How small would you guess the smallest book in our Special Collections is?

It was initially printed in Germany in 1471/1472 and went on to have numerous ...

Introducing Maastricht University Library | More than just books!
Looking at road accident data, it's likely that the original police reports would have given the names, as well as the ages and sexes and possibly other details like occupations, relationships, and so on of the victims and/or perpetrators. When data is aggregated, someone has to decide what information to lose. It may be that top-down decisions have been made to exclude certain details: most of us would like to know what makes and models of cars are involved in accidents, and to relate that to the numbers of each on the road, car and driver characteristics, etc. However, the public is not given information to allow us to make informed decisions as to which models to buy or shun. The insurance companies presumably have their own data on accidents and breakdowns, but aggregates of the publicly-owned data are kept from us to save the sensibilities of manufacturers. It must be the government that decided not to tell us all which models are the most dangerous to drive,. Vast quantities of health data are collected by the government. Traditionally they have looked at occupational risks of death and later at disease among factory workers: but maybe not at shops and offices?
At least this wasn't a lot of nothing and just four minutes of it.
good and right! nice one Arthur - thanks for sharing
p̲r̲o̲m̲o̲s̲m̲ 😡
Entertaining and informative! Great effort ... I have created a related video that talks about Scott Taylor who wrote Telling Your Data Story. Check out- ua-cam.com/video/LZHB6wcAUdg/v-deo.html
Uitstekende uitleg over Eyck! Dankjewel!
This is so cool!! Thanks for posting.
is it a radio? with no pictures?
It’s a video interview also containing some images from our books.
very well done.
and where can i find the q&a connected to this video?
Dear Michiel, this video has been created in the context of the Dutch Acceleration plan (innovation of education with ICT), referring to sharing knowledge and material specifically in the context of education. The Q&A I mention in the video, was organised on a conference website, but feel free to contact us via the website of het 'Versnellingsplan' (zone Digitale leermaterialen).
so, as a wikipedian, i am very interested in your project.
this subject is already discussed for 20 years on wikimedia (board of all wikipedia's)
Hi. Thank you so much for this interview. I'd love to know more about this first book on the history of illustration (2018). Would you know how it is called? Thanks in advance.
Our apologies for our delayed reply. We are happy you enjoyed the interview! The book Emilie is talking about, is "History of Illustration" by Susan Doyle (Anthology Editor), Jaleen Grove (Anthology Editor), and Whitney Sherman (Anthology Editor).
Interessant! Goede duiding van de betekenis van Eyck.
Misschien idee om meer gedichten (zonder piano!) voor te dragen?
