RT1_iconf08.doc: 34304 bytes, checksum: fdde7873f5b0c86ebc6c4dac2318c693 (MD5)In the United States, members of the iSchool group have received grants to develop education programs for information professionals to work with digital library collections, but have taken distinctly different approaches on how to package and offer their educational programs. Some of the schools have focused on independent certificate programs and still others on Master’s degree programs and post-Master’s degree programs.
In the rest of the world some very different approaches have been taken to providing education for digital librarianship. Many of the schools of information studies in Asia have integrated the course work on digital libraries into their existing information studies programs. While there is some evidence of integration of such courses in Africa and South America, it also appears that many schools in these regions have not yet included digital libraries as part of their established information studies programs. There are two distinct models in European education for digital librarianship. The most common approach is to follow the model of integration of education for digital librarianship into existing information studies programs. A second model follows the North American iSchool approach of maintaining separate programs for digital librarianship. There are only one or two programs in Europe that follow this separate program approach. One innovative example of the alternative program approach is the International Master’s in Digital Library Learning (DILL) which is a European Union funded consortium of three European Information Studies schools. This consortium provides specialized education on digital libraries at the “post-graduate” level in a two year Master’s Degree program with students recruited internationally. Students from North America are included in their recruitment program, as well as students from Asia, Africa, and South America. The program consists of four course modules offered over the two year DILL program. Currently a partnership with a North American iSchool is being explored to further the international aspects of the course of study.
The proposed roundtable discussion will invite representatives from iSchools in North America to discuss their digital library education programs and any international connections of their programs. One or more representatives from an international program of education for digital librarianship will summarize the status and nature of international planning for digital librarianship education. The roundtable discussion will be organized and led by Terry Weech, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with the assistance of Heather Moulaison, Rutgers University’s School of Communication, Information and Library Studies. Terry Weech has chaired the IFLA Standing Committee on Education and Training and conducted an international study of education for digital librarianship. He is currently involved in an international study of equivalency and reciprocity of qualifications for graduates of information study programs and is working with the International Master’s in Digital Library Learning (DILL) consortium to explore the possibility of expanding the consortium to North America. He also participated in the Morocco Digital Library Workshop on “Implementing a Maghreb Digital Library for Education, Science & Culture” Rabat, Morocco, 25-29 January, 2007, which was sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, UNESCO, and the Fulbright Academy of Science and Technology. Heather Moulaison has helped Moroccan contacts investigate the possibility of digital libraries as a knowledge management tool.Made available in DSpace on 2010-03-15T18:52:13Z (GMT).

"Disney is the Tiffany’s and I am the Woolworth's of the business": A critical re-analysis of the business philosophies, production values and studio practices of animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re-evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices.
Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk-averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions.
There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons. Rather, Terry‘s lack of risk taking, external locus of control, tight studio production schedule, desire to compete with neighbour studio Fleischer, difficulty in separating financial rewards from creative processes in animation, and practice of undertaking surveillance measures on staff may have undermined his and his studio‘s creativity. Archival research found Terry to possess strong passions for and to have made significant creative contributions to the field of animation.
Biographical research found that Terry retained a stable nucleus of highly talented artists who dedicated a significant portion of their working careers to the studio. An analysis of the cel aesthetics of a random sample of animated cartoons produced during the years 1930-1955 found that Terry created animated cartoons with above average cel aesthetics when compared to the other studios thereby supporting an inference that Terry was motivated to producing quality crafted animation. Further research is suggested into the role psychodynamic factors and economic decision-making play in the film production process and a clarification of Terry‘s legacy to the field of animated cartoons

Successful resource sharing in academic and research libraries in Illinois: Lessons for developing countries
No full textWith diminishing finances, it is rarely possible for a library or information center to have enough resources to fulfill the needs of its clients. Libraries working under effective collaborative initiatives in developed countries have registered tremendous success compared to libraries in developing countries. There is a growing need for libraries in developing countries to redefine their resource sharing strategies so as to benefit from library collaboration that can result in a more effective means of meeting the needs of their library users.
This thesis looks at issues surrounding the factors that have led to successful resource sharing among academic and research libraries in developed countries and how to practically apply such success factors to improve collaboration among academic and research libraries in developing countries. Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) and Consortium of Uganda University Libraries (CUUL) are the focus in this research.
Emphasis has been placed on the establishment of consortium leadership, the sharing of responsibility and decision making processes, sources of consortium funding, the role and responsibility of participating member libraries and their contributions to and expectations from the consortium.
Consortium leadership, the perceived need for cost effectiveness, quick and efficient delivery of library materials, electronic resources brokering, reciprocal borrowing, and shared integrated library system are key factors in providing a strong consortium framework. Consortium history, culture to volunteer, building trust in members, accountability, and innovativeness are necessary steps towards a successful library consortium.is peer reviewedSubmitted by Fredrick Lugya ([email protected]) on 2010-05-01T03:11:35Z
