Sommario/riassunto

Records Managers have tended to find themselves given the responsibility for managing requests under the Freedom of Information (FOI) and Data Protection Acts (DPA), without necessarily having training and/or an academic background in legal studies. This book aims to fill this knowledge gap by offering a fully up to date, accessible, comprehensive guide to Information rights specifically for those without a legal background.    Information Rights for Records Managersaims to be as comprehensive as possible, including coverage of the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), Â  so that the guidance practitioners can provide is as fully informed as possible. Content covered includes:  Responding to FOI requests, including exemptions, internal reviews and benchmarking  Coverage of DPA and GDPR regulations, where the differences lie and what the implications are for professionals operating under the acts  Personal data requests and enquiries under GDPR  Working with the European Information Regulations (EIR) and where the differences lie with FOI  Discussion of the two strands of records management and information rights work and how the two interact in daily work  Practical case studies from a range of organisations and institutions to demonstrate practice.    The book will be useful reading for all professionals in the public and private sectors who have responsibility for information rights,



particularly around FOI and DPA. Its introductory nature will also mean that it will be very useful students and new professionals seeking to increase their knowledge.

Sommario/riassunto

Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It



has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will be interested in this dynamic content. The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased significantly. Various societies of such professionals include the Society for Economic Botany, the International Society of Ethnopharmacology, the Society of Ethnobiology, the International Society for Ethnobiology, and many regional and national societies in the field that currently have thousands of members. Growth has been most robust in BRIC countries. The objective of this new MRW on Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions is to take advantage of the increasing international interest and scholarship in the field of mountain research. We anticipate including the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants for each region. Each contribution will be scientifically rigorous and contribute to the overall field of study.
