Remembering Claudia Card: Two Tributes
No full textFrom the editor: On behalf of the editors of FPQ, I thank our colleagues for providing us their public addresses at the Celebration of Life of Professor Claudia Falconer Card of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who died on Saturday, September 12, 2015. Claudia Card was the author of over one hundred articles and books, key works of moral and feminist philosophy including Confronting Evils: Terrorism, Torture, Genocide (Cambridge 2010), The Atrocity Paradigm: A Theory of Evil (Oxford 2002), and The Unnatural Lottery: Character and Moral Luck (Temple 1996). She was the president of the Central division of the APA 2010-2011, which she often described as her favorite division of the APA. She earned her BA from UW-Madison, and her PhD in 1969 from Harvard University, as the advisee of John Rawls, whom she spoke of with affection as one of the most sensitive and generous of philosophers. I remain grateful to Claudia for being the sort of philosopher who helped her students, colleagues, and readers to confront our responsibilities, and the responsibilities of others, as she lived her own philosophy of taking responsibility for one’s own identity.

Card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs) : Issues concerned with their planning and implementation
No full textThis article identifies and discusses the issues and problems that need to be considered in the process of planning and implementing card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs). CIPACs are online library catalogues based on databases of digitised catalogue cards with more or less sophisticated mechanisms for browsing or searching. Solutions of this kind have been implemented by a number of libraries in various countries since the mid-1990s, mainly as inexpensive alternatives to full retrospective conversion of their old catalogues. Based upon a questionnaire and relevant literature, the article looks at the following aspects: cost, conversion speed, universal access, saving of space, preservational aspects, software selection, preparing the card catalogue for conversion, scanning and quality control, image standards, optical character recognition, manual and intellectual input, technological aspects, administrative tools, organisational aspects, peculiarities of old catalogues, presentation of CIPACs to the users, and life expectancy of card-image catalogues
Card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs) : An international survey
No full textThis paper surveys card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs) – online library catalogues based on databases of digitised catalogue cards and more or less sophisticated mechanisms for browsing or searching. Solutions of this kind have been implemented by a number of libraries in various countries since the mid-1990s, mainly as inexpensive alternatives to a full retrospective conversion of their old catalogues. The article presents a Web page dedicated to CIPACs, identifies and describes four main categories of interface software for such catalogues, and provides a comparative overview of 50 CIPACs in 11 countries, looking at aspects such as geographical distribution, growth and size, software, number of catalogues, processing and index creation, navigation, image formats, and other features

The Future of Charge Card Networks
No full textThe general-purpose charge card is now ubiquitous and largely taken for granted. Annual charge card volume exceeds $5 trillion worldwide. Within the United States, nearly one billion cards are in use (about eight per household), and more than two billion worldwide. But charge cards, or more specifically, the cooperative networks that serve the largest card systems, Visa and MasterCard, are under legal attack through multiple lawsuits and under regulatory challenge in other countries. We trace in this essay multiple possible future 'scenarios'. This focus on possible futures distinguishes our work from many earlier studies of this subject.
Voldtægt som et krigsvåben
No full textClaudia Card argues that mass rape in war, like civilian rape, is a form of terrorism that aims to domesticate both women survivors of rape and the man who are socially connected to women who are raped. The primary function of rape, whether civilian or martial, is to produce dominance. The purpose of war rape, such as has occurred in Bosnia-Herzegovina, is genocide. War rape involves both outright slaughter as well as the cultural decimation of a group's identity. Although on the individual level, motives for committing war rape may be banal, coherent patterns are apparent at the level of strategy. The symbolic meaning of rape in patriarchal societies is dominance. Card explores possible strategies for resisting war rape. She discusses the importance of women becoming armed and skilled in the weapons of defence, and speculates about the possibility of women infiltrating the military. She fantasizes about "compulsory transsexual surgery" as a penalty for rape, a penalty which would attack the primary symbol of male dominance. The ultimate aim of resistance is to change the symbolic significance of rape, so that it no longer communicates dominance
