Abstract

The library literature provides numerous accounts of the efforts made in libraries ‐ particularly academic libraries ‐ to develop a formula for allocating the materials budget. Explains how, at the University of Arizona, a group of librarians responsible for information resources development and preservation took on the task of leading the library in all the activities associated with collection development. The design of a strategy for allocating the information access budget based on data regarding the needs of the library users is a crucial portion of this assignment. The resulting information will be used to guide the budget allocation process. Describes the steps involved in the first phase of the project and summarizes the plan for the next two phases.

Abstract

Introduces literacy as the key to women having equal participation in development and decision making processes. Discusses the ways literacy is linked to power and goes on to highlight three social macro functions of literacy which reflect inequality, the identification of literacy, conservation of history and the construction of literacy. Concludes that through changes in these areas power can be redefined and distributed more equally.

Abstract

PREVI, Spanish initials for “experimental housing project”, was conceived in Lima in 1967. Among other initiatives, it launched an international architectural competition that led to the construction of a 500-unit compound based on proposals put forward by teams such as Atelier 5, Aldo van Eyck, and Íñiguez de Ozoño and Vázquez de Castro. The forty years that have lapsed in the interim and the ongoing transformation of the homes by their dwellers afford an opportunity to reflect on the suitability of the construction technologies proposed in the competition.

Ongoing growth and the rationalisation of construction methods were two of the basic premises underlying the competition. The remodelling that has taken place in the interim stands as proof of the success of the first premise, but the use of traditional techniques to build the additions calls some of the most sophisticated proposals for industrialisation into question.

At the time, the tendency was to rely on large-scale industrialisation, as can be seen in the German and Polish architects' proposals. Nonetheless, many of the PREVI proposals opted for rationalising construction and precasting short series of small elements, rather than huge three-dimensional members. In the situation presently prevailing in Latin America, the viability of some of the technological proposals deployed in the PREVI might be profitably revisited.

Abstract

With a global recession impacting employers in most industrialised nations, the management of most large organisations has been forced to trim the number of workers, reduce benefits and in some cases, eliminate entire divisions of their company. A surprising survivor during this difficult period is employer‐provided day care, a relatively new employment benefit that emerged just within the past two decades.

Abstract

Few issues in recent times have so provoked debate and dissention within the library field as has the concept of fees for user services. The issue has aroused the passions of our profession precisely because its roots and implications extend far beyond the confines of just one service discipline. Its reflection is mirrored in national debates about the proper spheres of the public and private sectors—in matters of information generation and distribution, certainly, but in a host of other social ramifications as well, amounting virtually to a debate about the most basic values which we have long assumed to constitute the very framework of our democratic and humanistic society.

Abstract

The decade of the 1980s was unique for the sheer quantity of education reform reports and legislation. Virtually every state enacted education reform legislation, including reforms of teacher education, licensing, and comprehension. According to Darling‐Hammond and Berry, over 1,000 pieces of legislation related to teachers have been drafted since 1980, and “a substantial fraction have been implemented.” As I discussed in my 1989 RSR article, “Five Years after A Nation at Risk: An Annotated Bibliography,” two waves of 1980s reform reports were identified in the enormous body of primary and secondary literature dealing with education reform. The reform publications of the early 1980s stressed improvements in curricular standards, student performance outcomes, and changes to the education programs, such as salary increases, teacher testing, and stricter certification requirements. The second‐wave reform publications emphasized more complex issues centered around the concepts of restructuring the schools and teacher education programs, as well as empowering teachers to become more involved in curriculum and governance issues.

Abstract

Awareness of the integral and necessary relationship between collection management and development and preservation programs has been increasing in recent years. At long last, collection managers and preservation specialists have begun to work together more closely and to identify areas of common concern.

Abstract

This paper is confined to an overview on the disciplinary and appeal procedures contained in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The paper will not deal with market abuse, civil remedies, intervention or criminal prosecutions. It will, however, deal with discipline procedure and the appeal process. It is important to remember, when reading this paper, that the financial services industry still awaits the publication of the draft Enforcement, draft Supervision and draft Authorisation Manuals. The current expected publication date is August 2000. In addition, it is necesssary to distinguish between disciplinary measures affecting individuals and measures affecting businesses. This paper adopts the definitions in the Act and so the use of ‘authorised person’ refers to a business entity, and the use of ‘approved person’ refers to an individual. [Editor's note: A few days after this paper was written the draft Enforcement manual was published. The manual can be viewed at www.fsa.gov.uk.]
