RESUMO Este artigo propõe uma reflexão crítica sobre os desafios documentários e tecnológicos relativos à conservação, digitalização, catalogação e difusão web de imagens a partir da experiência do projeto multidisciplinar Arquigrafia (www.arquigrafia.org.br). O Arquigrafia é desenvolvido como um ambiente colaborativo de compartilhamento de imagens na web, aberto a fotografias de acervos institucionais e também de coleções particulares de seus usuários. O artigo apresenta a necessidade de que esse conjunto informacional seja organizado e disponibilizado, bem como as especificidades da representação descritiva e temática para a recuperação eficaz do patrimônio digital. Além de questões relacionadas aos financiamentos dos projetos de digitalização dos acervos e preservação dos originais e arquivos digitais, o artigo discute a necessidade do estabelecimento de uma política pública, que incorpore as normas mais recentes e a metodologia mais adequada para o tratamento, organização e recuperação da informação, referente ao patrimônio digital que vem sendo gerado nas instituições de memória, como as bibliotecas, arquivos e museus das universidades públicas brasileiras.Palavras-chave: Imagem; Patrimônio Digital: Ambiente Colaborativo; Web.   ABSTRACT This paper  proposes a critical reflection on documental and technological challenges regarding conservation, digitization, cataloguing and web dissemination of images in the experience of the Arquigrafia multidisciplinary project (www.arquigrafia.org.br). Arquigrafia is a collaborative web image sharing environment open to photographic institutional archives and users' private collections. The need to organize and share this information set, as well as the specificities of descriptive and thematic representation for effective retrieval of this digital heritage are also presented. Besides the issues issues related to the financing of digitization projects of collections and the preservation of documents and digital files, this article discuss the need to establish a public policy that incorporates the latest standards and the most appropriate methodology for the treatment, organization and retrieval information concerning the digital heritage that has been produced by Brazilian public institutions such as university libraries, archives and museums.Keywords: Image; Digital Heritage; Collaborative Environment; Web.

Foreign Researcher

In 1982 Carol Dickerman and David Northrup published a useful article on Africa-related archives in Belgium. Their work was limited, however, to two public institutions in Brussels which, in the past 12 years, have moved and grown. What is needed now is a more up-to-date and comprehensive list of Belgian public and private collections with historical or ethnological archives concerning Africa.In Belgium such archives are unfortunately not grouped in one place, but are spread over a dozen public and private institutions according to their nature—diplomatic, military, religious, ethnological—or origin. Thus the foreign researcher who attempts to find these archives must often undertake trying adventures, and once they have succeeded, they still must obtain numerous authorizations to use reading rooms and to consult and photocopy documents. Thus this paper aims to list the different Belgian institutions with major archives, to indicate what is available in their collections, and to describe how to gain access, in the hope that foreign researchers will be able to benefit fully from the archival riches of Belgium.The Africa-related documents in Belgian archives and libraries mostly concern Central Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition, some collections are relevant to Belgian African politics in general and to Leopold II's expansionist aims in other parts of the continent.

ABSTRACTArchaeologists’ newfound ability to access vast digital collections creates opportunities but also presents challenges when those collections are from varied sources, including public institutions and private collectors. We illustrate these challenges by comparing two analyses of gender in Mimbres pottery images. Both analyses used the same procedures, but one included material in private collections, while the second drew on a smaller but more controlled sample. Gender distinctions and division of labor were revealed by the first analysis, but the results were not duplicated in the reanalysis using the controlled sample. We consider reasons for the difference, addressing how collectors’ interests may skew collections and suggesting that some particularly desirable Mimbres pottery designs were created using modern paint. The article concludes with recommendations for how archaeologists can best use mixed collections. These include considering how collections might be skewed and designing analyses to counterbalance likely issues, more chemical analyses with representative samples to gauge the extent of modern manipulation of Mimbres vessels, collecting data on the provenance (i.e., collection history) of material in order to try to trace the likelihood of post-excavation modifications, and studying the process of collecting as a means of understanding the authenticity of artifacts.

According to the U.S. Department of Education (1998- 1999), 78% of all four-year public institutions offer distance education courses. According to the same survey, 67% of all students at these institutions have enrolled in one of these courses. Are university libraries keeping up with the trend of distance education? What programs and policies are in place to ensure access to library services for Web-based learning students? Must services to distance learners be equal to services provided to traditional students? This article is structured as follows: First we discuss the strategy of building a creative learning environment based on the learning orientation model before prescribing some guidelines for personalized learning in a Web-based environment. Next we outline the basis for library distance education services, and describe two case studies of libraries that are ensuring that distance education students are receiving equal access to library materials.

