Get PDFAuthor described the context of the development of technological and social relationships and how they mutually made changes on ways how people interact with information and access to knowledge.
The development of societies changed significantly the role of libraries and posed new technological and other challenges due to the development of information technologies.
Since the development of information technologies caused expansion of production capacities in societies there was additional need to standardize production of formats of access, distribution, archiving of information. Due to democratic character of many developed societies openness of information and human rights emphasized an importance of legal aspects and rights of persons with disabilities. Author mentioned articles of the UN Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities which required that parties which ratified convention should implement accessibility standards for persons with disabilities. Author presented standards and technical specifications that define accessibility of web interface, computer software and file formats. It is especially emphasized that those standards are important in libraries. Modern libraries should adopt and use file formats which are accessible for persons with disabilities in order to avoid risk of increased discrimination against persons with disabilities if inaccessible technologies will be used. Author believes that this would help persons with disability to use library resources and services equally as other users do.

Unsatisfaction: Joni Mitchell, Joan Báez, Patti Smith
No full textDesde pequeña aprendí a asociar la música hecha por mujeres con lo ligero, repetitivo y superficial, y la música hecha por hombres con la calidad, la seriedad, lo virtuoso. Desde los catorce años aprendí a preferir a Metallica sobre Julieta Vengas. Luego de varios años de haber internalizado esto, cerca de terminar las tres disciplinas que estudié en la universidad y con una perspectiva sobre el género más incisiva, vislumbré que en mi música no había mujeres: yo solo escuchaba a hombres. Hombres gigantes, hermosos, hombres que habían contado historias en seis minutos: tragedias, injusticias, desamores. Hombres de Premios Nobel y dignos de reverencias: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Roger Waters, Lou Reed. Eran irrepetibles, y fue exactamente esto lo que me hizo preguntarme: dónde están las mujeres?, las hay como ellos?, igual de grandes, agudas y recordadas? Este es un texto, podría ser una novela aliada con la crónica, que se agarra de tres mujeres fundamentales en mi vida: Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith y Joan Baez, para contar una historia propia (que realmente son muchas historias). Ellas me prestan su vida, su música, sus narrativas y sus letras para contar tres periodos de mi vida llenos de música, guitarras, figuras masculinas, experiencias límite y confinamiento tanto físico como mental. En lo que ellas alimentan una narración propia, mía, la historia reciente de mi vida, si se quiere, la narración también amplifica su mundo, la grandeza y las particularidades de cada una. Con la incidencia que ellas tienen en mi vida pretende darse la incidencia que ellas tienen en el mundo. Cómo era ser mujer en su época?, cómo era ser mujer en la música en su época?, qué tienen ellas que decirnos que no nos narran los imaginarios masculinos?, cuáles son las narrativas de estas tres mujeres?Since I was a little kid, I learned to associate lightness, repetitiveness and superficiality with music made by women, and quality, seriousness, virtuosity with music made by men. At fourteen years old I learned to prefer Metallica over Julieta Venegas. After a decade of internalizing this, close to finishing the three disciplines that I studied in my undergraduate years and with a more incisive perspective on gender, I glimpsed that there were not women in my music: I only listened to men. Giant, beautiful men that had told stories in six minutes: tragedies, injustices, heartbreaks. Men of Nobel Prizes and worthy of reverences: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Roger Waters, Lou Reed. They were one-off, which was exactly what made me ask myself: Where are the women? Are there any like them, as big and as searing and as remembered as them? This is a piece, could be a novel befriended to a chronicle, that holds on to three fundamental women in my life: Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith and Joan Baez, in order to tell my own story (that really are a multiplicity of stories). They lend me their lives, their music, their narratives and their lyrics for me to articulate three periods in my life full of music, guitars, masculine figures, borderline experiences and confinement, physical and mental. As they nurture my own narrative, the story of my recent life, if you will, such narrative also amplifies their own universe, their greatness as well as the particularities in each one. The incidence they have in the world is intended to show through the incidence they have in mine. What was it like to be a woman at their time? What was it like to be a woman in music at their time? What do they have to tell us that male imaginaries do not tell us? What are the narratives of these three women?LiteratoPregrad

Oriental enlightenment: the problematic military experiences and cultural claims of Count Maurice Auguste comte de Benyowsky in Formosa during 1771
No full textMaurice Benyowsky's colourful version of his global adventures during the heady, expansive days of the late-Enlightenment remains still as an historical account, and is perhaps destined for reification at a time of romantic, postmodernist cultural affirmation. Yet this paper argues that within it there lies a virile and possibly dangerous Orientalism, one at least partially based upon a lurid, opportunistic and self-seeking fabrication of his visit to Taiwan (Formosa) in the year 1771. This paper examines the veracity, provenance and historiography of the Benyowsky account of late-eighteenth century Formosa, both as an exercise in one facet of Taiwanese history and as some exploration of the origin and maintenance of European views of the "other" and of the "orient" as they were transforming during the late-Enlightenment period. Furthermore a principal task is to provide an historiographical analysis that illustrates both the initial reasons for the acceptance of Benyowsky's lurid account as well as the wider contexts of its long life as a seemingly reliable and authentic tale. Questions remain as to the cultural contexts of any general acceptance of otherwise doubtful stories, experiments, claims and "adventures". Here there is little doubt that the original Memoirs were given greater credence by Benyowsky's talent in self-fashioning his character and status as those of a reliable gentleman

World of made and unmade a poem
No full text""World of Made and Unmade is a deep blue yarn of very fine thread. We know much of poetry ever was and ever shall be elegiac. Jane Mead's poem could be neither more literal nor nearer the verge of appearing a little too perfect for this world. As the laundry room floods and the grape harvest gets done; as Michoacan waits for another time, her beautiful, practical mother is dying. Ashes are scattered in the pecan groves of her own Rincon, her own corner of the world, and the poet, in elementary script, draws a sustaining record of the only feeling worth the struggle, and she cannot, will not, does not fuck it up." -C.D. Wright Jane Mead's fifth collection candidly and openly explores the long process that is death. These resonant poems discover what it means to live, die, and come home again. We're drawn in by sorrow and grief, but also the joys of celebrating a long life and how simple it is to find laughter and light in the quietest and darkest of moments. … This year I have disappeared from the harvest routine- the pickers throwing their trays under the vines, grape hooks flying, the heavy bunches flying- pickers running to the running tractors with trays held high above their heads and the arc of dark fruit falling heavily into the half-ton bins. The hornets swarming in the diesel-filled air. Jane Mead is the author of four collections of poetry, most recently MONEY MONEY MONEY / WATER WATER WATER (2014). Her poems appear regularly in journals and anthologies, and she's the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a Whiting Writers Award, and a Lannan Foundation Completion Grant. She teaches at the low-residency MFA program at Drew University and farms in Northern California"..
