Article in FirstMonday on Privatizion, Digitization of Higher Education (sent to the SJSU SLIS list) I think everyone should take a look at this article in FirstMonday (an electronic journal) written by Michael Margolis, a political science prof at the University of Cincinatti. http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue3_5/margolis/index.html Some choice quotes: -"Marketing higher educational training as a commodity in the global economy presents an opportunity to reform the costly practices that hamper the international competitiveness of American universities.... The largest savings can be achieved through elimination of classroom lectures.... Higher educational training, however, is too important to leave it mainly in the control of the faculties of traditional institutions. Private corporations, which already offer universities a multitude of educational materials and services, will find it profitable to franchise courses themselves. ...American universities have underwritten scholarly projects for which funding from external sources has not been available, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. They have maintained elephantine research libraries and expensive computer centers, which members of the university community could access without charge... Fortunately, the Internet provides a solution that virtually eliminates costly libraries and computer centers. Digitized libraries, accessible through the Internet, offer the customer more volumes, periodicals and documents than any single university library could physically contain." Sam Trosow FirstMonday article _________________________________________________________________________ 4. BIS (Bibliotek i Samhälle) http://www.omtanken.se/bis/ http://www.omtanken.se/bis/eng.html (The following is from the website at the URL above) The Swedish association Bibliotek i Samhälle (short for "Libraries in Society") is from a socialist viewpoint working with issues of librarianship and culture - foremost through its periodical bis. The journal as well as the association was founded 1969. Since 1991 Bibliotek i Samhälle has supported the construction of a library/resource centre in the black township of Lingelihle, Cradock, in the rural parts of South Africa. Activities 1996: In March linked to our annual general meeting a seminar titled "For 40 million people" was held with Jenni Karlsson from our South African sister organisation LIWO as the main speaker on problems and challenges to libraries and information services in South Africa. One of our members is commissioned to investigate Internet & libraries in Sweden and Norway from a critical point of view. Her results will appear as # 2 of bis this year. Swedish development aid authorities will probably continue to use us and LIWO as counterparts to channel resources to development of libraries in South Africa. Our contacts with and financial support to Masizame Community Project in Lingelihle will definitely continue during 1996." Our publications are written in Swedish. There are some texts written in English: BiS' programme (published in Progressive Librarian # 5, 1992) and an article on BiS relationship to South Africa (in Scandinavian Public Library Quarterly 1995:3) _________________________________________________________________________ 5. Seaweed http://seaweed.ucg.ie/ This captivating site by Professor Michael D. Guiry of the National University of Ireland, Galway, contains a wealth of information and resources on seaweeds. The site includes Check-lists of the Seaweeds (Benthic Marine Algae) of Britain, Ireland and northern Europe; two bibliographic databases on seaweeds (including 17,500 scientific references from periodicals); an email discussion list (Algae-L); two fascinating sections on seaweed cultivation and the seaweed industry; a fully searchable taxonomic database of seaweeds; and links to related sites. Typical returns to the taxonomic database search query include Distribution, Type Locality, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Basionym, and Synonym. Although scant with visual images, this site is rich in every other dimension, and serves as an excellent resource to seaweed researchers and educators alike.

Its mandate is to study the relationship between social and economic development. This takes the form of multi-country research (with an emphasis on developing countries), as well as "action research" in the areas of "integrating gender into development planning and rebuilding war-torn societies." One of the highlights of the site is its War-Torn Societies Project, which contains a documents database with a searchable and browsable annotated bibliography of WSP collected literature.

This involves large groups of people hitting the refresh button on their browser, with the cache set to zero. A bunch of us are doing this on May 10th as a protest in support of the Zapatistas in Mexico. We've also developed a Java ping engine to give our protest more impact.

Flooding email servers with protest is one thing. But taking actions to effectively "muzzle" somebody's web site--even those with whom we disagree--is in my view an affont to the principle of free speech. Everybody has a right to get their message out. (I thought that's what we were fighting for.) Seth Horwitz - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm afraid you are confusing free speech with lack of action. If one uses the free speech argument over and over, the real content of the beautiful notion of free speech gets completely lost. An electronic sit-in is as good an action as a real life sit-in. The only problem i see is that far too few people will ever know what happened. So the ones involved should make sure they have some good press coverage.

