This article provides a summary of and commentary on ‘A Lovely Kind of Madness: Small and Independent Publishing in Australia’,
an unpublished report by Kate Freeth, commissioned by the Small Press Underground Networking Community (SPUNC), the representative
body for small and independent publishers in Australia, and released in November 2007. Freeth’s 14,000 word report constitutes
the most detailed and comprehensive study of Australian small and independent publishing since the second volume of Michael
Denholm’s Small Press Publishing in Australia (1991) and provides much primary material for policy makers, scholars, and people working in and around the publishing industry.

A comparison of analyses of the Scottish publishing industry carried out in 1992, 2002 and 2007 underscores the fragility
of the sector within a small country within the English-language community. A number of indices reveal either stability or
stagnation and the picture emerges of the remarkable tenacity of publishing in Scotland. Although there is already a significant
and vital element of state support for publishing in Scotland, further intervention will be necessary to ensure fulfilment
of its potential.

Curious Archives examines the creation of the museum of archives, the Musée de l’Histoire de France, at the Imperial Archives
of France under the direction of Leon de Laborde, 1858–1867. This museum was intended as a crucial tool for publicizing the
Archives and educating the public, but also represented a break from the Archives’ role as administrative storehouse both
in practice and in the popular imagination. The museum’s conception and reception reveal conflicts around the Archives’ mission
and contents, particularly regarding public interest, the potential dangers of public curiosity, and nature of documentary
and historical knowledge in nineteenth-century France.

This article describes the first half century of the Communist government’s supervision and management of the central-government
archives of the last two dynasties. Immediately with the Communist ascent to power in 1949, the new government took great
interest in assembling and protecting the country’s archival documents, readying the Ming-Qing archives for access to scholars,
and preparing for publication of selected materials. By the 1980s Beijing’s Number One Historical Archives, in charge of the
largest holding of Ming-Qing documents, had become the first Chinese authority to complete a full sorting and preliminary
catalogues for such a collection. Moreover, to facilitate searches, an attempt has recently begun to create a subject-heading
system for these and other holdings in the country. In the first half century’s final decades, foreign researchers were admitted
for the first time and tours and international exchanges began to take place.

This paper reviews the archival process at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), a repository
of digital social science data, and maps ICPSR’s Ingest and Access operations to the Open Archival Information System (OAIS)
Reference Model. The paper also assesses ICPSR’s conformance with the archival responsibilities of “trusted” OAIS repositories,
with the proviso that audit criteria for archival certification are still under development. The ICPSR to OAIS mapping exercise
has benefits for the larger social science archiving community because it provides an interpretation of the reference model
in the quantitative social science environment and points to preservation-related issues that may be salient for other social
science archives. Building on the archives’ long tradition of shared norms and cooperation, we may ultimately be able to design
a federated system of trusted social science repositories that provides access to the global heritage.

World Book and Copyright Day was established by a resolution of the 28th General Council of UNESCO in 1995. Its avowed aim
was ‘to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people,
to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered
the social and cultural progress of humanity.’ This article examines the context for World Book and Copyright Day, the extent
to which cultural and commercial interests have converged in the activities of the day and argues that an analysis of the
activities of the day reveal a specifically European attitude to book culture.

Through a reading of the archived letters of Henry Garnet (1555–1606), Superior of the Jesuit order in England and suspected
Gunpowder plotter, this article investigates the nature of the archive in relation to narrative theory. Figuring the archive
as one of the number of narrating voices accrued by the individual record, I argue that models of communication such as those
put forward by Roman Jakobson, Wayne C. Booth and Seymour Chatman afford useful insights into the ways in which power is inscribed
and reinscribed in the record through successive acts of reading and rewriting.

This paper describes a computer-supported learning system to teach students the principles and concepts of Fuzzy Information
Retrieval Systems based on weighted queries. This tool is used to support the teacher’s activity in the degree course Information Retrieval Systems Based on Artificial Intelligence at the Faculty of Library and Information Sciences at the University of Granada. Learning of languages of weighted queries
in Fuzzy Information Retrieval Systems is complex because it is very difficult to understand the different semantics that
could be associated to the weights of queries together with their respective strategies of query evaluation. We have developed
and implemented this computer-supported education system because it allows to support the teacher’s activity in the classroom
to teach the use of weighted queries in FIRSs and it helps students to develop self-learning processes on the use of such
queries. We have evaluated the performance of its use in the learning process according to the students’ perceptions and their
results obtained in the course’s exams. We have observed that using this software tool the students learn better the management
of the weighted query languages and then their performance in the exams is improved.

