ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SCAN: INCREASING ACCESS TO HISTORIC NEWSPAPERS
A one-day workshop to be held at Senate House, University of London, 12 July
2001
10.00am-4.00pm, with a wine reception 5.00-7.00pm
The workshop is sponsored by the British Library; the Institute for English
Studies; Olive Software; the Office for Humanities Communication, King's
College, London; the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford; the Joint
Information Systems Committee (JISC). Its aim is to present the results of
a unique pilot project in the digitization and delivery of historic
newspapers to a wider audience, and to discuss the implications of this
remarkable system for the preservation and presentation of similar materials
in UK HE, archives and public libraries.
Since January 2001, the British Library Newspaper Library, the Refugee
Studies Centre at Oxford University, OCLC, the Malibu Hybrid Library Project
at King's College London, and Olive Software have been working together to
produce a prototype system for the digitization, indexing, and presentation
of historic newspapers from the British Library Newspaper Library
collection. 18 reels of microfilm have been scanned, and some 500,000
newspaper articles indexed. Speakers will demonstrate the pilot project and
discuss the practical implications of the various technologies.
The workshop is free to all participants, who are also invited to a wine
reception afterwards.

The Seventh International ISKO Conference. Granada, Spain, 10-13
July, 2002. "Challenges in Knowledge Representation and
Organization for the 21st Century: Integration of Knowledge across
Boundaries." Call for papers.
The need for a worldwide communication system that can retrieve
information efficiently, regardless of national and cultural
boundaries, has become more and more pressing. New electronic
environments (such as the Internet, where the world is at hand,
where all cultures coexist, and where quality is low) have created
this need. These new environments provide significant challenges for
those dedicated to study and research on knowledge representation and
organization. Similarly, the digitalization of information is
responsible for increasing emphasis on the need for integrating models
of knowledge representation and organization. Digitalization allows a
huge amount of information to be stored and retrieved, and the
challenge is to develop models to improve the management of information in
this new framework. Traditional information retrieval
systems face similar problems because we lack retrieval tools designed
to integrate knowledge. In this situation, an in-depth examination of
the integration of knowledge across boundaries is warranted.
Study of the integration of knowledge leads to other important
topics.
One of these is the concept of universality. New insights into
universality needs to include topics geared to the revision of the
concept, such as how universality was previously understood in
knowledge organization, and what problems arose as a consequence of
this understanding. Further, we need to move to a consideration of the
concept of universality as it should be understood now, in the
electronic era. How can universality be represented in conceptual
structures? Integration of specialized knowledge across geographic or
cultural domains can be a way to address this unsolved problem.
Related to the same problem are topics such as how the integration of
knowledge affects different subject domains and users, linguistic
issues, and applications that support new models. In addition, we need
to look at equality in knowledge organization. This is an important
aspect for supranational systems, and it means that we need a special
focus on minorities so that we can represent them well in knowledge
structures. At the same time, professional ethics needs to be
reflected within this framework because knowledge organization affects
the way people think about and perceive reality, and minorities and
other similar groups may become invisible or wrongly conceptualized.
Professionals need to be aware of these issues and should be
attempting to solve these problems.

Faculty Satisfaction and Cost Effectiveness
You are invited to an online Seminar on Learning Effectiveness, Faculty
Satisfaction, and Cost Effectiveness July 20 - August 9. To see details
and to register for the seminar, visit Seminar: Learning Effectiveness,
Faculty Satisfaction, and Cost Effectiveness at
http://www.aln.org/seminar2001registration. The registration fee of $49.95
includes a copy of the book, Online Education, Volume 2: Learning
Effectiveness, Faculty Satisfaction and Cost Effectiveness, formal case
studies about new directions in online learning and program administration.
Pioneers in online education will lead the seminar. The seminar leaders
are from leading institutions in higher education, members of the Sloan
Consortium for asynchronous learning networks.
In September 2000, the Sloan Foundation sponsored an invitation-only
workshop at Lake George in upstate New York. Faculty and staff from
Sloan-funded projects studied issues affecting the evolution of higher
education online, according to the Sloan-C founding principles of effective
learning, student and faculty satisfaction, cost effectiveness and
increasing accessibility. It became clear that the workshop deserved a
wider audience.
Now, with the convenience of asynchronous online delivery, you can join an
invaluable conversation. Participation in the seminar is limited, so sign
up soon. Simply visit the Seminar Registration site
(http://www.aln.org/seminar2001registration) to preview the seminar topics
and register before July 20, 2001.
Please send your questions or comments to: janet.c.moore@vanderbilt.edu
We look forward to working with you for higher quality learning online.
