    The technological advances today make it possible to think in terms of storing all the knowledge of the human race in digital form and several organizations worldwide are experimenting with less-expensive ways to create Institutional Repositories. For long-term preservation of our knowledge base and cultures, we have to find out an economical way to save digital content for future generations. INFLIBNET (Information and Library Network Centre) decided to opt DSpace for its Institutional Repository and archive its publications, conference proceedings, lecture notes etc. D-Space, jointly designed by MIT and HP, is a groundbreaking digital library system that captures, stores, indexes, preserves and redistributes the intellectual output of a university’s research faculty in digital formats. This paper narrates the practical experiences and provide an overview of INFLIBNET’s institutional repository and dArchive-India developed for Indian academic and research community to archive their intellectual work

    Dante poeta-profeta, pellegrino, autore : strutturazione espessiva della Commedia e visione escatologica dantesca

    No full text
    Lo studio del profetismo dantesco e del rapporto tra esso e la "lupa" (cioè la cupidigia-volontà di potenza, è condotto attraverso l'analisi dei momenti più intensamente profetici del poema: dagli aspetti escatologici, politici e sociali dell'antefatto, attraverso le intense reminiscenze da Ezechiele e da Apocalisse ricontestualizzate in Purg. XIX e XX, alle grandiose visioni escatologico-politiche di Purg. XXXII e XXXIII, alla sommessa e dolente speranza espressa negli ultimi canti di Beatrice.Il grido profetico di Dante è inseparabile dalle diverse immagini del poeta all'interno della Commedia: il poeta-pellegrino (l'agens); il poeta-scriba, addetto a riprodurre le esperienze vissute dal pellegrino; l'autore, cioè il poeta-profeta, il quale dice "io" anch'egli e intervienedal presente della scrittura per ammaestrare il lettore ed esecrare i vizi della cristianità sviata. Si esamina quindi la posizione di Dante tra i poeti-auctores antichi e l'auctoritas che spetta ai libri sacri di AT e di NT.The study of Dantean prophetism and of its relationship with the “she-wolf” (that is greed-lust for power), is carried out through the analysis of the most intensely prophetic moments of the poem: from the eschatological, political and social aspects of the background, through the intense reminiscences from Ezekiel and Apocalypse re-contextualized in Purgatory XIX and XX, to the great eschatological-political visions of Purgatory XXXII and XXXIII, to the quiet and sorrowful hope expressed in Beatrice's last cantos. Dante's prophetic cry is inseparable from the different images of the poet inside the Comedy : the pilgrim poet (the agens); the scribe poet, assigned to reproduce the experiences lived by the pilgrim; the author, that is the prophet poet, who also says “I” and intervenes from the present of the writing to teach the reader and execrate the vices of led astray Christianity. Then Dante's position is examined between the ancient auctores- poets and the auctoritas due to the holy books of the Old and New Testament

    Strategies on e-resources management for smart information systems

    There has been a paradigm shift the world over, the way how information and knowledge is being generated, stored, accessed, disseminated and consumed. Information and communication technology (ICT) is the game changer in this and it has propelled the growth of large numbers of electronic resources across the world. Organizations now spend a major portion of their budget for subscribing to electronic resources such as e-journals, e-books, bibliographic/full-text databases, online services and web portals. It is imperative on the part of the information professional to have a componentized and a multi-system approach to knowledge technologies and information management. Seamless aggregation and meticulous integration of diverse data streams embracing the traditional as well as the electronic information is the most appropriate strategy to be adopted and applied. Switching over to the technology pedestal shall ensure the information systems an exponential growth in the r-resource base, as well as facility to outreach to a wider community at a 24x7 formula. Information systems could also explore numerous resource base enhancement innovations such as the UGC Infonet, INDEST Consortium etc. and several Open Source Digital Library technologies towards making the library vibrant, resourceful, accessible and visible. More over with the advent of an array of ICT applications and with the upsurge and penetration of a vast variety of electronic content, the multitude of electronic information services will indeed attract and potentially influence the users prompting them to step in and stick to the changed scenario. As a measure of the impact on the scientific and research productivity, the increase in the overall scholarly intellectual capital of the institute could be matched against the improvement in research publications and the conferences, symposia, workshops etc. hosted by the organization. Quality improvement on the courses offered by the organization could also be considered

