VIETNAM SYNDROME AND AMERICAN CINEMA OF 1970-s
Authors:   State Institute of Cinema and Television, Artyukh Anzhelika A. 
Published: December 2023

This article examines American films of the 1970s that explore the theme of the Vietnam War. The 1970s were a turning point, not only in terms of understanding the Vietnam syndrome, but also creating new models of war cinema that heavily influenced directors of the subsequent decades. Directors who explored the Vietnam War included not only well-known filmmakers from Hollywood, but also directors of small-budget, independent films, which reflected no less deeply on the Vietnam syndrome, the traumatic experience of the war, and the new type of violence that it created. The films of the subsequent decades built upon many discoveries of this period, helping future generations of moviegoers to not only comprehend the Vietnam war experience, but also to transcend a state of despair and defeatism in the face of war. The interdisciplinary method of this article will analyze these films about the Vietnam War through a historical, political and film studies lens, as well as engage aspects of gender and psychology to understand the cultural dynamics of the period, discourses of masculinity, dictatorship, submission, and the archetype of apocalypse.
Metodología Robusta para el Aseguramiento de la Calidad y Madurez Tecnológica, de un Producto Innovador, como Herramienta para Acercar a las Mujeres Científicas Mexicanas a Emprender
Authors: Hernández Acosta Humiko Yahaira , Sánchez Vázquez Elizabeth , Miranda Cid Alejandro 
Published: December 2023

Un estudio del Instituto Nacional del Emprendedor (INADEM) de 2017 indica que el 36% de los emprendedores en México son mujeres, y el 22% de ellas están involucradas en proyectos relacionados con tecnología y/o ciencia. A pesar de la brecha de género en el ámbito de la ciencia y tecnología, cada vez son más las mujeres que se involucran en estos campos y emprenden proyectos innovadores. En STEAM Preneur Woman México se busca formar redes innovadoras para impulsar a mujeres científicas a emprender en base a su producción científica o generación de conocimiento, así como incentivar el desarrollo tecnológico con responsabilidad social, además de acercar a las nuevas generaciones a estudiar carreras STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología y Matemáticas) y desarrollar habilidades STEM como habilidades blandas. Una mujer científica emprendedora es aquella que ha desarrollado una idea innovadora basada en la ciencia y la tecnología, y ha creado su propia empresa o proyecto para llevarlo a cabo. Estas mujeres no solo tienen conocimientos técnicos y científicos, sino que también tienen habilidades empresariales y de liderazgo para dirigir su proyecto y hacerlo crecer. En este trabajo se plantea una metodología para la validación de un desarrollo tecnológico en base a la ciencia y fundamentar su madurez tecnológica. Esta metodología es robusta para el aseguramiento de la calidad de un producto innovador en el área STEM, se divide en 7 etapas y es predecesora para ayudar a las mujeres científicas mexicanas a atreverse a emprender a través de desarrollos tecnológicos y además muestra casos de éxito lo que permitirá conocer el impacto en el ecosistema emprendedor de mujeres científicas a nivel mundial que se atreven a emprender y están marcando una pauta para disminuir la brecha de genero actual en el desarrollo de proyectos científicos y/o tecnológicos liderados por mujeres.

Intranets
Authors: Lindsay Dion 
Published: December 2023

UX for intranets:
Considerations of user experience have been part of intranet design since the beginning, though naturally it has played a bigger part since we moved on from intranets-as-mere-repositories-of-shared- stable-information.
Although the expression seems tautological (who wouldn’t design an intranet with the end-users’ experience in mind?), as usual there’s a lot more to it.
Firstly, doesn’t user experience just boil down to usability? Secondly, can we really design something as subjective as the experiences of the users of intranets? Thirdly, there are competing philosophies, primarily task-based design.

