DiscoverArchive: System Engineering Management Project
No full textFinal report from Vanderbilt University ENGM 273 student group.DiscoverArchive within Vanderbilt University’s Library system currently exists in a very basic implementation that does not necessarily encourage the fundamental purpose of the archive. This purpose is to gather and publish to a common, openly accessible online database any and all faculty and student generated research produced at Vanderbilt University. The intent of this database is to allow anyone free access to the knowledge produced in this academic and research driven environment in an effort to further the combined knowledge of the academic world.
While the aims of the system are in accordance with the founding principles of the open access movement, the reality is that the current implementation of the system is far too rudimentary to handle the volume of data that would be generated by a University wide mandate to publish to the database. In its current state, the archive relies almost entirely on the efforts of Ronee Francis, Manager of Digital Archives at Vanderbilt, to go out and search for research documents and professors to include in the archive. Once she finds a viable document, she contacts both author and publisher to obtain permissions to add it to the archive, and if those are granted she fills out a non-exclusive Vanderbilt license that is uploaded to the archive along with the PDF of the document. If documents do not exist in digital form they must first be scanned by library staff. It is easy to see that this existing methodology can only handle so much data because of the amount of time that the few people involved must spend preparing each document.Jean and Alexander Heard Librar
Mary Brunson Heard Collection - Accession 1612 - M792 (849)
No full textThis collection consists of material collected by 1911 Winthrop Alumnae, Mary S. Brunson Heard (1891-1975). The collection consists of the November 1907 and January 1911 Winthrop Journal, a letter regarding an invitation to the Senior Dance by a Mr. Baker written on Winthrop Literary Society letterhead, a Senior English composition paper titled, “Henry Griswold’s Old Home,” Senior Astronomy list, and, of particular interest are the three typescript copies of poet Anna Peyre Shackelford Dinnies reminiscence or diary of her trip from New Orleans, LA to Charleston, SC in 1851. The reminiscence would be of interest to anyone interested in researching pre-Civil War South. Anna Peyre Shackelford Dinnies (1805-1886) was a South Carolina native (Georgetown, SC) and was the daughter of Judge William Frederick Shackelford. Anna was poet and writer who often used the pen name Moina. She received her education at the Female Seminary of the Miss Ramsays (daughters of author and historian Dr. David Ramsay) in Charleston, SC. She married Dr. John Clifford Dinnies (1806-1884) in 1830 and the couple later relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana. After twenty years away she took a trip to visit her family in Charleston in 1851. She detailed her experiences on her trip with her daughter Grace Louise Dinnies Smith (1835-1854) in her essay titled, “Notes of My Trip to South Carolina in 1851.” Mary Brunson Heard transcribed the diary which was in the possession of Mrs. Boykin.
The author discusses in detail her experiences traveling through Georgia and South Carolina while describing the people and places she came across and her impressions of each. She did not have a high opinion on the Georgians she met and described them as “rude and uncultivated in manner, coarse in appearance, and rowdy in habits,” but she was thoroughly impressed by Stone Mountain describing it as “striking,” a “wonder”, and “stands alone upon the Earth.”https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/2747/thumbnail.jp

Birds I wouldn't have heard
No full textBirds I wouldn't have heard is a 90-minute multichannel video and sound installation created for Science Gallery London in 2019 with materials collected as part of the Transplant and Life project at the Hunterian Museum in 2017. My collaborative partner Tim Wainwright died from pancreatic cancer shortly after we were commissioned, and I completed the work after discussions with him in his final days.
This work conveys the impact of disease and organ transplantation on the daily lives and identity of recipients, live donors, and those on the waiting list. It weaves still and moving images, voice and field recordings to explore the breadth and depth of emotions and experiences encountered while the artists were in-residence at the Royal Free and Harefield Hospitals, both world-leading centres for organ transplants

'Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Dave': How Far is the Conservative Party's Revival All Down to David Cameron ?
No full textWhile one can overstate the extent to which the Conservative party has changed since 2005, especially in the light of its response to the recession, the upturn in its electoral prospects is undeniable. Not surprisingly, the Conservative leader, David Cameron, is widely credited with turning around his party's fortunes. In fact, he started with several advantages over his predecessors: New Labour was well past its prime; the economy was running into trouble; and an increasingly desperate Conservative party was more willing to listen to the message that it needed to modernise and moderate. That said, Cameron has been crucial. His communication skills are unparalleled. Early success bought him time and ‘permission to be heard’. Most important though, has been his determination-despite media criticism-to stick with a staged strategy focused on conveying change and a move to the centre ground while at the same time reassuring and dividing the Tory right