    All over the world libraries are undergoing a major transformation. The need of the society is forcing the libraries to undergo such a change. The emerging technology of digital libraries (DL), an offshoot of information revolution, can drastically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management of physical and financial resources of libraries. The advantages of having a DL are now well understood by librarians, technologists, managers and others. The library has to equip to meet with global trends for the ultimate benefit of information seekers. Several factors play major role in the process of digitization. This paper discusses the transformation of a library from traditional type to the automated to digital form. It also highlights some of the issues involved in such process. Eventually coupled with digital technology, the DL becomes reality for anybody, anytime and anywhere

    Sant'Ambrogio nella letteratura religiosa slava orientale del Sei e Settecento : per uno studio preliminare delle citazioni ambrosiane nell'omiletica rutena barocca

    The aim of this study is to investigate the reception of Ambrose in the writings of three Ukrainian baroque preachers, viz. Ioannikij Galjatovs’kyj, Antonij Radyvylovs’kyj and Dimitrij Rostovskij. The method that has been adopted in the presentation of the results of our survey can be outlined as follows. First, we focused on the thematic aspects of the process of reception, which generally fall into two categories: 1. Exegetical themes, based on motives drawn from the Scriptures; 2. Philosophical-doctrinal themes. Furthermore, for all the writers which we examined we tried to determine whether an author made a direct or indirect usage of Ambrose’s oeuvre. Indirect use is generally to be ascribed to the influence of either exegetic Comments on the Bible, such as those of Cornelius A Lapide and Didacus de Baeza, or of emblematic literature produced in the West, such as Hemannus Hugo’s Pia desideria (1624). A second question to be addressed is how the intellectual and ecclesiastical context of the Ukrainian lands, whose distinctive features were pluriconfessionalism and the close ties to Western Renaissance and Baroque, influenced our authors in the way they made use of Ambrose, especially as far as the relationship between Orthodoxy and Catholicism is concerned

    Il contributo esamina lo sviluppo della possibilità di esistenza di poeti e autori volgari (accanto e in competizione con i classici soprattutto latini)nelle opere di Dante antecedenti la Commedia. Quindi argomenta le ragioni per cui Dante, nella Commedia, si proclama poeta ma non si definisce mai autore (tale in particolare è Virgilio).The contribution considers the development of the possibility of existence of vulgar poets and authors (beside and in competition with the classics, mostly Latin) in Dante's works prior to the Comedy. Then it argues the reasons why Dante, in the Comedy, declares himself a poet but he never calls himself an author (such is particularly Virgil)

    The Shrinking Supply Chains of Information

    The development of Internet has revolutionized the businesses across the globe by streamlining their supply chain, thereby achieving substantial cost reduction. The concept of "agile and lean manufacturing", which brought in radical changes in manufacturing systems all over the world has its bearing on the development of open standards and efficient networking across the corporate houses. In this paper, we look how the learnings from manufacturing sector could be translated into the "information industry", so as to develop libraries for the next millennium. We develop the supply chain of information, extending right from the point of origin to the point of use, thereby identifying the non-value adding delays in the process. The model is illustrated, without loss of generality, through the example of a journal publication. The paper brings out a decision model for effective deployment of technology for minimising these delays. The various stumbling blocks in this re-engineering exercise along with possible ways of elimination are also discussed. The pro-active libraries, constrained by resource limitation, can achieve quantum jumps in development, if technology is judiciously deployed to eliminate the delays in the supply chain. The main objective of this work is to develop a working strategy for developing "agile" libraries that are quick and flexible, to respond to the changing needs of the end user. The paper also details the policy measures required for the effective implementation of the supply chain model

    Een duurzaam thuis: Over waarden in wonen

    Nederlandse volkshuisvesting draagt van oudsher bij aan een ’waardevolle‘ samenleving. Volkshuisvesting had oorspronkelijk als doel te voorzien in een gezonde woonsituatie voor iedereen en bij te dragen aan een maatschappij waarin kwetsbare groepen middenin de samenleving leven. Dit streven kon lange tijd op breed politiek draagvlak rekenen. Met de introductie van marktwerking in de woonsector kwamen woningcorporaties en hun bijzondere positie tussen markt en overheid onder een vergrootglas te liggen. Het op economische efficiëntie gerichte denken kon niet uit de voetenmet deze vreemde organisaties die niet gericht zijn op winst maar op waarden. In plaats van de waarden expliciet te maken, werd geprobeerd onderscheid te maken tussen de op winst gerichte activiteiten van woningcorporaties en de activiteiten die het algemeen belang dienden. Dit artikel gaat in op de waarden in wonen die nu te vaak impliciet blijven, zoals rechtvaardigheid en duurzaamheid, en voorheen werden aangeduid met het begrip volkshuisvesting.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Housing Institutions & Governanc
