Abstract

Through the results from part of a formative evaluation in England and Wales of the Integrated Children's System, the authors aim to illustrate the diverse ways in which policy, technology and practice interests challenge conventional assumptions regarding the construction and use of evidence in children's services. We identify four connected consequences of the ICS for practice. The ICS actively shapes practice, brings issues into focus, renders social work visible and distances the services user. We interpret the findings in terms of the persistence and diversification of professional discretion and the interplay of standardisation and case‐based practice. We challenge some accepted academic understandings of the relationship between technology and professional practice.

The British Tourist Authority and English Tourist Board are developing a unique library of digital images relating to tourism, digitised using Photo‐CD, stored in an object‐oriented database, and made accessible to overseas offices over an Intranet. Issues relating to copyright, security, and the efficient distribution of high‐resolution images have been considered in depth: other issues remain unresolved.

Abstract

At a recent conference called to present and launch an entirely new range of instrumentation for the measurement of colour and the assessment of colour difference, some interesting speeches were presented on the history and development of colour measuring in general and as applied to these instruments. The range was developed jointly by ICI Fibres Division, ICI Organics and Digico Ltd., although they are aimed at a wider range of industries for whom colour is an integral part of their production processes.

When looking at the possible ways of performing quality assurance or evaluation of materials in a non‐destructive manner, thermography rates as one of the key techniques available. This is because it offers several advantages, namely:

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to analyze user-generated comments posted on social media while live matches were being played during the Cricket World Cup 2015.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from Yahoo! Cricket (YC), a website that allows people to submit comments during live matches. The comments were qualitatively analyzed using the grounded theory approach.

Findings

The key finding of this paper is that people like to consume live sporting events in an online social setting rather than as isolated individuals. In addition, the use of the grounded theory approach helped uncover several new findings related to people’s use of social media during live matches.

Research limitations/implications

Since this paper studied the case of the Cricket World Cup 2015 and collected data from YC, caution is advocated in generalizing its findings.

Originality/value

Scholarly interest on the use of social media during live sporting events is growing. Building on such works, this paper highlights how user-generated comments posted during the Cricket World Cup 2015 – mostly by individuals within the Indian subcontinent – intersected with broader issues such as culture, identity, politics and religion.

Abstract

FROM TIME TO TIME librarians in public lending libraries hear their borrowers lamenting that they wish they could find books on the shelves like those written in the ‘Good Old Days’. By this it may be assumed that they are looking for a good story with no violence, no drugs, and no unsavoury bedroom scenes. One author who would have been able to help them in their search was Annie S. Swan. In fact today a Border bookseller has a collection of her books which he lends out to meet the huge demand. Requests come in from Woman's Guilds asking him to talk to them about her life and work.