Information Management: Developing & Using Content Quality Guidelines
Authors: White Martin 
Published: December 2023

All organisations will have guidelines on how things should be done, from completing an expense form to starting up a new project. Very few provide any guidance to employees on how to ensure that the content they are creating as internal documents or as intranet and website pages is of a high quality. This guidance should be an element of an overall information management policy. At the core of content quality is the ownership of a piece of information by an individual employee who is given support both by their manager and by the information management ethos of the organisation.
Anyone using a piece of content needs to be assured that it:
Is owned by an employee who has the responsibility and support to ensure that it only remains available for as long as it is valid, accurate and of use to the organisation;
Is the most current version;
Is of the highest quality;
Can be used with confidence to make business-critical decisions;
Can be used with confidence in creating new content;
Presents no risk to the user or the organisation in referring to the content in the course of a business transaction;
Will highlight related content;
Can be shared with others with an appropriate access permission;
Is in a format that encourages use.
Web Metrics for Library and Information Professionals
Authors: De Saulles Martin 
Published: December 2023

David Stuart’s “Web Metrics for Library and Information Professionals” is an authoritative overview of the origins of and evolution of web metrics with a focus on their relevance to the information profession. The author’s background as an academic researcher at King’s College London means he approaches the subject more from a research perspective than from a practitioner’s one. This results in a book particularly relevant to an academic audience although practitioners wishing to know more about the technicalities of web metrics will find much of value here.
As a lecturer in digital marketing who teaches across a range of computing and LIS courses, I found the book’s first several chapters especially useful. Stuart describes the connections between bibliometrics and web analytics and shows that librarians have had measurement as a key part of their job for many years. In Chapter 2 he outlines the evolution of metrics as used by the library profession and the origins of web metrics. He makes the point that web analytics have their origins in marketing, making it more applied than bibliometrics, which often have a more abstract heritage. However, he shows that some marketing tools such as Google Trends are also useful for academic researchers because of the breadth of the data they provide access to. The discussion on relational and evaluative metrics may appear a little academic to some readers but it provides a useful foundation for understanding web metrics and how they differ in what they are measuring and how their outputs might be used.
How to Automate Wikipedia
Authors: Upshall Michael 
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, Wikipedia is so ubiquitous that when you use the Web, you don’t even have to look for it – Wikipedia comes to you. It is well known that Google search is deliberately adjusted to ensure that hits from Wikipedia are shown high up in search results, in fact so high that SEO experts wonder how it is achieved. (See, for example “Why Wikipedia is top on Google: the SEO truth no-one wants to hear.”) But not so well known is the process that goes on in the background to create Wikipedia content. You may think that this work is largely manual, and there are indeed tens of thousands of enthusiastic and committed volunteers who maintain and compile Wikipedia entries, but there is also an increasing amount of automation providing ways in which the process can be speeded up, and, as you might expect, some disagreement over the best route that automation should take.
Given the scale of Wikipedia, it’s not surprising there have been attempts to speed up the process of creating the world’s largest encyclopaedia
How Good is your Content Quality?
Authors: White Martin 
Published: December 2023

In no particular order there are four key principles of information quality.
a. PurposeEvery piece of information on an intranet should be there for a purpose. Before publishing, the content owner (who may not be the publisher) should consider the potential value of the content they are publishing and write it in a way that will help an individual employee or a group of employees to use and share the content.
b. DiscoveryIntranet users will find the information they need by browsing through the site navigation, by carrying out a search or by setting up a profile to alert them to information as soon as it is published. The role of a content publisher is not just to create information but also to ensure that the people who will benefit from it can find it.c. TrustEvery piece of information on the intranet will be used in some way to make a decision that could affect the reputation of the firm. Every user of information has to be able to trust it implicitly or if they have any doubts they are able to check with the content owner.
d. OwnershipIt is the responsibility of all employees to ensure that content that they own is maintained in a way that it meets the purpose for which it was published, that it is findable and that staff can trust that it is accurate and valid.
Preserving Complex Digital Objects
Authors: Katny Margaret 
Published: December 2023

