Index to ‘We fight death’ by Gusti Jirku

Index to ‘We fight death’ by Gusti Jirku

‘We fight death’ is a short book about one woman’s visit to medical centres in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. It has lots of anecdotes and snippets of information about different people. I thought it would be useful to have an index to the work. You can access it at the link above.

The book is available at the Working Class Movement Library (reference only – http://146.87.210.24/detail.aspx).

It is also available online in German at http://library.fes.de/pdf-files/netzquelle/a-32080.pdf. read more

In for a penny: micropayments on the Internet

By Jon: First published in Online Currents 2004 – 19(3) 16-17

Why micropayments?

A graph of payment amounts made for Internet transactions would show a large number at the ‘free’ end, representing accesses of the tremendous amount of material funded by advertising, government sponsorship, and just plain altruism. There would be a smaller, extended hump starting at about the $US5 mark and trailing off gradually up in the thousands; included here would be some of the paid reports supplied by Internet research services like Forrester and Gartner. But between zero and, $US5 there would be very little activity. This is the area of micropayments; the region in which the current cost of carrying out a transaction through established methods is greater than the amount of the transaction itself. read more

Information architecture web sites

By Glenda: First published in Online Currents – Vol.19 Issue 1, January/February 2004

Information architecture (IA) is a natural extension of the traditional roles of librarians and indexers. For many years I have been keeping up with developments in this expanding field. This article describes Web sites about Information Architecture that I have found useful.

Information architecture is the structuring of information for access, primarily by navigation through browse categories. In many ways it is an extension of traditional library approaches, using categorisation (classification), indexing, cataloguing (metadata creation) and thesaurus (or taxonomy) creation skills. Many librarians and library technicians now have roles in the management of library Web sites or intranets, and therefore need to know about information architecture. read more

Information Visualisation

By Glenda: First published in Online Currents – Vol.18 Issue 8, October 2003

Information visualisation is a technique for visually presenting large quantities of information to users. It has been applied to search engine results, library catalogues, business information and scientific research data, with the aim of making information quickly accessible to end-users, and of developing new ways for users to explore data. The methods for displaying the data are often compared with traditional maps; both summarise an enormous amount of information and allow users to identify patterns and trends. read more
