National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC), Celebrating Fifty Years, 1959-2009, Library of Congress. Jay Hyland, an archivist at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee says, "the NUCMC project has enabled us to display catalog records of many of our archival collections worldwide at a faster rate than if we had tried posting catalog records on our own.
Also, the association with the Library of Congress helps give further credence to the Museum and shows that we are serious about collecting materials.

ISBD(ER): International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources.
Continued 0. Preliminary Notes 0.1 Scope, purpose and use 0.1.1 Scope The International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources - referred to hereinafter as the ISBD(ER) -specifies the requirements for the description and identification of such items, assigns an order to the elements of the description, and specifies a system of punctuation for the description. Its provisions relate first to the bibliographic records produced by national bibliographic agencies (in issues of the printed national bibliography, in other printed records, and associated computer-readable data resources) and second to bibliographic records of other cataloguing agencies, whether in electronic or printed form.
Electronic resources consist of materials that are computer-controlled, including materials that require the use of a peripheral (e.g. a CD-ROM player) attached to a computer; the items may or may not be used in the interactive mode. ISBD(ER) is one of several published ISBDs. 0.1.3 Use. Www.ifla.org/files/cataloguing/isbd/isbd-frbr-mapping.pdf. Dewey Decimal Classification | gjportal | global-journals-research-portal.

Back to main page TAM / IUOMA Started on: 29-8-1995 RJ : Welcome to this mail-interview. First let me ask you the traditional question. When did you get involved in the mail-art network? Reply on 4-10-1995 JH : It is hard to remember exactly when I did get involved in the mail-art network. I remember visiting with Ulises Carrion & Aart in Amsterdam, working with them on a Stamp Art Catalog -- and talking for hours about everything for days.
I met Cavellini at the ArteFiera in Bologna, and other people involved with Cavellini -- and perhaps with that opening when CCavellini sent me everything he had published, his roundtrips (of which I have many), postcards, stickers, stamps, etc. , and since I speak Italian, it was an easy friendship. But Ken Friedman had also told me about the Network in the early 1970's and I guess I was involved with that early on-as part of the Fluxus movement. RJ : How did you become interested in Umbrellas?

Private individuals, institutions, both public and private, and governments of all levels may establish archives.
Almost every Provincial government in Canada has enacted legislation to explicitly establish a Provincial Archives. This legislation varies dramatically in scope and complexity, however. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to examine the Provincial and Territorial legislation in light of the UNESCO Draft Model Law on Archives. Specifically, it will focus on two areas: administrative structure and the scope of the collections as mandated by the respective statutes. It will also briefly examine the relationship between archival and records management provisions. Despite its significance, there is a paucity of literature on the legal basis of Canadian archives. Lewis H. Thomas also finds that the provisions for records management vary dramatically throughout the country, particularly in those provinces lacking formal statutory authority. Copyright 101 -- A Primer for Genealogists.
Copyright 101: A Primer for Genealogists With the explosive growth of the World Wide Web in recent years, it has become possible for virtually anyone to publish anything at little or no cost. This has, in turn, led to much concern about the state of copyright law and the rights of the person or organization that originally created the material. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to discuss some of the provisions of Canadian copyright law and why they are important to genealogists. It is necessary, first of all, to look very briefly at how the Canadian legal system works. Most people are familiar with Statute Law. The common law is found in the body of judicial decisions rendered over time that together interpret and explain the statute law. The Copyright Act is fairly clear as to the existence of creator's rights. The sections of the Copyright Act that is most relevant to genealogists and other researchers are those concerning the "fair use" provisions.
Notes R.S.C. 1985, c. Published Legal Sources for Genealogists. While most experienced genealogists are familiar with the value of original court records, few are aware of the value of published case reports. Court records contain much valuable genealogical information but they are often not readily accessible, they are usually unindexed, the case files may be incomplete, or, worst of all, they may not have been preserved for a particular county or jurisdiction. Published law reports can help fill this void. Like most records used by genealogists, they were originally created for other purposes but can be made to yield their genealogical information to the dedicated researcher. The main benefits of using published records is that they are completely indexed and readily available. The principle drawback is that the presentation of facts is often very brief as it takes second place to the presentation of legal principles.
So, the community (or sometimes even the county) of residence of the parties may not be specified. Annapolis County: 1. 2a. 2b. 2c. Self-Represented Litigants and the U of A Law Library.

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of the University of Alberta law library by members of the general public. Statistics on the volume of queries to the reference desk by public users were analysed.
It was found that, despite the dramatic rise in the number of lawsuits brought by individuals acting on their own behalf, the number of people using the University law library to undertake research has actually declined. Introduction There is no “public” law library in Edmonton. The Edmonton Public Library collects only the most basic legal materials (i.e. Another significant barrier is the public librarian's lack of subject knowledge. There is consequently a need for more information about where and how laypersons search for legal information. Review of Related Literature The study referred to above is Allen.

Balas This month's theme of Making the Most of What You Have often leads to following the "do-it-yourself" approach. The phrase "do-it-yourself" brings a number of pictures and images to mind. I see a young child insisting loudly, "I can do it myself. " I also think of library patrons looking for do-it-yourself books and video materials on many subjects including landscaping, home remodeling, and automobile repair. Some choose the do-it-yourself route out of stubborn independence (the young child), while others choose it out of frugality (library patrons), but there are some who choose it because they have an innovative idea.
For librarians working with automated systems, it can be scary to embark on a do-it-yourself project. At the Monroeville Library, we selected an established vendor for our new automation system, but we did not follow the usual conventions in setting up our network.
