The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

This book first published in 1990 examines the relationship between sci-tech materials and trade literature commonly called manufacturers’ catalogues. Because very little has been published about the value and nature of trade literature in regard to sci-tech libraries this volume is important in informing librarians about a little-known segment of the larger picture of sci-tech information sources thus adding to the value of their services to their clients. It addresses the problems of handling sci-tech trade literature in a corporate technical library a large public library and a government library devoted to American history. Experts offer practical advice on selecting and organizing trade literature and on managing the growth and extent of a collection of trade literature. They discuss modern literature and older publications which often have great historical value. Libraries that collect both old and new materials are identified as are publishers of trade literature. The book also focuses on how a publisher of classic trade literature views its role. | The Role of Trade Literature in Sci-Tech Libraries

The New Patriarchs of Digital Capitalism Celebrity Tech Founders and Networks of Power

The New Patriarchs of Digital Capitalism Celebrity Tech Founders and Networks of Power

This book offers an original critique of the billionaire founders of US West Coast tech companies addressing their collective power influence and ideology their group dynamics and the role they play in the wider sociocultural and political formations of digital capitalism. Interrogating not only the founders’ political and economic ambitions but also how their corporations are omnipresent in our everyday lives the authors provide robust evidence that a specific kind of patriarchal power has emerged as digital capitalism’s mode of command. The ‘New Patriarchs’ examined over the course of the book include: Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Google Elon Musk of Tesla Jeff Bezos of Amazon Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Peter Thiel. We also include Sheryl Sandberg. The book analyses how these (mostly) men legitimate their rapidly acquired power tying a novel kind of socially awkward but ‘visionary’ masculinity to exotic forms of shareholding. Drawing on a ten million word digital concordance the authors intervene in feminist debates on patriarchy masculinity and postfeminism locating the power of the founders as emanating from a specifically racialised structure of oppression tied to imaginaries of the American frontier the patriarchal household and settler colonialism. This is an important interdisciplinary contribution suitable for researchers and students across Digital Media Media and Communication and Gender and Cultural Studies. | The New Patriarchs of Digital Capitalism Celebrity Tech Founders and Networks of Power

Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native

Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native

Unplugging Popular Culture showcases youth and young adult characters from film and television who defy the stereotype of the digital native who acts as an unquestioning devotee to screened technologies like the smartphone. In this study unplugged tools or non-digital tools do not necessitate a ban on technology or a refusal to acknowledge its affordances but work instead to highlight the ability of fictional characters to move from high tech settings to low tech ones. By repurposing everyday materials characters model the process of reusing and upcycling existing materials in innovative ways. In studying examples such as Pitch Perfect Supernatural Stranger Things and Get Out the book aims to make theories surrounding materiality apparent within popular culture and to help today’s readers reconsider stereotypes of the young people they encounter on a daily basis. | Unplugging Popular Culture Reconsidering Analog Technology Materiality and the “Digital Native