Net Nanny Anecdote from Chuck0 Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 15:00:47 -0400 From: Chuck0 <chuck[at]tao.ca> Organization: Mid-Atlantic Infoshop MIME-Version: 1.0 To: librarians[at]tao.ca Subject: Net Nanny case Sender: owner-librarians[at]tao.ca Precedence: bulk As some of you know, I maintain an anti-filtering page (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/7382/index.html). I'm starting to get more queries from folks "in the trenches." Here's an interesting anecdote about Net Nanny. ====================== Subject: Net Nanny filter problems Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1998 20:32:15 PDT From: "Mandi Ohlin" <weird_web[at]hotmail.com> To: nofilters[at]geocities.com Hello, I'm currently working on an Honors paper about Internet censorship and stumbled onto your site. **applause** Thank you for maintaining such a well-thought-out site on censorware. I appreciate the time you took to keep this site so well maintained. Flattery/gratuitous sucking up aside, your case studies brought something to mind. I'm attending Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, and we had something of a filter problem last fall. The computers in the 24 hour student lab were all equipped with Net Nanny, and were connected directly to the campus network--so were in effect continually connected, and Net Nanny was continually watching over the system. I work at the computing help desk, and for the first month of the semester, a good portion of the calls were concerning getting around Net Nanny or getting it taken off. Interestingly enough, the problems most students were having had absolutely nothing to do with accessing Internet sites. When a student writing his term paper on child pornography tried to load it into Microsoft Word in the lab, Net Nanny shut MS Word down completely, and he was forced to reboot. He lost his entire paper. An Honors student was trying to write her paper on gender differences in the scientific community. One look at "gender," and Net Nanny shut it down. I was writing an e-mail to a friend, and the minute I typed the word "sex" (describing something about genetics a Biochem major had attempted to explain to me) Net Nanny again shut the program down. The software is now completely off the lab computers here for good. I don't know if that fits into your case studies. I do know that Net Nanny proved to be more trouble than it was worth. Just a mention.

Tobacco Use among US minority groups - Surgeon General pdf file _Tobacco Use Among US Racial/Ethnic Minority Groups_--USSG [.pdf, 332p.] http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/osh/sgr-minorities.htm US Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher has released this report (available in Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] format only), which details the dismaying news of a reversal in the trends of tobacco use by minorities, caused in the main by large increases in smoking by minority youth. This 24th Surgeon General report on tobacco use is the first that concentrates on minorities. The report details tobacco use among African-Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics. The report is accompanied by 84 tables and 22 figures. In addition to the report (which can be downloaded in its entirety or in sections), the site contains a press release, several fact sheets, and ordering information.

"The Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Web site breaks new ground because it reaches mainstream America using an innovative medium. In creating the site, we wanted to emphasize not only the accomplishments of Asian Pacific Americans but also the hardships endured by immigrants to this country," said Francey Lim Youngberg, Executive Director of APAICS. "We are grateful to ABC and Web designers Jimmy Chow and Wylie Eng for volunteering their time to design the Web site." "We are glad to be working on this project. As a business working to provide Asian-related businesses and organizations discounts on products and services, we see this as an extension of our commitment to the community. Enhancing the profile of Asian Pacific Americans and helping to build better connections between different segments of our community is very important to us," said Chin Yao, co-President of Asian Buying Consortium. Through June 1, Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com), the world's leading internet directory, will promote the new site with public service banners on the Yahoo! network. A. Magazine and AsianWeek contributed pictures and provided valuable advice to this project.

