No full textThe ‘Jane Jacobs Walk’ organization as one of the Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) heritage initiative supported three Jane Jacobs Walks of certified Fred Sanders in the period 2011 - 2014 in Amsterdam neighbour-hoods. These walks helped residents to explore resident-empowered meeting-places and activities in their own housing environment for the benefit of community living-quality for themselves and others all spirited by Jane Jacobs her thoughts. These walks can methodological be seen as a form action-research by which the participating residents analyze their own data of experiences and insights. From the threeJane Jacob Walks organized (added to the results of my dissertation as the ‘body of knowledge’) (Sanders, 2014) the conclusions are: 1. Residents favor nearby and lifestyle coupled meeting-places, 2. Beside the by the municipality organized meeting-places there are many so called ‘free’ meeting-places available, 3. Less of all these meeting-places suite youngsters, foreign people and unemployed people, and 4. Resi-dents are willing to organize meeting-place even to manage subsidizing still a financial support from the municipality is essential. The effect of the ‘talking by walking’ could be optimized by involving more youngsters. ‘Jane Jacobs Walks’ as example of action-research could methodological be optimized by test-ing the results in a pilot neighbourhood.Environmental Technology and Desig

"Great Conversations" with Seymour Hersh, Walter Mondale, and Larry Jacobs
No full textLarry Jacobs, Mondale Chair for Political Studies and director of the Center of the Study of Politics and Governance at the Humphrey Institute, and Walter Mondale, former Vice President of the United States, discussed America's constitutional crisis with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, at the Ted Mann Concert Hall as part of the University "Great Conversations" series.
Seymour M. Hersh wrote his first piece for The New Yorker in 1971 and has been a regular contributor to the magazine since 1993. His journalism and publishing awards include a Pulitzer Prize, five George Polk Awards, two National Magazine Awards, and more than a dozen other prizes for investigative reporting. As a staff writer, Hersh won a National Magazine Award for Public Interest for his 2003 articles “Lunch with the Chairman,” “Selective Intelligence,” and “The Stovepipe.” In 2004, Hersh exposed the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in a series of pieces in the magazine; in 2005, he again received a National Magazine Award for Public Interest, an Overseas Press Club award, the National Press Foundation’s Kiplinger Distinguished Contributions to Journalism award, and his fifth George Polk Award, making him that award’s most honored laureate.Jacobs, Lawrence R..

Jane Jacobs and creative cities
No full textIn February 2007, I published a short review of the biography Jane Jacobs: Urban Visionary, in the Dutch weekly Intermediair. It began as follows: “The Jacobses are a close-knit, productive family. The most famous at this moment is perhaps my cousin Marc, chief designer for Louis Vuitton. My uncles Aad and Georges made a career for themselves in Dutch and Belgian business circles. The name of great-uncle Edgard P. might ring a bell among comic strip fans as the author of the renowned Blake & Mortimer series. But the one I’m most proud of is my American-Canadian great-aunt Jane who died last year.” I thought I had laid it on so heavily that nobody would believe that I was related to all these famous Jacobses. But people did believe it! I even received an email from a fellow professor from Delft, who was very impressed by the fact that I was related to the famous Jane Jacobs: “What a small world it is….

Jacobs schrijversvrienden
No full textSinds 2001 wordt jaarlijks een schrijver uitgenodigd om gedurende een periode van twee maanden het gastschrijverschap aan de Technische Universiteit Delft te vervullen. De TU Delft organiseert het gastschrijverschap in samenwerking met Verstegen & Stigter culturele projecten. Het gastschrijverschap begint met een openbaar openingscollege. Vervolgens geeft de schrijver een masterclass die uitsluitend toegankelijk is voor studenten van de TU Delft. Ter afsluiting houdt de gastschrijver de openbare Vermeerlezing, waarbij de resultaten van de masterclass gepresenteerd worden. Studenten die de gehele masterdass hebben doorlopen, krijgen een certificaat uitgereikt door de rector magnificus en de gastschrijver. Op 8 januari 2010 droeg Jacob Fokkema de rectorsfakkel over aan zijn opvolger Karel Luyben. Daarmee kwam tevens een eind aan Jacobs betrokkenheid bij het Delftse gastschrijverschap. Verstegen & Stigter heeft al Jacobs Schrijversvrienden gevraagd een persoonlijk woord op papier te zetten. Dit boekje is het resultaat. Een hommage aan Jacob Fokkema, als geschreven blijk van dank voor zijn bezield gastheerschap op de TU Delft
Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional and National Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandates
No full textNo research institution can afford all the journals its researchers may need, so all articles are losing research impact (usage and citations). Articles made “Open Access,” (OA) by self-archiving them on the web are cited twice as much, but only 15% of articles are being spontaneously self-archived. The only institutions approaching 100% self-archiving are those that mandate it. Surveys show that 95% of authors will comply with a self-archiving mandate; the actual expe-rience of institutions with mandates has confirmed this. What institutions and funders need to mandate is that (1) immediately upon acceptance for publication, (2) the author’s final draft must be (3) deposited into the Institutional Repository. Only the depositing needs to be mandated; set-ting access privileges to the full-text as either OA or Restricted Access (RA) can be left up to the author. For articles published in the 93% of journals that have already endorsed self-archiving, access can be set as OA immediately; for the remaining 7%, authors can email the eprint in re-sponse to individual email requests automatically forwarded by the Repository
