Digitisation Perspectives - Review | Subject Centre for Information and Computer Sciences - 2 views

  •  
    Book Reviews Book title: Digitisation Perspectives Type: book Author: Ruth Rikowski Year: 2010 Edition: 1st ISBN: 9460912982 Publisher: Sense Publishers Publisher's Description: This book examines various views and perspectives on digitisation. As Simon Tanner, Director Digital Consultancy, King's College London says in the Foreword: "Digitisation has become a cultural, scholastic, economic and political imperative and raises many issues for our consideration." Furthermore, that the book: "...seeks to address and answer some of the big questions of digitisation... It succeeds on many levels..." There are 22 contributors in the book, all experts in their fields. The book is divided into six parts: Part 1: 'Background and Overview to Digitisation and Digital Libraries' Part 2: 'Digitisation and Higher Education' Part 3: 'Digitisation and Inequalities' Part 4: 'Digital Libraries, Reference Services and Citation Indexing' Part 5: 'Digitisation of Rare, Valued and Scholarly Works' Part 6: 'Futuristic Developments of Digitisation' Topics covered include electronic theses, search engine technology, digitisation in Africa, citation indexing, reference services, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, new media and scholarly publishing. The final chapter explores virtual libraries, and poses some interesting questions for possible futures. The book will be of particular interest to information professionals, educators, librarians, academics and I.T. and knowledge experts. Ruth Rikowski concludes by indicating that: "...hopefully, the book will provide a source of inspiration for further research, leading to some more effective ways to proceed with the digitisation process. Also, that it will be possible to do this within a framework that can be used for good rather than ill, and for the benefit of many." Reviewer: Eric Jukes (Formerly of College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London) Book Rating: 5/5 Buy this book from Amazon  Review Summary

Brown - 17 views

  • We need to see the way documents have served not simply to write, but also to underwrite social interactions; not simply to communicate, but also to coordinate social practices
  • new forms of document allowed new forms of community
  • These groups can look surprisingly like modern equivalents of the scholarly communities that formed throughout the world in the Renaissance
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The role of documents in linking people
  • he importance of documents to the formation of communities.
  • document forms both old (like the newspaper) and relatively new (like the television program) have underwritten a sense of community among a disparate and dispersed group of people
  • Marginal notes, footnotes, and conventional commentaries are merely the clearest examples of the ways that writing continually provokes more writing and that texts provide context for each other
  • Indeed, writing on writing is both literally and metaphorically an important part of the way meaning is negotiated.
  • Annotation is a rich cultural practice which helps, if only by the density of comment attached,
  • he appearance of entire conventional books at Web sites now supports intertextual research and practices.
  • Almost every day a new site appears with searchable and downloadable texts. Some allow commentary, too.
  • More generally, creative use of new documents no longer involves direct challenges to old ones
  • Rather, these new forms appear to reinvigorate the old, extending their useful social life not ending it.
  • primary characteristic of documents is their mobility
  • Documents quickly pass beyond the reach and protection of their maker and have to fend for themselves.
