The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

A Century of Humanics and Humanism at Springfield College - Dr. Jean F. Ross (c. 1985)
No full textThis document titled “A Century of Humanics and Humanism at Springfield College” is the Humanics Lecture that was given at Springfield College by Distinguished Professor of Humanics Dr. Jean F. Ross on May 5, 1985. This was an especially important year, as it was the Centennial of Springfield College. Dr. Ross joined the faculty as a Teaching Fellow in 1960 and quickly established herself as an unusually hardworking, student centered, able teacher even on a faculty characterized by those traits. She later became a Professor of Biology at Springfield College and taught for 25 years. In her lecture Ross makes it a point of looking at Humanics from a scientist’s point of view, and how sciences are essential to understand one side of the triangle, the body, to explore the biological and chemical basis of the actions of the mind, and to contribute to the survival of the spirit of man. She goes on to question the survival of the Humanics philosophy after 100 years and how one confirms this. Ross believes that the concept of volunteerism, which exists outside the curriculum, is an important means of expression of the Humanics philosophy at Springfield College. Ross shares the results of her modest survey of volunteer service of students at the College. Out of 497 responses (24% of the population completed the survey), only 214 could be used for analysis. The total number of hours donated by these persons was 94,904 and the average per person per year was 443 hours. The monetary value, at minimum wage, of that work is $317,928, a substantial contribution to the well-being of the College and the community. Based off of these results, Ross “believes that at the close of our first century of existence, we are today as fully committed to the humanics ideal as those who have gone before us, even as the societal needs which are being addressed today are surely more disparate and demanding than those of the past. Yes, once again, folks, Humanics is alive in '85!!” Next, Ross talks about Humanics in Springfield’s Second Century. Select topics include full partnership for women and increasing both minority and female participation at the College. Ross also believes that more time, effort, and money needs to be put into faculty development. Ross leaves the audience by challenging them to dream some of their own ideas and work together as a humanics-oriented community to make this happen.
Humanics is a word that has a special meaning in the history and philosophy of Springfield College, as well as in the college’s motto of “Spirit, Mind, and Body.” The Oxford English Dictionary defines Humanics as, “the subject or study of human affairs or relations, especially of the human element of a problem or situation as opposed to the mechanical.” In 1962, Dr. Glenn Olds, President of Springfield College at the time, began to wonder why this name was given to the intended philosophy of the college by Dr. Laurence Locke Doggett, Springfield College’s first full-time president. Olds acknowledged that the practices of the faculty were in large part consistent with the Humanics philosophy, but he believed that a more self-conscious application would improve chances of its continuity and survival. To ensure this, a Distinguished Professor of Humanics position was created at the college, first filled by Dr. Seth Arsenian from 1966-1969. The purpose of this position was to catalyze a renewal of consciousness in the philosophy. This was done by annually mandating the Distinguished Professor of Humanics to give a Humanics lecture on the definition of Humanics and what the concept means to them. Arsenian started this tradition in 1967 with his speech titled, “The Meaning of Humanics,” in which he described the concept as a set of ideas, values, and goals that make our college distinct from other colleges and make commitment and unity toward commonly sought goals possible
