The literature of the information needs and uses of humanities scholars in universities is reviewed, using, in the main, material published from 1970 onwards. The areas covered include definitions of humanities, the way humanities scholars work and the materials of their research; secondary services; computers and new technology; the role of libraries and library services and comparisons between humanities and other disciplines. The review ends with a brief assessment of the state of the art; an outline of some unanswered questions and some consideration of the future of humanities. The main conclusions drawn are that the literature is piecemeal, at times confusing, and that progress in providing guidelines to librarians on the basis of systematic enquiry is slow.

Humanities scholars: information needs and uses

This rich study explores the elements of Hegel's social and political thought that are most relevant to our society today. Combating the prevailing post-World War II stereotype of Hegel as a proto-fascist, Charles Taylor argues that Hegel aimed not to deny the rights of individuality but to synthesise them with the intrinsic good of community membership. Hegel's goal of a society of free individuals whose social activity is expressive of who they are seems an even more distant goal now, and Taylor's discussion has renewed relevance for our increasingly globalised and industrialised society. This classic work is presented in a fresh series livery for the twenty-first century with a specially commissioned new preface written by Frederick Neuhouser.

Hegel and Modern Society.

The transformation of the French model of crime prevention and control which started in the early eighties bears witness to the increasing complexity of the process of definition, elaboration and implementation of the programmes of action From then on, international institutions, local authorities and actors of trading and non-trading companies have been contributing in the studied area These new partners are given the responsibility to support the state institutions in their craking down on crime Prior to this, they take part in the elaboration and the implementation of programmes of prevention This is now time for the « joint production » of the security, and the transformation of the organization of powers questions about the permanency of the state monopoly concerning the crime prevention and control Observing the contemporary crime policy through the prism of the evolution of the state action, this study aims at showing that the forms of decentralization, internationalization, and privatization of the crime prevention and control policies do not assume the complexion of a republican model placing the state at the centre of the system of action Combining mechanisms of outsourcing an internalization, the state intends to support, or even reinforce its superiority The porcesses of hybridization of the regulations and joint production security do not result in an weakening or a loss of interest from the State Paradoxically, they contribute to restore its authority, its legitimacy and its efficiency

Information retrieval in the arts and humanities differs from that in the sciences because the documents required differ in many respects. Nevertheless, the Institute for Scientific Information® has successfully adapted its basic citation indexing system, first used in the "Science Citation Index"®, to its new "Arts & Humanities Citation Index™". Special adaptations of the system to meet the information needs of humanities scholars are discussed. The potential effects of the new index (and resulting data base) are seen as the promotion of interdisciplinary research, accessibility of bibliographic data for sociological and historical studies of humanities scholarship, and more objective methods for evaluating humanities journals.

Is Information Retrieval in the Arts and Humanities Inherently Different from That in Science? The Effect That ISI's Citation Index for the Arts and Humanities Is Expected to Have on Future Scholarship.

Part One of Montesquieu's Idea of Justice comprises a survey of the currency in philosophical, ethical and aesthetic debate during the second half of the 17th century of the terms rapport and convenance, which are central to the enigmatic definition given to justice by Mon tesquieu in Lettres Persanes LXXXllI. In this survey, attention is concen trated on the way in which the connotations of these terms fluctuate with the divergent development of the methodological and speculative outgrowths of Cartesian ism into two schools of thought, materialist and idealist, often widely at variance in their views of the nature and orga nization of the universe. In Part Two, Montesquieu's definition of justice is set against this background, whose doctrinal conflicts, because of the characteristic as sociations of its key terms, it may be taken to reflect, just as it may be held to epitomize, by virtue of its elaboration in the opening chapter of De l' Esprit des Lois and its close terminological affinities with the defini tion of law there given, an undoubtedly related conflict between the implications of causal determinism and the aspirations of idealist meta physics surviving at the heart of Montesquieu's outlook, and, remaining unresolved, often said to impair the coherence if not the validity of his theory of society."

Hegel et l'État

What kind of political philosopher was Hegel? In what ways was he right and wrong, and how much does it matter? To what extent can he be held responsible for the factions that came after him? Was he the founder of modern revolutionary theory, or the great conservative champion of the Prussian militarist state, or a philospher with equal appeal to left and right? In this text Eric Weil reviews these disputes, their philosophic underpinnings and their historical consequences, providing an introduction to the breadth of Hegel's thoughts about politics as well as a guide through its twists, turns and detours.

Hegel and the state

value of the humanities (to be precise, of history and philosophy). Even more, he is convinced that only the humanities are able to handle the question of the worth of human occupations?including the sciences proper?because the sciences are unable to reflect upon questions which bear on man considered as an acting, thinking, feeling subject, not as an object for analytic, factorial, causal analysis. He knows quite well that he is up against a mightly phalanx repre senting the opposing view and against its Goliath, old Thorstein Veblen, who, in his nearly unbearably repetitious manner, made bold to show that there is no legitimate place for traditional learning in modern society: the humanities, he claimed, "are, from the point of view of economic efficiency in the broader sense, disserviceable anachronisms," and the classical languages are "substantially useless information."1 This contention is formidable indeed, since Western, and even Eastern societies insofar as they are to be considered "modern," have gone over to Veblen, wiped out "anthropomorphic," "priestly," and "leisure class" ideals, put a stigma on concepts of "status" and "envious comparison," and re nounced everything non-productive and not "workmanlike." What Veblen called the study of causal relations in nature and society has become, it would appear, the central interest in our world.
