The principal author was Stephen Owens of the Governments Division. This report is the fifth in a series that constitutes a comprehensive evaluation of the public library statistics program carried out amually by the Federal State Cooperative System for Public Library Data (the FSCS). The FSCS membership consists of the Federal government (through the NCES), the state governments (generally through their respective state library agencies), and representatives from the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science and the American Library Association. The purposes of the comprehensive evaluation are several. One goal is to raise specific information collection issues for discussion among the participants in the FSCS and the professional libraq community in general. Another goal is to serve as a background for revising the FSCS classification structure. This evaluation is also intended to promote standard application of the classtication system by survey respondents. This report contributes to the comprehensive evaluation by providing reference information about the legal structure and organization of public libraries within the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Assistance from the many state library agencies, the FSCS liaisons in the states, and representatives from the American Library Association and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science is gratefully acknowledged. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . ...1 CHAPTER 1.

  • Environmental Policy, Municipalities and Intergovernmental Cooperation in Brazil Estela Maria Souza Costa Neves
    Environmental policy, municipalities and intergovernmental cooperation in Brazil ESTELA MARIA SOUZA COSTA NEVES FFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL policies are indispensable for the sus- tainability of long-term development for meeting both domestic chal- E lenges and the so-called global issues. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of environmental governance in Brazil through the exploratory analysis of the relationship between municipalities and envi- ronmental policy strategies developed by the Federal Government, from the perspective of the Brazilian federative state. The central argument presented herein holds that in Brazil, for an impor- tant number of topics on the environmental agenda, the success of the initiatives promoted by the federal government depends to some extent on the adhesion of municipalities. Since 1988, endowed with the status of federated entities and enjoying unprecedented autonomy, municipalities can contribute to the failure of federal initiatives by not subscribing to said initiatives, especially these require the exercise of their exclusive powers and the allocation of their own resources. Nationwide public policies promoted by central governments require the involvement of local government actors either to tailor policy objectives and regulations to local specificities, harmonize conflicting priorities, or optimize the use of increasingly scarcer public resources. The structure of intergovern- mental relations is a crucial factor for the success of public policies implemented at central level, especially the promotion of the mutual and enriching adaptation of national and local perspectives (Villanueva, 2000, p.40). The importance of the participation of local governments, however, is not restricted to the host of benefits pointed out in the literature about the ad- vantages of localized state action - such as increased efficiency, less corruption, promotion of direct democracy practices, greater social control, transparency and greater capacity to meet local specificities and preferences.

To Honor Our Past: Historical Research, Library History and the Historiographical Imperative: Conceptual Reflections and Exploratory Observations Jean-Pierre V. M. Hérubel HSSE, University Libraries, Purdue University Abstract: This exploratory discussion considers history of libraries, in its broadest context; moreover, it frames the entire enterprise of pursuing history as it relates to LIS in the context of doing history and of doing history vis-à-vis LIS. Is it valuable intellectually for LIS professionals to consider their own history, writing historically oriented research, and what is the nature of this research within the professionalization of LIS itself as both practice and discipline? Necessarily conceptual and offering theoretical insight, this discussion perforce tenders the idea that historiographical innovations and other disciplinary approaches and perspectives can invigorate library history beyond its current condition.
