The authors describe the situation of Polish immigrant organisations in selected European countries (Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain) on the basis of field research. Their aim is to explore and explain the conditions under which they operate. This seminal publication presents the first cross-disciplinary research on Polish immigrant organisations. It allows to compare and generalise, enabling the authors to formulate new theoretical proposals, which aim to build a model explaining the situation of immigrant organisations.
The paper covers an analysis of the data which come from the first module of a research project into the digitalization of cultural heritage in Poland. The authors of the research conducted qualitative and quantitative content analyses of three diverse kinds of empirical material: legislative documents (N=102), websites including repositories of digitalized objects of cultural heritage (N=455) and academic dissertations (N=200). The analysis reveals the gap between policies on digitalization and on-line strategies and practices. The research findings lead us to a basic categorization frame for the repositories and draw a preliminary conclusion on the access and the reception of digitalized resources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
