• Automated Commercial Environment Required for the Transmission of Advance Ocean and Rail Cargo Information

Various U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations require the transmission of advance cargo information to CBP through a CBP-approved electronic data interchange (EDI) system. CBP recently completed the testing of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for the transmission of advance ocean and rail cargo information. This notice announces that, after a six month transition period, ACE will be the only CBP-approved EDI for submitting required advance information for ocean and rail cargo.

• How the Web Affects the Information Environment

Hindman et al. undertake a large-scale survey of the political content available online, involving iterative crawling away from political sites easily accessible through popular online search tools, and using sophisticated automated methods to categorize site content. As Sciadas puts it, key outcomes of ICTs are manifested in shifting behavioural patterns everywhere, with real consequences. Wellman and Hogan discuss how the use of the Internet affects traditional social and communal behaviors, such as communication with local family and commitment to geographical communities. Quan-Haase et al. remark that as the Internet is incorporated into the routine practices of everyday life, social capital is becoming augmented and more geographically dispersed.

• The Information-Seeking Behavior of Youth in the Digital Environment

The theory of Radical Change, which is based on the digital age principles of interactivity, connectivity, and access, is suggested as a lens to reexamine existing research on youth information-seeking behavior in the digital environment. After a brief review of research meta-analyses, which often point to deficits in youth information-seeking behavior, questions that emerge from this research are suggested. Meta-analyses of gender and information behavior studies find that some recent research disputes former conclusions. Radical Change is applied to an examination of specific facets of contemporary research in order to demonstrate how new perspectives can be gained. This analysis addresses commonalities between information-seeking behavior related to the handheld book with hypertextua...

• Due Diligence in the Distressed Organization

Due diligence is a fact-finding mission or investigative exercise designed to provide the information required to meet a specific goal or objective. Typically, it is used when a business is involved in a purchase or sale or requires financing. However, distressed organizations also require due diligence to address the decision to attempt a turnaround or to liquidate the organization. Most organizations move along a continuum. At one end is the custodial environment of a relatively healthy or robust organization. At the other is distress or even crisis. There are many points in between, and they are not static. The organization in decline represents a special challenge to the process of due diligence. It is a harsh, extreme, ambiguous and exigent environment. In this setting, time is sho...
