With generous support from Congress, the Library further Ideveloped its security in a climate of heightened alert while continuing to carry out its mission of sustaining, preserving, and making accessible its universal collections. The Congressional Research Service and the Law Library provided Congress with the most current research and analysis relevant to the war on terrorism, homeland security, and many other issues of national and international concern. Congress entrusted the Library of Congress with leading the e∑ort to preserve the nation’s digital resources. On September 30, 2004, the Library’s National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) advanced the goals of this cooperative digital preservation program by announcing awards totaling $13.9 million to eight lead institutions and their partners for identifying, collecting, and preserving historically important digital material. As the first formal NDIIPP partners, those institutions have agreed to identify, collect, and preserve at-risk “born- digital” materials that are of significant cultural and historical value to the nation. Thomas Je∑erson’s diverse and wide-ranging personal library, pictured in the Library’s Rare Book and Special Collections Division, is the core of the Library of Congress’s collections. vii The Library made history on November 5, 2003, when it presented the inaugural John W. Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Human Sciences to Polish philosopher and historian Leszek Kolakowski. Made possible by President John W. Kluge of Metromedia, the $1 million Kluge Prize recognizes lifetime achievement in the humanities and is comparable to the Nobel Prizes in literature and economics. Our Library Services continued to perform the many functions of a national library—collection development, cataloging, preservation, and outreach—as well as an international leadership role in developing online reference services. As part of a State Department e∑ort, a Library Services team visited Baghdad in October 2003 to assess war damage to the National Library of Iraq and the House of Manuscripts. The team—consisting of the Library’s Arab area specialist, the chief of the Anglo-American Acquisitions Division, and a preservation specialist— documented its findings in a report that is accessible on the Library’s Web site at http://www.loc.gov/rr/amed/iraqreport/iraqreport.html. The Copyright O≈ce continued to develop business process improvements to streamline its operations and to facilitate the registration of an increasing number of digital works. During the year, the Copyright O≈ce registered more than 660,000 copyright claims and transferred more than 1 million items to the Library’s collections. The Library—the world’s largest and most comprehensive repository of human knowledge—shares its resources globally, as well as locally, through its award- winning Web site. Building on its popular American Memory and America’s Library Web sites, which now contain more than 9.2 million items of American history and culture for scholars and researchers, as well as for children and families, the Library continued to enhance its Global Gateway site with a growing number of links to its unparalleled international resources. Use of the system has increased exponentially over the past decade, with more than 3.3 billion hits recorded last year. In fiscal 2004, the size of the Library’s collection grew to more than 130 million items, including more than 29.5 million cataloged books and other printed materials, 58 million manuscripts, 14 million microforms, 4.8 million maps, more than 5 mil- lion items in the music collection, nearly 14 million visual materials, 2.7 million audio materials, and more than 1 million items in miscellaneous formats. With the generous support of Congress, the Library continued to fill new storage units at Fort Meade, Maryland, and Culpeper, Virginia. By year’s end, more than 1 million items had been transferred to the Fort Meade facility, filling Module 1 nearly viii to capacity. Construction on Module 2 began during the year, with completion expected in the spring of 2005. Planning continued for the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia. Generously funded by the Packard Humanities Institute and supported by Congress, the facility will eventually house the Library’s recorded sound, videotape, safety film, and nitrate film collections. While sustaining the Library’s unparalleled collection for the benefit of current and future generations of lawmakers and their constituents, the Library’s permanent sta∑ of 4,120 employees—its most valuable asset—accomplished the many initiatives described in this report.

  • Alfred Nicol Interviewed by Christine Yurick
    Alfred, there is little information available about your background (family, childhood, etc.). Is there a reason for that or would you be willing to share some with me? I was born in 1956, the second of my parents’ four children, whose births followed a pattern: girl, boy, girl, boy. My parents were working-class French- Canadian people from large families. My mother was the next-to-youngest in a family of twelve children; my father had eight brothers and sisters. Nearly all of the socializing my parents did was with family members. When I was a young boy, my playmates were my cousins. Neither my mother nor my father had much education. She completed her eight years at the Catholic elementary school which I later attended, Sacred Heart School in Amesbury, Massachusetts; after that, she worked at a hat factory and took care of her elderly mother. My father did not even make it through elementary school. He was asked to leave class for misbehavior in the sixth grade and he never returned. He did attend a technical high school later on, where he studied mechanical drafting. He took a job in a sheet metal shop, where he was made foreman and worked until his retirement. His co-workers had great respect for him. When I was old enough to work summers at the shop, they would tell me, whatever I might accomplish, I would never be as intelligent as my father. I liked hearing that. Though my mother claimed to have never read a book all the way through—it hurt her eyes, she said—she was a regular contributor to “Confidential Chat,” a women’s forum printed in The Boston Globe.

  • 2017 Abstracts
    Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

  • Congressional Oversight Manual
    Congressional Oversight Manual Frederick M. Kaiser Specialist in American National Government Walter J. Oleszek Senior Specialist in American National Government Todd B. Tatelman Legislative Attorney June 10, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30240 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Congressional Oversight Manual Summary The Congressional Research Service (CRS) developed the Congressional Oversight Manual over 30 years ago, following a three-day December 1978 Workshop on Congressional Oversight and Investigations. The workshop was organized by a group of House and Senate committee aides from both parties and CRS at the request of the bipartisan House leadership. The Manual was produced by CRS with the assistance of a number of House committee staffers. In subsequent years, CRS has sponsored and conducted various oversight seminars for House and Senate staff and updated the Manual as circumstances warranted. The last revision occurred in 2007. Worth noting is the bipartisan recommendation of the House members of the 1993 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress (Rept. No. 103-413, Vol. I): [A]s a way to further enhance the oversight work of Congress, the Joint Committee would encourage the Congressional Research Service to conduct on a regular basis, as it has done in the past, oversight seminars for Members and congressional staff and to update on a regular basis its Congressional Oversight Manual. Over the years, CRS has assisted many members, committees, party leaders, and staff aides in the performance of the oversight function, that is, the review, monitoring, and supervision of the implementation of public policy.

The award comes with a prize of 10,000 USD provided by the H.W. Wilson Foundation and will be presented at a reception in Washington D.C. in June. This is the first time GVPL has won this prestigious international award. GVPL received the award for the Change Your Mind campaign, an integrated marketing campaign that encourages people to change their minds about what they think they know about the library and literally change their minds by using the library and reading, watching, listening and learning. “This campaign reaches beyond our traditional user base and beyond library walls,” says Maureen Sawa, GVPL CEO. “Conversation about discovery, curiosity and human potential are taking place in coffee shops, on social media, on the bus and wherever people connect. Libraries have always changed minds, and I am proud GVPL’s promotion has succeeded in changing people’s minds about libraries.” “The power of libraries to make a significant impact on people’s lives is unique, says Deborah Begoray, GVPL Board Chair. “This campaign shows how libraries transform communities making them stronger, more resilient and more inclusive.” The Change Your Mind campaign includes custom graphics featuring a friendly brain, in-branch signage, and a web and social media presence all designed by in-house staff.
