Role Expectations in Public Digital Cultural Resources Integration Projects

AbstractA public digital cultural resources integration project involves the participation of multiple public cultural institutions, which must undertake different roles and accomplish the project’s missions through cooperation. In this study, we employed some concepts from the role expectation framework from role theory (including the designation and assignment of role expectations, and the designation and assignment of role functions), examined extant literature to obtain the roles of agents and their functions in a collaborative project, designed a role function system, and conducted interviews and a survey with workers in public cultural institutions. The results show that in China’s resources integration projects, there is stronger willingness for institutions to cooperate with institutions of similar administrative ranks; the institutions’ role expectations should be considered when assigning roles, and adequate roles should be given to each entity, with particular notice paid to mediation and coordination from third-party organizations; based on adequate role assignment, the role functions should be further detailed and elaborated at the start of the project.

This chapter explores how to construct bridges between existing cultural institutions and community archives (or community groups wanting to develop archives) and the potential role for third-party organizations in bridging these groups. Further, research is presented that provides recommendations for library and archive practitioners who wish to build connections with groups in their communities. Connecting with participatory heritage is introduced as a means to build capacity in community groups for sustaining efforts to preserve and make accessible diverse histories.

Resources Integration

AbstractIn recent years, stronger collaboration between China’s public cultural institutions had led to the creation of several public digital cultural resources integration projects, yet certain factors have still hindered the development of the digital integration. In this study, the potential impeding factors were found via literature research and interviews. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the opinions of employees at China’s public cultural institutions regarding these factors. It can be concluded from the survey that the barriers are the institutions’ lack of willingness and capacity to cooperate, segmented management systems, lack of management for the integration projects, intellectual property problems, insufficient policy support, lack of unified standards, lack of diverse sources of funding, and lack of awareness by governments and institutions. The solutions are also discussed.

True Mass

Sweeping across the social and political landscape of the northeastern United States during the late 1820s and early 1830s, the Antimasonic Party has earned a modest immortality as the first “third” party in American history. In pamphlets, speeches, sermons, protests, and other venues, Antimasons lambasted the fraternal order of Freemasonry as undemocratic, inegalitarian, and un-Christian, reviling it as a threat to the moral order and civic health of the Early Republic. Because they believed that the fraternal organization largely controlled all levels of government, antebellum Antimasons first created a social movement and then an independent political party. Even before the full emergence of modern mass democratic politics, Antimasons demonstrated the benefits of party organization, open national nominating conventions, and party platforms. Scholars with otherwise different perspectives on the “party period” tend to agree that Antimasonry had an important impact on what became the first true mass party organizations—the Jacksonian Democrats and the Whigs—and helped push the political culture in a more egalitarian and populist direction.

Organizational Information

This chapter suggests the use of comparative pairs analysis as a method of collecting data for inter-organizational information system and chain research. It is argued that chains of organizations can be analyzed by collecting data from a focal firm about upstream suppliers and downstream customers. By comparing pairs of respondents within the focal firm, the differences between customers and suppliers can be analyzed. In addition, it is suggested that by asking each respondent to discuss two third-party organizations, differences in responses can be highlighted and explained during the data collection process. This can provide a rich source of data to explain results obtained.

Selection Of

Despite the fact that over half of U.S. residents are now online, Internet users hesitate to enter into transactions with e-retailers in the absence of certain assurances. Recent IS research shows that institution-based assurance structures, such as Web seals, are drivers of online trust. We extend the research in online trust to include the effect of third-party organization (TPO) credibility on both Internet users’ perceptions of assurance structures and purchase risk. Findings indicate that TPO credibility is positively related to the value that Internet users assign to assurance structures and negatively related to perceptions of purchase risk. Furthermore, perceptions of TPO credibility are strongly associated with users’ trusting attitudes toward the e-retailer. For some online consumers, trust may have less to do with privacy and security and more to do with the reputation of the TPO. These findings have important implications for the design of Web sites, the selection of assurance providers and services, and the reputation of both e-retailers and providers.

This study examined college students' perceptions of different maternal employment-childrearing patterns: continuous employment after 6 weeks of maternity leave, interrupted employment until the child was in first grade, or nonemployment after the child's birth. Primarily Caucasian lower-middle-class volunteers ( n = 200) from a public university read a description of a mother who followed one of these patterns. Results showed that the mother who was continuously employed was rated as less communal and was less positively evaluated than either the mother who interrupted her employment or the nonemployed mother. Further, her child was expected to experience more negative outcomes than the children of either of the other two mothers. Discussion focuses on social role theory and college students' role expectations.
