Developing sustainable research data management services: an institutional collaboration

Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

Een eenfalligh Kennedoom af nödtorftelighe articklar vthdraghne aff then Helga schrifft / Laurentius Olai Gestricius. (Coll. 762, Aholansaari Foundation's deposition)

Quire structure: 9xIV⁷² + (IV–1)⁷⁹. Text in one column, on (mostly) 26–33 lines, not ruled. Catchwords frequently used at the foot of each page to indicate the next word when a sentence continues on the next page. Not foliated. Gothic Cursive in one saec. XVI² hand. The first initial of the book has been touched with what looks like red pencil. This may be a later addition, as also the green tint to the outer edges of the block. Titles and rubrics distinguished, if at all, through layout only. A note fol. [47]v (see also the main text on fol. [31]v) indicates that the text was copied in 1580. The Anti-Papist poem mentions the Jesuit Antonio Possevino, active in Sweden in 1577–1580 (Kiiskinen ed. 2010, 25, 27). The texts appear to be copies of printed works, with the possible exception of the Anti-Papist poem. The publication of Eric Falck’s Een Tröstbook is known, but apparently no printed copies survive; Laurentius Olai Gestricius’ catechism is otherwise unknown. He was a teacher in Gävle from 1557 or 1558, then curate of Västerås from 1561 and of Stockholm in 1562, where he died in 1565 (Kiiskinen ed. 2010, 15, 349; Collijn ed. 1927–1938, vol. 2, 324).

Digital Humanities For Everyone’s Benefit?: interplay in social media with the great audience, high-esteemed researcher and self-conscious library

The National Library of Finland realizes the Digitization Project of Kindred Languages in 2012–15. The project is financially supported by the Kone Foundation. During this project the National Library of Finland has digitized and made available approximately 1200 monograph and more than 100 newspaper titles in several Uralic languages. The materials are available to both researchers and citizens in the National Library’s Fenno-Ugrica collection. The project will produce digitized materials in the Uralic languages as well as their development tools to support linguistic research and citizen science. The resulting materials will constitute the largest resource for the Uralic languages in the world. Through this project, researchers will gain access to corpora which they have not been able to study before and to which all users will have open access regardless of their place of residence. In my presentation, I will discuss 1) how we utilized the social media (Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte etc) to gain audience for our collection and 2) how the needs of researchers and laymen were met in crowdsourcing.

Usean näytön hyödyntäminen Windows-ympäristössä

Tässä kandidaatintyössä luodaan kattava katsaus erilaisiin PC-laiteissa toimiviin usean näytön käyttöönottomenetelmiin, joita on olemassa useita ominaisuuksiltaan ja käyttötarkoituksiltaan erilaisia. Työssä perehdytään Windowsin usean näytön tuen historiaan ja sen kehitykseen eri Windows versioiden välillä tuen alkuajoista 1990-luvulta nykyaikaan aina viimeisimpiin Windows käyttöjärjestelmiin asti. Lopuksi tarkastellaan vielä pelien usean näytön tukea ja kuinka hyödyntää useaa näyttöä sellaisissa peleissä, jotka eivät sitä sisäänrakennetusti tue.