Many Ottoman manuscripts can be found in national libraries, university libraries and private collections in Europe. One such library is that of the University of Cambridge in Britain. Turkish manuscripts in this library have been catalogued by E.G. Browne. After his death in 1926, Turkish manuscripts continued to be added to the collection of the Cambridge University Library but these were not catalogued. This article is an initial survey of the as yet un-catalogued Turkish manuscripts in the Cambridge University Library collection which it is hoped will be of use to researchers.

Abstract Brazil is experiencing a situation never before seen in terms of environmental destruction. The expansion of monocultures has increasingly destroyed nature and this also has an impact on the increase in land concentration, rural exodus, poverty and hunger in the countryside. Transgenics allowed the expansion of areas to regions previously not suitable for monoculture production, requiring less labor and more pesticides. Just to produce 68.1 million tons of soybeans, exported last year, it required a quantity of water that could supply 2.03 billion people worldwide. This is the deficit of Brazilian agribusiness that cannot be calculated. If we calculate the expenditures of the public health system as a result of the use of pesticides, this will prove to be increasingly unsustainable. Recently, researchers found amounts of glyphosate a hundred times above the safe limit for human consumption in a stock of wheat stored in a silo in southern Brazil. The official speech of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) of Brazil is that the record release of pesticides is necessary due to the country's tropical climate. Universities and public research institutes have an important responsibility at this time: to investigate this type of problem and to allow its results to be available to an increasingly critical publicity. Brazil is experiencing a context of clear attacks on public institutions by the current federal government, either with cuts in the transfer of economic resources, or with the scrapping and attempts to destroy its image before public opinion. It is necessary to promote the training of citizen scientists in the field of Environmental Health, in order to be committed to the information to be produced and to the process of critical reflection on social development. Key messages To present an emerging issue in Brazil, related to Glyphosate, when researchers found amounts of glyphosate a hundred times above the safe limit for human consumption in southern Brazil. To present the concern in promoting the training of citizen scientists in the field of Environmental Health, as well as promoting the process of critical reflection and social development.

O texto apresenta uma análise do trabalho do tutor nas universidades públicas Educação a Distância (EaD). Como pressuposto metodológico, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica calcada no conceito de ser-humano-genérico de Alves (2013), além de observações empíricas como tutor a distância do curso de Licenciatura em Música da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) através da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB). O foco dado ao trabalho é o da precarização do trabalho docente e modos de intensificação do trabalho. O referencial teórico apresentado é o da problematização da nova morfologia do trabalho?, precarizada através de otimização dos lucros inserida na docência através de tutoria remunerada através de bolsas de estudos. A relação de trabalho de tutor e a precarização do trabalho vivenciada empiricamente na UAB é comparada com os relatos sobre o CEDERJ. Concluímos que com a falta de regulação e sindicalização do trabalho docente a distância aliado a fragilidade do financiamento da UAB, tal forma de oferta de cursos a distância em instituições públicas pode acarretar em uma súbita interrupção desses serviços se não houver uma política pública de longo prazo capaz de regular e estabilizar tal oferta, sendo fundamental igualar as condições de trabalho docente dos cursos a distância com cursos presenciais.Palavras-chave: Educação a distância, Precarização do trabalho, Trabalho docente, Formação humana.The Precariousness of the Work of the Distance Tutor in the Open University of Brazil: Reports of a Distance Tutor AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of the work of the tutor in public universities Distance Learning (DL). As methodological fundamentals, a bibliographical research based on the concept of human-generic of Alves (2013), as well as empirical observations as a distance tutor of the undergraduate course in Music of the University of Brasília (UnB) through Open University of Brasil (UAB). The focus of taken in this paper is the casualization of the teaching profession and ways of intensification of work. The presented theoretical framework is that of theproblematization the "new morphology of work" precarious through optimization of profits inserted in teaching through tutoring remunerated through scholarships. The relationship of the tutor's work and the precariousness of the work empirically experienced at the UAB is compared with the reports about CEDERJ. We conclude that in the absence of regulation and unionization of the teaching work distance allied with the fragility of the UAB financing, such as offering distance learning courses in public institutions may imply a sudden interruption of these services if there is no long-term public policy able to regulate and stabilize such offer, being fundamental to match the working conditions of teachers of distance learning courses with classroom courses.Keywords: Distance Learning, Precariousness work, Professor work, Human formation.

