title: Supporting gender-neutral digital library creation: a case study using the GenderMag toolkit

authors: Cunningham, Sally Jo

subjects: computer science

abstract: Software is assumed by its creators and maintainers to be gender-neutral: that is, that it is equally well suited for use by any user, regardless of gender. We investigate this assumption in the digital libraries context through analysis of a significant digital library construction and maintenance tool—the Greenstone Digital Librarian Interface (GLI)—using the GenderMag toolkit. GenderMag provides personas whose approaches to software use fall across the spectrum of gender-stereotypic actions and motivations. The personas are used as the basis for cognitive walkthroughs of the system under investigation, to uncover potential gender biases in system functionality and interface design. We uncover significant such biases in GLI.

title: Kia reo Māori anahe te reo karanga

authors: Puke, Haupai

subjects: Karanga

abstract: Mā taku karanga o runga ake nei tēnei tuhinga e wāwāhi. Ahakoa he aha te ahurea ōna tikanga me ōna kawa, kua hurihia i roto i ngā rautau. Ko ngētehi kei te pupuruhia tonutia hāunga anō he hou ōna āhuatanga. Ko te kaupapa rangahau o tēnei tuhinga ko te karanga me ngētehi āhuatanga ōna hei tautoko i te whakahau kia noho reo Māori anahe te reo karanga. He aha e pēnei na ai te whakaaro mō tēnei o ngā tikanga o te ao Māori? I runga anō i ngā āhuatanga hou, i ngā whakarerekētanga tikanga o te karanga i roto i tēnei ao hurihuri kāore e tautāwhina te take. Ko ngā kōrero, ngā whakaaro hoki e whai ake nei e wānangahia ai hei tautoko i tēnei whakapae āku.