Since July 1, 1990, the Asian and Pacific Islander population has increased 35 percent, while the non-Hispanic White population grew 3 percent. http://www.census.gov/population/estimates/nation/intfile3-1.txt The nation's Asian and Pacific Islander population is young, with an estimated median age on February 1, 1998, of 31.1 years more than 6 years younger than the median for the non-Hispanic White population. http://www.census.gov/population/estimates/nation/intfile3-1.txt According to middle-series population projections, the nation's Asian and Pacific Islander population is expected to grow to more than 11 million and represent 4.1 percent of the total population by the turn of the century. By the middle of the next century, it is expected to reach 34 million and comprise 9 percent of the nation's total population. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb96-36.html In 1996, 55.4 percent of the nation's Asians and Pacific Islanders lived in the West and 94.2 percent resided in metro areas (49.5 percent in suburbs, 44.7 percent in central cities). http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html Ten states had 200,000 or more Asian and Pacific Islander residents as of July 1, 1996: California (3.7 million, or nearly 40 percent of the U.S. total), New York (920,000), Hawaii (750,000), Texas (500,000), New Jersey (400,000), Illinois (370,000), Washington (300,000), Florida (250,000), Virginia (220,000) and Massachusetts (200,000). http://www.census.gov/population/estimates/state/srh/srhus96.txt The two states where Asians and Pacific Islanders made up the greatest percentage of the July 1, 1996, population were Hawaii (63 percent) and California (12 percent). http://www.census.gov/population/estimates/state/srh/srhus96.txt Six of the 10 counties with the highest number of Asian and Pacific Islander residents on July 1, 1996, were located in California.

The corresponding proportions for Whites were 83 percent and 25 percent. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html Nearly one-seventh of the 32,000 doctorates awarded by U.S. universities in 1995 were conferred on non-Hispanic Asians and Pacific Islanders. This racial group also accounted for roughly one-third of the doctorates awarded in engineering and one-quarter of those conferred in the physical sciences (astronomy, physics and chemistry) and mathematics. (The universe does not include students with temporary visas.) http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb97-199.html Income and Poverty In 1996, Asians and Pacific Islanders had the highest median household income ($43,276) among all race and Hispanic origin groups in the United States. After adjusting for inflation, their income remained statistically unchanged from 1995 levels. Although Asians and Pacific Islanders as a group had the highest median household income in 1996, their income per household member was not statistically different from that of White households. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb97-162.html The poverty rate for Asians and Pacific Islanders in 1996 was 14.5 percent, also statistically unchanged from 1995. The rate was lower for non-Hispanic Whites (8.6 percent) but higher for African Americans (28.4 percent) and Hispanics (29.4 percent).

For men, this was the most common occupational category while for women, it was second to technical, sales and administrative support jobs, where 38 percent worked. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html Coming to America In 1997, the nation's total foreign-born population numbered 25.8 million, of which 24 percent were Asians and Pacific Islanders. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb98-57.html Asians and Pacific Islanders born in this country represented 1.6 percent of the nation's native-born population in 1997. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb98-57.html As of 1997, 6 in 10 Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States were foreign-born. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb98-57.html Families In 1996, there were 2.1 million Asian and Pacific Islander families in the United States, 8 in 10 of them married-couple families. Asian and Pacific Islander families are large: 22 percent had five or more persons, compared with 11 percent of non-Hispanic White families. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html Eight in 10 Asian and Pacific Islander children lived with both parents in 1996. Fewer than 7 in 10 children of all races did so. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html In 1997, married couples with children comprised 34 percent of the nation's Asian and Pacific Islander households. Married couples without children constituted 24 percent while persons living alone made up 19 percent. The rest of the households consisted of people in other types of living arrangements. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html In 1997, 62 percent of the nation's Asians and Pacific Islanders age 18 and over were married, 29 percent had never married, 5 percent each were divorced and widowed and 2 percent were separated. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/api.html Languages Spoken Between 1980 and 1995, the number of registrations in Japanese courses at U.S. colleges and universities quadrupled, from 11,500 to 44,700, while the number in Chinese courses more than doubled, from 11,400 to 26,500. Consequently, Japanese is now the fourth most popular foreign language course in U.S. colleges; Chinese is sixth. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb97-199.html As of 1992, Chinese was tied with German as the third most common foreign language in which the nation's 17 million small businesses can conduct transactions: 2 percent can conduct them in Chinese. The leaders are Spanish and French. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb97-182.html>; Businesses The number of businesses in the United States owned by Asians and Pacific Islanders increased 56 percent between 1987 and 1992, from 386,291 to 603,426. Receipts generated by these businesses increased 163 percent, from $36.5 billion to $96.0 billion. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb96-127.html Among Asian and Pacific Islander groups, persons of Chinese origin owned the most U.S. firms in 1992 (153,096), followed by those of Korean origin (104,918) and those of Asian Indian origin (93,340). http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb96-127.html The preceding facts come from the Current Population Survey, the Statistical Abstract of the United States, population estimates and projections, the Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises and the Characteristics of Business Owners Survey.
