New Content in Digital Repositories - The Changing Research Landscape (Paperback, New): Natasha Simons, Joanna Richardson New Content in Digital Repositories - The Changing Research Landscape (Paperback, New)
Natasha Simons, Joanna Richardson
R1,554 Discovery Miles 15 540 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Research institutions are under pressure to make their outputs more accessible in order to meet funding requirements and policy guidelines. Libraries have traditionally played an important role by exposing research output through a predominantly institution-based digital repository, with an emphasis on storing published works. New publishing paradigms are emerging that include research data, huge volumes of which are being generated globally. Repositories are the natural home for managing, storing and describing institutional research content. New Content in Digital Repositories explores the diversity of content types being stored in digital repositories with a focus on research data, creative works, and the interesting challenges they pose. Chapters in this title cover: new content types in repositories; developing and training repository teams; metadata schemas and standards for diverse resources; persistent identifiers for research data and authors; research data: the new gold; exposing and sharing repository content; selecting repository software; repository statistics and altmetrics.
Explores the role of repositories in the research lifecycle, and the emerging context for increasing non-text based contentFocuses on the management of research data in repositories and related issues such as metadata and persistent identifiersDiscusses skills and knowledge needed by repository staff to manage content diversity

Place and Identity - The Performance of Home (Paperback): Joanna Richardson Place and Identity - The Performance of Home (Paperback)
Joanna Richardson
R789 Discovery Miles 7 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The UK is experiencing a housing crisis unlike any other. Homelessness is on the increase and more people are at the mercy of landlords due to unaffordable housing. Place and Identity: Home as Performance highlights that the meaning of home is not just found within the bricks and mortar; it is constructed from the network of place, space and identity and the negotiation of conflict between those - it is not a fixed space but a link with land, ancestry and culture. This book fuses philosophy and the study of home based on many years of extensive research. Richardson looks at how the notion of home, or perhaps the lack of it, can affect identity and in turn the British housing market. This book argues that the concept of 'home' and physical housing are intrinsically linked and that until government and wider society understand the importance of home in relation to housing, the crisis is only likely to get worse. This book will be essential reading for postgraduate students whose interest is in housing and social policy, as well as appealing to those working in the areas of implementing and changing policy within government and professional spaces.

Gypsies and Travellers - Empowerment and Inclusion in British Society (Hardcover, New): Joanna Richardson, Andrew Ryder Gypsies and Travellers - Empowerment and Inclusion in British Society (Hardcover, New)
Joanna Richardson, Andrew Ryder
R2,320 Discovery Miles 23 200 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The eviction at Dale Farm in the UK in 2011 brought the conflicting issues relating to Gypsy and Traveller accommodation to the attention of the world's media. However, as the furore surrounding the eviction has died down, the very pressing issues of accommodation need, inequality of access to education, healthcare and employment, and exclusion from British (and European) society is still very much evident. This topical book examines and debates a range of themes facing Gypsies and Travellers in British society, including health, social policy, employment and education. It also looks at the dilemmas faced in representing disadvantaged minority groups in media and political discourse, theories on power, control and justice and the impact of European initiatives on inclusion. Gypsies and Travellers: Empowerment and inclusion in British society will be of interest to students, academics, policy makers, practitioners, those working in the media, police, education and health services, and of course to Gypsies and Travellers themselves.

Joanna Richardson
R881 Discovery Miles 8 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This topical book examines and debates the challenges posed - on a local, European, and global level - by the imperative to balance a fiscal need for smaller public expenditure with a social need for strong governance and protection of the most vulnerable in UK society. Leading academics in the field of local governance contribute to a diverse set of analyses on the impact of the financial crisis. From Recession to Renewal offers academic debate and challenging questions on common assumptions, such as the role of government and the juxtaposing needs of fiscal cut backs and increasing social needs for services. The book includes case studies/practical examples from a range of public services. Lessons from the front-line of service delivery are analyzed. It provides a history and ideological context for the financial crisis and debates the doctrine of government and governance.