Resumo: Neste estudo analisaram-se as políticas públicas educacionais voltadas para os Cursos Superiores de Tecnologia (CSTs) desde o início da sua oferta, na década de 1960, identificando, entre outros aspectos, as concepções de educação adotadas nesse período de estudo e os enfrentamentos das instituições públicas de educação profissional a essas políticas. São consideradas as contribuições de Marisa Brandão, Acácia Kuenzer e Neise Deluiz para efetuar uma análise a partir de pesquisa documental que identificou o surgimento dos cursos de graduação de curta duração e traçou a concepção inicial dos CSTs, seguindo com as políticas nacionais criadas a partir da década de 1990 até o segundo Governo do Presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC). Os resultados obtidos revelaram algumas constatações, dentre as quais se destacam: em todo o período compreendido nesta pesquisa o modelo legal proposto para os CSTs promovia uma educação voltada para o mercado de trabalho; a retomada da oferta dos CSTs pelos Governos FHC sinaliza um modelo de política pública que parecia trazer a execução antes do planejamento, o que ocasionou alguns efeitos desastrosos, como baixa aceitação dos profissionais formados e dificuldade para continuidade dos estudos acadêmicos em nível de pós-graduação e para ocupação das suas funções profissionais de trabalho, uma vez que a oferta dos cursos ocorreu antes mesmo da sua completa regulação.Palavras-chave: Cursos Superiores de Tecnologia.

The contributions of Marisa Brandão, Acácia Kuenzer and Neise Deluiz are considered to carry out an analysis based on documentary research that identified the emergence of the short duration undergraduate courses and outlined the initial conception of the CSTs, following the national policies created from the 1990 until the second Government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC). The results obtained revealed some findings, among which the following stand out: throughout the period included in this study, the legal model proposed for CSTs promoted an education focused on the labor market; the resumption of CSTs by the Governments of FHC signaled a public policy model that seemed to bring execution before planning, causing some disastrous effects, such as low acceptance of trained professionals and difficulty in continuing academic studies at the level of postgraduate studies and to occupy their professional work functions since the course offerings occurred before their complete regulation.Keywords: Technologist Training Degrees.

Core Issues

This project explores the importance of the preservation of diverse private collections of crafted artefacts, and specifically improving digital access. The focus is on the transformation of an assemblage of 100 Syrian garments held in the United States into a museum-quality, publicly accessible archive. Private collections that are not financially endowed face various challenges, including their culturally valuable content being inaccessible and underseen. The goal of archiving and exhibiting this collection of garments is to share Syria’s dress and craft history as a form of identity, community, economy, artistic expression and technological development. Each item is unique, representing an everyday life that no longer exists. As people moved to new geographical locations, craft traditions were not always carried with them. Consequently, the garments and accessories in this collection feature dyeing techniques, metalwork and symbolic representations of different generations of Syrian people from this ancient to present civilization. Throughout the research process, we learned to synthesize the core issues of contemporary craft heritage management, with an initial goal to build a new digital archiving method and template to benefit small or private collections outside of institutions. First, we determined how to do so using affordable and accessible tools, in line with manageable industry standards. Digital photography, metadata development, object labelling, and anecdotal interviews complement the existing collection information. The long-term goal is the dissemination of the collection through exhibitions, interactive websites, symposiums and publications. Museums are working harder to diversify their collections, and many private collections represent marginalized cultures or do not fit within the established parameters of public institutions. This study touches upon the disparate and specific needs of private versus public collecting, and how to bridge some of the gaps using standardized digitization techniques towards similar preservation and outreach goals.

Employment Setting

The issue of transitioning from work in theological libraries to public university libraries is explored using the method of autoethnography. Key differences between public, private, and for-profit schools are highlighted and linked to how each type is driven variously by a mission, mandate, or method. Since the ease by which job seekers may adjust when moving between each type may be affected by factors beyond personal preferences for benefits, this paper surveys literature related to fit and retention in the academy; religious privilege; religion and legal doctrine; and faith in the context of secular employment. Finally, the terms theological librarian, religious librarian, and religion librarian are defined relative to the different roles librarians undertake in private versus public institutions. A rubric for evaluating a move to a new employment setting is included as an appendix.
