RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
Harvey Loomis: a Historical Discourse
No full textSame paragraph:
The small beginnings of great things are always impressive; who does not feel the charm of the spring, or stream, or lake -- in the woods up among the mountains -- which form the sources of the river, upon whose banks is one\u27s birthplace and home, and which bears upon its broad current the commerce of a city, as the river flows majestically to the sea? Is it not with something of the same fascination that we think tonight, of that memorable day in the annal of Bangor, when four men, whose names we gratefully recall, gathered with Harvey Loomis, then a young man of 25, to form a Church of Christ in this community? And it must have been with some sense of the importance of the occasion that this little church of four members was organized, and Mr. Loomis was ordained and installed as its first minister.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1108/thumbnail.jp
Charles Francis Hall (1821-1871)
No full textHall conceived an interest in arctic exploration in his late thirties and in 1859 he mounted his first expedition in search of Franklin. He sailed to Baffin Island on board a whaling vessel and was fortunate to encounter an English-speaking Eskimo couple when he was put on shore. They taught him about arctic survival and were his loyal companions throughout his life. His next trip north was made in 1865. This time the whaling vessel put him ashore at Roe\u27s Welcome Sound in Hudson\u27s Bay. In 1869 he finally reached King William Island where he found relics from the Franklin Expedition, but gave up hope of finding any survivors. In 1871 he sailed north as leader of a full-scale expedition, aboard the Polaris. He and the leader of the scientific staff, Dr. Emil Bessels, shared very poor relations, and once the ship and crew had settled for the winter in Hall Basin, Hall briefly travelled by sledge northwards, returned to the ship, and after drinking a cup of coffee became violently ill. He died two weeks later. His body was exhumed in 1968 by Chauncey Loomis, Hall\u27s biographer. An autopsy revealed that Hall had been given large doses of arsenic, which was commonly used as a medicine, prior to his death. It is not known whether Dr. Bessels did this, accidentally or otherwise, or the arsenic was self-administered. However, Dr. Bessels never admitted to the Board of enquiry that he administered any arsenic to Charles Hall
