In the current technological environment, operation of every institution, museum included, requires the use of IT networks, among them the internet. This results from the fact that museums have their respective websites and web addresses. Regardless of the technological aspects, the use of the internet by museums has to bear in mind legal requirements resulting in particular from the Act on Access to Public Information, this including the BIP page, namely that of the Bulletin of Public Information that allows to provide access to this kind of information within the range as defined in the above Act. The requirements of the accessibility of digital websites of public museums taking into account the needs of disabled citizens is specified by the Act on Accessibility of the Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies. Some of the provisions of the Act with respect to websites published before 23 September 2018 will come into force as of 23 September 2020. In the discussed context it also legal provisions related to IT assets that are of importance; these contain computer software and electronic databases. The legal status of these assets is specified in the provisions of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights (see its Arts. 3 and 7) as well as of the Act on Database Protection. Apart from the above, which, however, do not exhaust the whole range of the topic-related issues, it is also important to tackle the question of the digitizing of the assets (collections) that museums have at their disposal, in particular museum objects and images of people that constitute personal rights, which are digitized and disseminated online. Apart from the Act on Museums, particularly its Art. 25a, it is the Act on Copyright and Related Rights as well as the Civil Code that through the general provisions on the protection of personal rights, these also including images of people, give the prescriptive context to the problem.

Use Of Internet

<p>The Internet is growing every day as a source of knowledge and medium for exchange of information. Midwives are beginning to recognise its potential for networking and collaboration, as well as a research tool for accessing evidence-based information that can be utilised in practice. This thesis explores the use of the Internet by midwives in New Zealand. It describes a pilot study, which took the opportunity to trial the use of the Internet as a research tool. The pilot study also tested a survey designed to discover how midwives regard and utilise the potential of the Internet to revolutionise the provision of maternity care. The sample for this study was a convenience sample of 54 midwives working in New Zealand. The midwives were invited by personal email to access the web site and complete the questionnaire. The data were then transferred by electronic transmission into the research database, and analysed by SPSS computer software. The data generated were nominal and descriptive statistics were used. This pilot study has shown that there is a population of midwives in New Zealand who regularly use the Internet for searching information, which they utilise in their professional practice, and pass onto colleagues and midwifery clients. Respondents were recruited to the study by way of ‘snowballing.’ One hundred and ten emails were sent out inviting midwives to participate in the study. They were also asked to pass on the invitation email to as many colleagues as possible. 54 midwives completed and submitted the questionnaire.</p>

Use Of The Internet

Museums also seek to bring to the public information about the content of their collection and the cultural activities developed in their space. The use of the Internet as a means of communication made it possible for museums to interact more closely with the public - whether or not they were in museums. But what are virtual museums? What sets them apart from museum sites? This article focuses on the configuration of virtual museums, discussing their concept based on authors who worked on the theme. In addition, it presents two examples of virtual museums: the Portinari Project and the MUVA.

Youth Vote

This paper examines a few of the numerous factors that may have led to increased youth turnout in 2008 Election. First, theories of voter behavior and turnout are related to courting the youth vote. Several variables that are perceived to affect youth turnout such as party polarization, perceived candidate difference, voter registration, effective campaigning and mobilization, and use of the Internet, are examined. Over the past 40 years, presidential elections have failed to engage the majority of young citizens (ages 18-29) to the point that they became inclined to participate. This trend began to reverse starting in 2000 Election and the youth turnout reached its peak in 2008. While both short and long-term factors played a significant role in recent elections, high turnout among youth voters in 2008 can be largely attributed to the Obama candidacy and campaign, which mobilized young citizens in unprecedented ways.
