Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) Resource Guides
http://www.jisc. ac.uk/index.cfm?name=resguides

The huge growth in the availability and choice of resources to support learning, teaching and research can make the business of finding quality resources relevant to your subject area both time consuming and frustrating. To make life easier, the JISC Resource Guides support staff and students engaged in higher education activities by directing them to a selection of key, high quality resources in seven subject areas.

Each Guide is compiled by a dedicated Resource Guide Adviser who selects the key resources for the subject area and presents them in both print and Web format. Advisers offer a programme of outreach activities in response to your subject needs, including hands-on workshops and training events. They also play a crucial role in soliciting community feedback, helping to ensure that communication about the provision and use of resources and support and advisory services remains two-way. The seven subject areas are:

* Arts and Humanities
* Engine ering, Mathematics and Computing
* Geography and the Environment
* Health and Life Sciences
* Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism
* Physical Sciences
* Social Sciences

Florida Lost Electronic Voting Data

Florida Lost Electronic Voting Data 07/28/2004 01:06 PM
The electronic voting story keeps getting worse and worse -- especially in, of all places, Florida. We've already mentioned how Florida's e-voting machines had audit trails that didn't match the actual vote totals and how Florida has a law prohibi ting recounts for electronic voting machines. Now, the news comes out that, despite being required by law to keep the data from the machines for 22 months, election officials in Miami-Dade county admit that a hard-drive crash has wiped out the data from some electronic voting machines used in the 2002 election and there's simply no record of the votes any more. They quickly point out that all the votes were (probably) counted at the time of the election, but (of course) there's really no way to make sure that's true at all. It's also not the real point. This is highlighting (once again) how unreliable these machines are, and without any kind of paper trail, there's simply no way to go back and make sure that (a) the votes were counted (b) they were counted accurately and (c) they can be counted again.

NIH Proposes Free Access To Research Data
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64389-2004Sep5.html

The National Institutes of Health has proposed a major change to its funding policy -- it would mandate that all scientists who receive grants from the agency make the results of their research available to the public for free. The policy change comes in response to a report by the House Appropriations Committee expressing concern that U.S. taxpayers are not reaping the benefits of research that they have paid for. The report urges NIH to devise a system whereby research results would be "freely and continuously available no later than six months after publication." The proposal drew swift criticism from the scientific publishing industry, which argued that if people stop subscribing to their publications because they can read about these research results for free, the journals will be unable to perform the costly process of selecting, peer-reviewing and editing the results into the reliable products now available. However, NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni says he's concluded that publishers' estimates of how much such a system would harm them or cost the government were "way out of line" with reality. Although about 60,000 articles are published each year reporting on NIH-funded research, they constitute only a third of all biomedical journal articles. "Do you really think people are not going to subscribe to a journal because they can read 30% of the articles in it for free?" asks Richard Roberts, a research director at New England Biolabs, who strongly supports the shift to open access.
