Understanding Copyright Law for Slavic,East European,and Eurasian Materials     

《Slavic & East European Information Resources》2013,14(1):75-101

ABSTRACT

In the last decade the issue of copyright has become more complex for Slavic and East European librarians for a number of reasons. Technological advances have led to new forms of publication and new options for document distribution, and have also had a major impact on intellectual property law in the U.S. and abroad. As the technical means for copying and distributing materials in various formats have increased, and as electronic resources comprise a steadily increasing proportion of the material used in libraries, copyright law has become more integral to the work of librarians. In the background of technological progress, the newly independent states which emerged after the dissolution of Communism have all adopted new copyright laws within the context of global developments in intellectual property legislation. This paper provides a context for copyright as it relates to the work of Slavic and East European librarians in the U.S., by offering a framework for understanding the main issues surrounding copyright and a method for approaching questions related to copyright protection of library materials. The emphasis of this article is on use by U.S. libraries of textual material created or published in Slavic and East European countries.  相似文献

Abstract

Using as a basis Kuhn's theory of the structure of scientific revolutions, and the paradoxes and post-modernity of Lyotard, the article explores the impacts of cyberspace on map libraries in Europe. Special attention is paid to how this may affect cartographic expression, and to the potential use of digital data in map libraries.  相似文献   

The Bologna Process Offers New Research Opportunities for Academic Business Librarians Worldwide     

Harold Gee  Rita Ormsby 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2013,18(1):67-84

European education ministers and officials signed a Bologna Declaration with a goal to reform, strengthen, and standardize higher education programs and degree structures by 2010. Graduates will become more mobile and marketable to employers throughout Europe. These programs shall also attract students worldwide. Higher education programs on other continents have taken notice and are in the process of initiating similar goals and outcomes. All of these events are creating new research opportunities for academic business librarians in all aspects of library support and services including collection development, reference, and instruction.  相似文献   

WHO NEEDS OR DELIVERS DIVERSITY TRAINING?     

《Journalism Practice》2013,7(3):300-313

This article engages with key questions concerning diversity training issues and trends related to media professionals in contemporary Europe. It draws on interviews with 68 senior journalists and media professionals working in six Member States of the European Union. The study on which this article is based included interview questions on four aspects of ethno-cultural diversity in European media (content, recruitment, newsmaking and training), for which interviewees were asked to comment generally and in respect of their own media organisations. This particular article focuses on responses given to questions about diversity training. On the whole, our research finds considerable variation across Member States in terms of opportunities provided for diversity training yet also that interviewees (in the main) are broadly supportive of it, if somewhat hesitant about its implementation and likely effects.

Gender and age inequalities in regular sports participation: A cross-national study of 25 European countries     

Charlotte Van Tuyckom  Jeroen Scheerder  Piet Bracke 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(10):1077-1084

Abstract

This article provides a unique opportunity to compare gender inequalities in sports participation across Europe, and the extent to which this varies by age using large, cross-sections of the population. The Eurobarometer Survey 62.0 (carried out in 2004 at the request of the European Commission and covering the adult population of 25 European member states, N = 23,909) was used to analyse differences in regular sports participation by gender and by age in the different countries. For the majority of countries, the occurrence of regular sporting activity was less than 40%. Additionally, binary logistic regression analyses identified significant gender differences in sports participation in 12 countries. In Belgium, France, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Spain, and the UK, men were more likely to report being regularly active in sports than women, whereas in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands the opposite was true. Moreover, the extent to which these gender inequalities differ by age varies considerably across countries. The results imply that: (i) in some European countries more efforts must be undertaken to promote the original goals of the Sport for All Charter, and (ii) to achieve more female participation in sports will require different policy responses in the diverse European member states.  相似文献   

Market accountability in schools: policy reforms in England,Germany, France and Italy     

Paola Mattei 《牛津教育评论》2013,39(3):247-266

This article concentrates on the policy reforms of schools in England, Germany, France and Italy, from 1988 to 2009, with a focus on the introduction of market accountability. Pressing demands for organisational change in schools, shaped by the objectives of ‘efficiency’ and competition, which were introduced in England in the 1980s, have been adopted in other European countries, albeit at a slower pace and within the continuing need for domestic institutional conformity. How does the increasing predominance of market accountability in state schools change traditional bureaucratic and professional accountability relationships between politicians, managers, professionals and users? The article argues that despite some evidence of convergence between different education systems, England remains the outlier and continental European countries have been much more reluctant to adopt choice and competition policies.  相似文献   

从1968年捷克斯洛伐克事件看英国的东欧外交     

申红果 《廊坊师范学院学报》2013,(6):72-76

1968年的捷克斯洛伐克事件是冷战走向缓和过程中的重要事件,也是东西方关系中的重大事件。在这次事件中,英国确定并坚持了“鼓励但不干预”的基本原则,也执行了不趁机离间东欧国家与苏联关系、不单独对抗苏联的政策。英国的东欧外交具有比较明显的双重性,即一方面很大程度上取决于英国的对苏政策,另一方面又具有一定的独立性。英国在冷战期间始终保持着与东欧国家的交往,以期从长远促进东欧国家的社会变革。在与东欧国家交往时,英国也十分重视西方联盟的团结。  相似文献
