversies. The debate has been immediately re-launched in September 2022, after the victory at the general elections of Giorgia Meloni’s head of Brothers of Italy, a party who has a neo-fascist legacy, and after her nomination as chief of the Italian government. Marc Lazar concludes this first part of the chapter by giving what he calls an operative definition of populism, populist and fascism. In a second part, the author analyses Meloni’s party Brothers of Italy and proposes a characterisation of this party which is evolving. In a third part of the chapter, Marc Lazar reflects on what does Meloni and her party on Italian democracy and on the European Union but also what the Italian democracy and the European Union do to Meloni and Brothers of Italy. For the author, the Italian democracy and the European Union demonstrate a high capacity of resilience to the populist challenge and a propension of acculturation of the populists’ leader and party. He concludes pointing out that is a working progress, the end of which is unknown

    les problèmes environnementaux de la terre d'innovation et de partage

    No full text
    Firstly, I will ask the questions that I think will identify the various aspects of the problem: * What are the ecological impacts of the production of IT hardware and software? * What are the trends and orders of magnitude? * What culture have we developed around this production? * How is this culture intimately linked to the problems we face and the solutions that will eventually have to be accepted? * What resources should ideally be mobilised to deal with the emergence and adoption of these solutions?Secondly, I will refer to the multiple stakeholders and the messages conveyed around the ecology of digital technology. I will try to identify a common, factual and usable core to build a strategy.I will then look at the strategy itself by developing several areas of focus: * our immediate responsibility both as a producer and provider of services and also architectures * my conviction that the Higher Education and Research community, if the politicians give us the means, is more capable than any other of designing, developing and promoting the innovations necessary for "digital transition" that respects the specifications set for us by the ecological realities.Finally, I will explain the need to make our managers aware of the necessary cultural changes that will first have to be made within our departments.Dans une première partie, je poserai les questions qui permettent selon moi de cerner les différents aspects du problème: * Quels sont les impacts écologiques de la production de matériels et logiciels informatiques? * Quels sont les tendances et les ordres de grandeurs? * Quelle culture avons-nous développé autour de cette même production ? * En quoi cette culture est-elle intimement liée aux problèmes auxquels nous devons faire face et aux solutions qu'il va bien falloir finir par accepter ? * Quels sont les moyens qu'il faudrait idéalement mobiliser pour l'émergence et l'adoption de ces solutions ?Dans une seconde partie, j'évoquerai la pluralité des acteurs et des messages qui sont véhiculés autour de l'écologie du numérique et tenterai d'en dégager un tronc commun, factuel et exploitable pour bâtir une stratégie.Puis j'en viendrai à la stratégie elle-même et ceci en développant plusieurs axes: * notre responsabilité immédiate à la fois comme que producteur et fournisseur de services mais aussi dans les architectures * la conviction qui est mienne que la communauté ESR, si le politique nous en donne les moyens, est plus que tout autre capable de concevoir, développer et promouvoir des innovations nécessaire à une "transition numérique" respectueux du cahier des charges que nous fixent les réalités écologiques.Enfin j'expliquerai la nécessité de sensibiliser des maintenant nos hiérarchies aux nécessaires changements de culture qui devront d'abord s'effectuer au sein même de nos services

    Managing Technology Risks Through Technological Proficiency: Guidance for Local Governments

    No full text
    Like most organizations, local governments face challenges managing technology, the critical resource to meet evolving public service expectations. But benefits associated with adapting the latest technology come with risks, some more apparent than others. This report details the problems facing municipal officials as they try to maximize the benefits of technology for their communities and constituents in the face of cybersecurity, legal, operational, financial, reputational and societal risks. The report concludes that top municipal officials must create and maintain an environment of “technological proficiency.” That includes creating a process for making technology decisions, developing an annually reviewed technology plan that is tied to the budget, instituting a “cyber hygiene” training program for all employees in proper computer security practices, and making sure that agency technology is competently managed. The report is supplemented by a "Best Practices and Resources Guide" that organizations can use to achieve technology proficiency. It provides best practices based on an organization's technology profile.Report and Supplement were prepared for the Municipal Excess Liability Fund, a joint insurance fund of over 600 New Jersey local government agencies