This collection comprises contributions from 33 authors and is based on the results of Jisc-funded Preservation of Complex Objects (POCOS) symposia, which took place in the UK in 2011 and 2012. The symposia brought together international experts on complex digital objects and aimed to review research and practice to date, point to solutions and suggest areas where more work was needed.
The last five years or so of the digital revolution have produced a proliferation of technologies. Many of them are ephemeral and involve social networking, cloud computing, online gaming or virtual art. Digital objects, simple and complex, surround us. Simple digital objects such as documents, images or e-books are fairly easy to make safe and accessible for the future generations. This is considerably more difficult with complex digital objects. For the purpose of this book, the types of complex objects have been narrowed down to simulations/visualisations, digital/software art and gaming/virtual environments. These by no means cover all types of complex objects but represent a selection of most distinct categories.
Crossing the Road Without the Lollypop Lady: Some thoughts on safely navigating information traffic in a school library
Authors: Kelley Linda , Icke Amy 
Published: December 2023

UKeiG prides itself on the support we give to continuing professional development and are delighted to publish an article co-written by the winner of our Early Career Award for 2015. It is a fascinating overview of the opportunities and challenges facing information professionals in schools. How are they grappling with curricula changes and the transition to and interface with higher education and the workplace?
Reflecting on the use of e-resources in schools, this article outlines some of the challenges and opportunities schools face when engaging with the digital world. We look at how we have used e-resources within this setting and conclude by considering some new opportunities to explore in the coming year.
The following thoughts on using digital resources in schools arose from a discussion reflecting on Amy’s first year in her new post as Librarian at Wimbledon High School. Throughout the discussion we considered what has worked well, the challenges we are currently facing and looked ahead to possible new opportunities and developments. Having previously worked together, we then thought about our current different working contexts and changes over the last year, which reinforced the importance of adapting our service to the specifics of each organisation.

Reflections on Information Retrieval
Authors: Horrocks Gary 
Published: December 2023

This article pays homage to the success of UKeiG’s Tony Kent Strix Award, with a brief overview of the fascinating 2016 Annual Lecture. Chris Armstrong writes: “The panel that runs the Tony Kent Strix Award felt for a number of years that the winners should be celebrated in some way that extended beyond a simple presentation, and the inauguration of the Annual Strix Lecture in 2015 was the outcome. Peter Ingwersen followed Microsoft’s Dr Susan T Dumais and will be followed next year by the 2016 winner, Professor Maristella Agosti.”
On his recent retirement from UKeiG, Chris, who with the Strix panel has managed the Award for many years, said: “It has been an honour to be associated with the Tony Kent Strix Award for so long. It is given in recognition and appreciation of a man I only knew slightly, but who made major contributions to information retrieval. The list of previous winners is impressive, from Professor Stephen Robertson through international luminaries such as Donna Harman, Peter Willett, Kalervo Jarvelin, Keith van Rijsbergen and Herbert van Sompel. The award stands as a fitting tribute to everything that Tony Kent accomplished. It should be said that it also marks the not inconsiderable effort put in over the years by my colleagues on the Strix panel who set up the Award following Tony Kent’s death.” In taking over the Award from the Institute of Information Scientists, UKeiG recognised its value and importance, and the group is proud to sponsor the Annual Lecture.

Professor Pia Borlund
Authors: Horrocks Gary 
Published: December 2023

UKeiG would like to inform you that the 5th Tony Kent Strix Annual Memorial Lecture 2019 is to be delivered by Professor Pia Borlund, Department of Archivistics, Library and Information Science at Oslo Metropolitan University and will take place on the afternoon of Friday, 29th November 2019 at The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. Professor Borlund was nominated for the award by Diane H. Sonnenwald, Emerita Professor of Library & Information Studies at University College Dublin and received unanimous praise and support from the Strix judging panel. “Similar to the memorable Dr Tony Kent, the work by Borlund is original and innovative, and has had a significant impact on information retrieval (IR) research and applications. Her approaches are analytical and practical, and her devotion and dedication to users and interactive information retrieval (IIR) are outstanding. Within the IR community, Borlund is known for her innovative contributions to IR user studies, evaluations and test design, including strong, novel methodological contributions to IIR evaluation. In particular, she is recognised for the development of her IIR evaluation model which uniquely employs simulated work task situations. Borlund developed the IIR evaluation model as a doctoral student by taking up the challenges of the calls put forward by Professor Stephen Robertson (recipient of the first Tony Kent Strix Award in 1998) and Micheline Hancock-Beaulieu, in their iconic 1992 paper on IR systems evaluation.
