As part of a rewrite of our system we broke the application into three component pieces: a file repository, a course timetable data service, and an interface application for building and viewing individual course pages. The new three-piece system was written with an inward facing service-oriented architecture that allowed us to choose the best technologies to solve each of the tasks the entire system needs to accomplish. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/31735 Name authority control in institutional repositories Salo, Dorothea Neither the standards nor the software underlying institutional repositories anticipated performing name authority control on widely disparate metadata from highly unreliable sources. Without it, though, both machines and humans are stymied in their efforts to access and aggregate information by author. Many organizations are awakening to the problems and possibilities of name authority control, but without better coordination, their efforts will only confuse matters further. Local heuristics-based name-disambiguation software may help those repository managers who can implement it. For the time being, however, most repository managers can only control their own name lists as best they can after deposit while they advocate for better systems and services. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/30749 The Memorial Union Terrace: A Landscape History Haswell, Susan Olsen http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/23259 Academic Libraries: "Social" or "Communal?" The Nature and Future of Academic Libraries Gayton, Jeffrey T. The apparent death of academic libraries, as measured by declining circulation of print materials, reduced use of reference services, and falling gate counts, has led to calls for a more “social” approach to academic libraries: installing cafés, expanding group study spaces, and developing “information commons.” This study compares these social models with the traditional academic library, whose spirit is best understood as “communal.” It argues that this communal spirit is unique, and greatly valued by academic library users. Efforts to create a more social academic library threaten this communal spirit, and may do more harm than good. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/22088 Innkeeper at the Roach Motel Salo, Dorothea Library-run institutional repositories face a crossroads: adapt or die. The "build it and they will come" proposition has been decisively proven wrong. Citation advantages and preservation have not attracted faculty participants, though current-generation software and services offer faculty little else. Academic librarianship has not supported repositories or their managers. Most libraries consistently under-resource and understaff repositories, further worsening the participation gap. Software and services have been wildly out of touch with faculty needs and the realities of repository management. These problems are not insoluble, especially in light of Harvard University arts and science faculty's recent permissions mandate, but they demand serious reconsideration of repository missions, goals, and means if we are to be ready for Harvard imitators, and especially to be ready should those imitators not surface. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/22081 What You're Up Against Salo, Dorothea Given at the NISO/PALINET workshop "Getting the Most from Your Institutional Repository" at the National Agricultural Library, 3 December 2007. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/21429 Five Weeks to a Social Library: Training underserved professional populations with social software Farkas, Meredith Salo, Dorothea Boule, Michelle Coombs, Karen Etches-Johnson, Amanda Kroski, Ellyssa Presented at the ASIS&T Annual Meeting 2007 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/18289 From Here to Extraterritoriality: The United States Within and Beyond Borders Gayton, Jeffrey T. Beginning in the late eighteenth century and running well into the twentieth, the United States claimed at least partial extraterritorial jurisdiction over American citizens in countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific. While the United States no longer claims such jurisdiction over its citizens abroad, it has not abandoned extraterritoriality. Today, the United States claims at least partial jurisdiction over a wide range of activities abroad that have effects within the United States. In this paper, I will attempt to trace and explain the historical development of American extraterritorial claims, focusing on claims made against China, Turkey, and the Barbary states of Morocco and Libya; and claims made in the area of antitrust law. I will argue that realist conceptions of power and interest and liberal conceptions of interdependence and international regimes are important, but incomplete explanations of American extraterritorial claims. Early American claims were in part driven by competition with the European states that made similar claims and may be viewed as constituting an international regime. Contemporary American extraterritorial claims are in part a reflection of American power and are driven by the blurring of sovereign jurisdiction caused by growing interdependence. However, in order to fully understand these two sets of claims, and in particular, to understand the shift from one to the other, I argue that (changing) conceptions of sovereignty are just as, if not more important. Exploring the development of American extraterritorial claims is important for several reasons. It will help develop and expand upon realist and neoliberal theory. It will provide an empirical contribution to the often abstract literature on sovereignty. It will contribute to our understanding of the role of domestic politics in foreign policy, particularly the role of the American judiciary. Finally, American extraterritoriality is not an arcane legal issue, but a major source of conflict between the United States and its friends and neighbors. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/18287 From Personalism to Territoriality: State Authority and Foreign Policy in Medieval and Modern Europe Gayton, Jeffrey T. This paper has two primary purposes – to develop a more sophisticated conceptualization of state authority relations and to demonstrate the utility of this conceptualization in explaining state behavior. It attempts to contribute to international relations theory by illustrating the contingent nature of territorial sovereignty. Territoriality is defined as a means of asserting, enforcing, and legitimating authority claims; authority claims are limited in terms of particular domains of human activity engaged in by humans within a particular space. This is contrasted with personal authority claims, which are limited in terms of particular domains of human activity engaged in by particular humans regardless of their location in space. When a state prohibits driving over a certain speed limit, it is using territoriality as a means of asserting, enforcing, and legitimating an authority claim. The claim is limited to a specific domain of human activity (speeding) engaged in by people within a particular space (the territory of the state). In contrast, when a religion prohibits sexual relations before marriage, it asserts, enforces, and legitimates its authority claims personally rather than territorially. The claim is limited to a specific domain of human activity (pre-marital sex) engaged in by adherents to the faith. The distinction between personal and territorial authority relations not only helps distinguish the state from other organizational forms, but helps distinguish different historical state forms. This paper argues that the medieval state, organized around feudal bonds of loyalty between lord and vassal, relied on personal rather than territorial authority claims. A preliminary exploration of the Hundred Years War demonstrates that the personal organization of medieval state authority relations helps explain certain “puzzles” of medieval state behavior that are inexplicable if the medieval state is viewed as territorial. This paper also suggests that the distinction between personal and territorial authority is also useful in understanding the behavior of modern states. Modern states are not entirely territorial; they rely in part on personal means of legitimating state authority. This latent personalism helps explain Russian claims of extra-territorial authority over ethnic Russians in the “near abroad” and the attempts by American citizens to bring suit against foreign nationals for human rights violations in other countries. http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/11563 Review: G.
