The change provoked by the emergence of electronic information services (EIS), is only one of many changes taking place in higher education, which affect the nature of academic jobs and roles, research and knowledge, student profiles and learning. In an environment characterised by several drivers for change, it is important that information professionals and policy makers are able to make well-informed decisions concerning the development, provision and funding of EIS. To this end, JISC, the Joint Information Systems Committee, established a User Behaviour Monitoring and Evaluation Framework to investigate and profile the use of electronic information services within higher education in the United Kingdom. This article discusses aspects of the methodology of the Framework, and preliminary findings from the first annual cycle of the Framework. Findings are based on interactions with 1500 users, including academic staff, LIS staff, and students. Executed through 3 strands, the framework methodology uses an array of quantitative and qualitative approaches to lend a variety of insights into user behaviour with EIS, factors that encourage the use of EIS, and those that act as barriers to the effective integration of EIS into the learning experience.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125103493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These areas include student registration, personnel, nancial administration and library management. The Institutes involved in the MIS Project, through an MIS Project Consortium Board (and a previous body called the Project Steering Committee), control and govern the MIS Project. All Institutes involved in the MIS Project are represented on the MIS Project Consortium Board. As with all projects, the MIS Project is a one-time unique opportunity to do something that has not been done before, within specied resources, constraints and objectives. Recognition of the need to build on the advantages of commonality is an underlying reason for adopting a centralised approach to the implementation and development of these software installations. The MIS Libraries Project provides centralised management services for all of the implementations in Institute Libraries. The Project offers a complete solution for the Institute Libraries from software and server hardware acquisition through to training and implementation resources. It has also devised an implementation plan and methodology to assist Libraries. The Institutes are geographically dispersed but share a common legislative framework. 2 The MIS Project began in 1993 and is funded by Ireland’s Department of Education and Science. The member Institutes come from diverse backgrounds, are often in competition with each other and do not necessarily share common ambitions. All are governed by similar legislation and government policy which focuses their work on the delivery of technically oriented training. Institutes were originally called Regional Technical Colleges. The early Colleges were founded in the late 1960s and were managed by local educational boards. Legislation in the 1990s conferred autonomy on the Colleges in relation to the management of their own affairs. Because of the nature of their training, Institutes have been credited with providing the workforce competencies that have fuelled Ireland’s oft called ‘Celtic Tiger’ economy. 3 The common legislative framework inaugurated in the early 1990s has provided a potential framework for the development of common approaches and policies.

Aumont, Olivier Salaün","doi":"10.18452/1004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18452/1004","url":null,"abstract":"Preface The development was initiated in 1997. The goal was to replace a previous mailing lists server \"TULP\", initiated in 1992 to organize the Bitnet services migration and was used essentially by French universities. Since April 97, Sympa development provided by the French academic network team (CRU) and distributed under Gnu Public Licence. Now Sympa includes a lot of sophisticated features and is widely used around the world. The Open source community provide many mailing lists servers (http://listes.cru.fr/sympa/ robots.php3). Why developing one more mailing lists server ? We believe that mailing lists are a major service that needs a perfect adaptation to each application domain. Sympa is the only software that provides the following characteristics: 1. Full compliance to RFCs including MIME in any aspect of the service 2. Internationalization: Sympa is available with the it, de, fr, us, fi, es, cn langages (pl and se are under waiting). 3. Enhanced customisation possibilities 4. Good performances 5. Easy to manage for list master. Example: dynamic lists directory. 6. Integrated user and admin web interface Easy extensions of features (object oriented code). 1.2 A few original features Using internal RDBMS Firt goal is to support large services with high performances and scalability relying on RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase supported). Sympa has been tested with 300.000 subscribers in a single list on a medium server (bi PII 550mhz with 512 Mega RAM) and some users already have real usage with more than 100.000 subscribers using MySQL. The database allows high performances. It also resolves data acces conflict between Sympa's mail and web interface that share the same datas.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130188549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before a video signal of a camera arrives at a remote studio to be edited live, it travels over video adapters and analog/digital converters to codecs which in turn compress the signal to comply with small bandwidth constraints. This technical process adds a significant amount of delay that makes it difficult for the camera crew and director to interact spontaneously. An additional amount of delay is added through their human reaction times as well. Meaningful interaction requires however, that the overall delay times stay within tight limits.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126861161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This development has been taken care of by the manufacturers of hardware and the developers of software. On the other hand the amount of information that has to be handled is still growing. The process of globalisation has reached universities, too. So external developments call for a cooperation, which can be supported by a sophisticated network structure. In addition, in Germany a better cooperation between the areas of research and teaching has also been discussed, focussing especially on the financial aspect.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130685795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At that time it was rather simple to decide which system qualified as supercomputer. The performance gap between vector system and regular mainframes was too large to leave any doubts. Beginning of the nineties this situation had gradually changed. A considerable number of companies competed in the HPC market with a large variety of architectures such as vector computer, mini vector computer, SIMD (Singel Instruction on Multiple Data) and MPP (Massive Parallel Processing) systems. A new definition was needed to decide which of these systems was a “supercomputer”. This definition needed to be architecture independent. Because of Moore’s Law this definition also had to be dynamic in nature to deal with the constant increase in computer performance.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131826571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