On information retrieval metrics designed for evaluation with incomplete relevance assessments 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Modern information retrieval (IR) test collections have grown in size, but the available manpower for relevance assessments
has more or less remained constant. Hence, how to reliably evaluate and compare IR systems using incomplete relevance data, where many documents exist that were never examined by the relevance assessors, is receiving a lot of attention.
This article compares the robustness of IR metrics to incomplete relevance assessments, using four different sets of graded-relevance
test collections with submitted runs—the TREC 2003 and 2004 robust track data and the NTCIR-6 Japanese and Chinese IR data
from the crosslingual task. Following previous work, we artificially reduce the original relevance data to simulate IR evaluation
environments with extremely incomplete relevance data. We then investigate the effect of this reduction on discriminative power, which we define as the proportion of system pairs with a statistically significant difference for a given probability of
Type I Error, and on Kendall’s rank correlation, which reflects the overall resemblance of two system rankings according to two different metrics or two different relevance
data sets. According to these experiments, Q′, nDCG′ and AP′ proposed by Sakai are superior to bpref proposed by Buckley and
Voorhees and to Rank-Biased Precision proposed by Moffat and Zobel. We also point out some weaknesses of bpref and Rank-Biased
Precision by examining their formal definitions.

Collaborative Filtering (CF) Systems have been studied extensively for more than a decade to confront the “information overload”
problem. Nearest-neighbor CF is based either on similarities between users or between items, to form a neighborhood of users
or items, respectively. Recent research has tried to combine the two aforementioned approaches to improve effectiveness. Traditional
clustering approaches (k-means or hierarchical clustering) has been also used to speed up the recommendation process. In this paper, we use biclustering
to disclose this duality between users and items, by grouping them in both dimensions simultaneously. We propose a novel nearest-biclusters
algorithm, which uses a new similarity measure that achieves partial matching of users’ preferences. We apply nearest-biclusters
in combination with two different types of biclustering algorithms—Bimax and xMotif—for constant and coherent biclustering,
respectively. Extensive performance evaluation results in three real-life data sets are provided, which show that the proposed
method improves substantially the performance of the CF process.

On rank-based effectiveness measures and optimization 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Many current retrieval models and scoring functions contain free parameters which need to be set—ideally, optimized. The process
of optimization normally involves some training corpus of the usual document-query-relevance judgement type, and some choice
of measure that is to be optimized. The paper proposes a way to think about the process of exploring the space of parameter
values, and how moving around in this space might be expected to affect different measures. One result, concerning local optima,
is demonstrated for a range of rank-based evaluation measures.

Arabic documents that are available only in print continue to be ubiquitous and they can be scanned and subsequently OCR’ed
to ease their retrieval. This paper explores the effect of context-based OCR correction on the effectiveness of retrieving
Arabic OCR documents using different index terms. Different OCR correction techniques based on language modeling with different
correction abilities were tested on real OCR and synthetic OCR degradation. Results show that the reduction of word error
rates needs to pass a certain limit to get a noticeable effect on retrieval. If only moderate error reduction is available,
then using short character n-gram for retrieval without error correction is not a bad strategy. Word-based correction in conjunction
with language modeling had a statistically significant impact on retrieval even for character 3-grams, which are known to
be among the best index terms for OCR degraded Arabic text. Further, using a sufficiently large language model for correction
can minimize the need for morphologically sensitive error correction.

A questionnaire was circulated to librarians and learning support staff in all 109 UK universities asking how they were dealing
with material only available in print, accessing electronic copies of books for print-disabled students and whether they felt
a change in the law was required to make publishers take greater responsibility for accessibility issues. At the same time
publishers’ policies were retrieved and an interview was conducted with a senior manager at JISC TechDis, the disabilities
section of the Joint Information Systems Committee. Findings: While some publishers are going to considerable lengths to be
helpful, others are not, and many learning support staff are struggling, either through lack of time or finance or both, to
deliver the level of service they aspire to provide. An overwhelming majority of respondents to the questionnaire believe
on grounds of cost and morals that there should be a change in the law, either by way of amendment to existing legislation
or through the creation of a separate Act.
