  • Federal Depository Library Handbook
    US Government Printing Office Federal Depository Library Program Federal Depository Library Handbook Federal Depository Library Handbook US Government Printing Office Library Services & Content Management, Library Planning & Development 732 N. Capitol St. NW, Washington, DC 20401 202-512-1800 • 866-512-1800 • Fax 202-512-2104 [email protected] Text highlighted in yellow refers to legal and/or program requirements for depository libraries. Preface The Federal Depository Library Handbook (Handbook), describes requirements of Federal depository libraries, both legal and those prescribed by the Government Printing Office (GPO). Additionally the Handbook provides guidance to libraries on how they can meet the requirements of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). This information was previously found in two publications. Instructions to Depository Libraries contained the FDLP requirements while practical guidance for carrying out FDLP operations was in the Federal Depository Library Manual and its supplements. The Instructions and Manual are superseded by the Handbook. In accepting the privilege of Federal depository status for their libraries, directors agreed to abide by all the laws and requirements governing officially designated depository libraries. Recognizing this, chapter 2 of the Handbook outlines the legal requirements and each chapter of the Handbook includes a section for library administrators. These sections are also consolidated in Appendix C. Depository coordinators MUST ensure that all personnel involved in any aspect of depository operations are aware of the obligations of depository libraries and of the importance of the Handbook. Depository staff should review the Handbook on a regular basis and any questions can be directed to askGPO (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/help/index.html).

    TRANSPARENT CULTURES: IMAGINED USERS AND THE POLITICS OF SOFTWARE DESIGN (1975-2012) BY MICHAEL L. BLACK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Robert Markley, Chair Associate Professor Ted Underwood Associate Professor Melissa Littlefield Associate Professor Spencer Schaffner Associate Professor John T. Newcomb ii Abstract The rapid pace of software’s development poses serious challenges for any cultural history of computing. While digital media studies often sidestep historicism, this project asserts that computing’s messy, and often hidden, history can be studied using digital tools built to adapt text-mining strategies to the textuality of source code. My project examines the emergence of personal computing, a platform underlying much of digital media studies but that itself has received little attention outside of corporate histories. Using an archive of technical papers, professional journals, popular magazines, and science fiction, I trace the origin of design strategies that led to a largely instrumentalist view of personal computing and elevated “transparent design” to a privileged status. I then apply text-mining tools that I built with this historical context in mind to study source code critically, including those features of applications hidden by transparent design strategies. This project’s first three chapters examine how and why strategies of information hiding shaped consumer software design from the 1980s on. In Chapter 1, I analyze technical literature from the 1970s and 80s to show how cognitive psychologists and computer engineers developed an ideal of transparency that discouraged users from accessing information structures underlying personal computers.

  • Clustering and Ranking
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Archive - Università di Pisa Universita` degli Studi di Pisa Dipartimento di Informatica Dottorato di Ricerca in Informatica Ph.D. Thesis On Two Web IR Boosting Tools: Clustering and Ranking Antonino Gull`ı Supervisor Referee Prof. Paolo Ferragina Prof. Dino Pedreschi Referee Prof. Francesco Romani May 6, 2006 Abstract This thesis investigates several research problems which arise in modern Web Information Retrieval (WebIR). The Holy Grail of modern WebIR is to find a way to organize and to rank results so that the most “relevant” come first. The first break-through technique was the exploitation of the link structure of the Web graph in order to rank the result pages, using the well-known Pagerank and Hits algorithms. This link-analysis approaches have been improved and extended, but yet they seem to be insufficient inadequate to provide satisfying search experience. In many situations a flat list of ten search results is not enough, and the users might desire to have a larger number of search results grouped on-the-fly in folders of similar topics. In addition, the folders should be annotated with meaningful labels for rapid identification of the desired group of results. In other situations, users may have different search goals even when they express them with the same query. In this case the search results should be personalized according to the users’ on-line activities. In order to address this need, we will discuss the algorithmic ideas behind SnakeT, a hierarchical clustering meta-search engine which personalizes searches according to the clusters selected on-the-fly by users.
