Morrison, Jane: Redevelopment
No full textJane Morrison: I think the redevelopment agency has done some marvelous things, but people don’t realize that it’s done some negative things. It used to be that run-down property is where poor people lived, and where the Moscone center is was covered with cheap hotels. They were 40,000, now it’d be worth a million and a half if the person had gotten to keep it, but they didn’t get to keep it, and they left it empty for twenty years. No one has ever talked about that, but it concerned me because there was cheap housing in the Fillmore where the people could live, but it’s not there anymore
Morrison, Jane: Moscone\u27s appointing method
No full textJane Morrison: Unlike mayors before George Moscone, each mayor appointed to commissions – which was kind of an honorary mint position – to the people who gave them the most money. The favorite commission was [Recreation and Park] because those commissions got season baseball tickets and season football tickets. So those were the only people put on commissions. George Moscone came in and decided he would open it up to everybody, Gimmy had referred to that. George said that anyone who wanted to be on a commission should send in their application. He appointed former Supervisor Jack Morrison to be head of the committee. Sue Beerman and others who knew the city were members, and they reviewed the resumes that people sent in who wanted to be on a commission. They’d say which commission wanted; what their qualifications were. And they would pick four or five candidates from each group for each commission and give those resumes to George Moscone, and he’d pick the commissioner from there
UK Copyright Literacy Survey: summary report
No full textThe Copyright Literacy Survey aimed to gather data of copyright awareness amongst UK librarians and those working in related cultural heritage organisations, such as galleries, archives and museums. The data was gathered in late 2014 following several significant changes to UK copyright law, including several new exceptions of relevance to librarians and those working in the education and cultural heritage sectors. The survey instrument was developed in Bulgaria and findings from phase one of the project from four countries (Bulgaria, France, Turkey and Croatia) were presented at the European Conference of Information Literacy in 2014. In order to allow cross-country comparisons, the questions were devised by the original project team and only minor changes to reflect UK terminology and institutions were made.
This report provides a high level summary of the key findings from the UK survey. The researchers will undertake further analysis to compare the findings to other countries and to draw conclusions from the data. Further publications and conference papers are planned later in 2015, but due to the high level of interest in the survey it was considered appropriate to release a summary of the data at this stage
