Abstract

The differences between urban and rural Internet capability have emerged as a very important issue in recent years. In Australia, the problem has been addressed partly, through providing support for public regional Internet Facilities such as Internet Cafes. The economic merits of public Internet facilities in regional and rural areas are well promoted. This study explores these economic benefits, as well as some very valuable social benefits not often recognised. An exploratory research design is employed and data from in‐depth interviews with four public Internet facilities is analysed. The study draws conclusions about the balance between economic and social issues in managing the Internet. These findings have implications for the future development of public regional Internet facilities.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this article is to explore how, and to what extent, American advertising and its consumerist messages infiltrated Irish society in the period 1922-1960.

Design/methodology/approach

The article is based on an analysis of primary and secondary sources.

Findings

The article argues that American advertising practices and messages influenced the advertising industry in Ireland. It also contributed to the technical, style and content of Irish advertising and informed the Irish woman's view of American consumerism. Finally, it suggests that Irish society was more open to external influences, which challenges the narrative of Ireland as a closed society before 1960.

Originality/value

The article is based on extensive original research and opens up a number of new areas of research relating to the history of consumerism and advertising in Ireland.

Abstract

Although library managers have acquired the conventional management skills, they remain undervalued as a profession. Using Drucker′s distinction between management development and manager development, argues that manager or self‐development is currently neglected in UK libraries, but is a prerequisite of the new management culture. Compares the position of library managers with that of women in business and suggests specific areas of self‐development training. Highlights the disparity between leadership training within libraries in the UK and the USA. Urges that only by focusing on self‐development will library managers be able to release their full potential and shape their environment.

Abstract

In this paper the commissioners of an evaluation and the researchers jointly review the relationship between research and service development at a local level in an evaluated health authority pilot project to introduce complementary therapies into primary care. The article discusses the importance of organisational arrangements between the research and the service development, focusing on the close working relationship between researchers and stakeholders in the research and corresponding service development. The relationship between the research and service development was not linear and the benefits were not based solely on outcomes of the treatment but also on the ways the evaluation gave insight into how the pilot service was delivered. Factors such as personal commitment to the project, and close working relationships by all concerned are important. These elements are rarely emphasised but have to be taken into account if evidence‐based health care is to achieve its potential.
