' DoNNA G. DAvis, Security Problems in College and University Libraries: Student Violence NEW EDITION OF AID HAS 90% MORE TERMS AID-3 is a strikingly new work that promises to be even more valuable than its heavily consulted predecessors. This reliable reference source contains over 80,000 entries, almost twice as many as the second AID. Since page size has been increased to 8W' x 11" with two columns to the page, nearly four times more terms are scannable on each page. Issues of New Acronyms and lnitialisms. supplements to A/0-3, are planned for 1971 and 1972; each issue of NAI will add about 12.500 new entries. (Supplements are paperbound; $15.00 each.) COVERAGE OF SPECIALIZED FIELDS MORE EXTENSIVE The great advances made recently in such fields as data processing. aerospace technology, and military affairs have prompted the creation of numerous acronyms for new projects and equipment. A The Apollo moonflights. for cronyms instance, introduced many new terms which were unknown when the second AID was And published five years ago. These include BIG- Biological Isolation Garment; LOI-Lunar lnl•ti.BII.SmS Orbit Insertion; and SRT -Sample Rock Container. Examples of other fresh material in o• t• AID-3 are the Motion Picture Association I c I 0 nary ratings (X. GP. etc.); the official Post Office two-letter designations for states; and the -New Edition a_bbreviations for hundreds of religious orders. "PREFABRICATED" TERMS GAIN POPULARITY If they are to be successful. current projects. movements, and other types of activities must be quickly identified by the public. To achieve this end. eye-catching acronyms are often coined first and then fleshed out with more-or-less appropriate words. AID-3 presents many new examples of this type of acronym. For example. from the fields of ecology and conservation come such terms as GOO-Get Oil Out; YUK-Youth Uncovering Krud; and ENACT -Environmental Action. The great sex e~ucation debate has given birth to MOMS-Mothers for Moral Stability; SOS­ Sa.nity on Sex; and POSSE-Parents Opposed to Sex and Sensitivity Training. ENTRIES REFLECT CONTEMPORARY CONCERNS All of modern man's interests. aims. and problems are represented in the many new entries in AID-3 that refer to social and political groups and developments. For example, the flourishing Women's Liberation Movement has fostered such groups as NOW-National Organization for Women ; POWER-Professionals Organized for Women's Equal Rights; and OWL-Older Women's Liberation. Those opposed to the Movement have banded together to form such organizations as THEN-Those Hags Encourage Neuterism; WOW-Women Our Wonders; and MOM-Men Our Masters. These sample entries indicate the timely, essential nature of the vast amount of information contained in AID-3.

Introduction The formation and subsequent actions of the Nazi government left a devastating and indelible impact on Europe and the world. In the midst of general technological and social progress that has occurred in Europe since the Enlightenment, the Nazis represent one of the greatest social regressions that has occurred in the modern world. Despite the development of a generally more humanitarian and socially progressive conditions in the western world over the past several hundred years, the Nazis instigated one of the most diabolic and genocidal programs known to man. And they did so using modern technologies in an expression of what historian Jeffrey Herf calls “reactionary modernism.” The idea, according to Herf is that, “Before and after the Nazi seizure of power, an important current within conservative and subsequently Nazi ideology was a reconciliation between the antimodernist, romantic, and irrantionalist ideas present in German nationalism and the most obvious manifestation of means ...modern technology.” 1 Nazi crimes were so extreme and barbaric precisely because they incorporated modern technologies into a process that violated modern ethical standards. Nazi crimes in the context of contemporary notions of ethics are almost inconceivable.

  • Library Media Services Providing Service and Leadership for the 21St Century
    Library Media Services Providing service and leadership for the 21st Century San Diego County Office of Education, 2011 ABSTRACT This is a white paper outlining the need for renewed and re-envisioned library media services for San Diego County Schools. The mandates, research and recommendations for school library services and new opportunities to receive information technologies via the Digital Content Portal are presented. San Diego County Office of Education LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES TRANSFORMING LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES: THE NEED, THE CHALLENGE California ranks 51st in the nation with regard to ratio of teacher librarians to students. Research has shown that access to school library services under the direction of a librarian or library teacher increases student achievement. California Education Code (EC) Section 18101: “The State Board of Education shall adopt standards, rules and regulations for school library services.” County offices are asked to support school libraries by providing access to library materials and the services of a professional librarian or library teacher for those districts that can’t afford to support their own library program. Need for alignment of services to Common Core State Standards, Model School Library Standards, and National Educational Technology Standards. The nature of library services is changing—the question is what to change and what to retain. Funding for school library services has decreased significantly in the past 20 years. San Diego county schools need library programs that will support the Common Core Standards. Limited funding combined with changes in technology have led to a plan of updating how SDCOE cost effective and current library services are provided.

Die doppelte 750-Jahr-Feier in Ost- und West-Berlin Krijn Thijs * Berlin gehörte lange Zeit zu den umstrittensten Städten der Welt. Das hängt nicht zuletzt mit der Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts zusammen, die sich weit über Deutschland hinaus als ein Ringen dreier politischen Gesellschasordnungen erzäh- len lässt: des Faschismus, des Kommunismus und der freiheitlichen Demokratie (1). Jedes dieser Systeme schuf sein eigenes Berlin. Sie prägten die Stadt durch Archi- tektur und Planung, durch die Bindung und Beeinflussung der jeweiligen Stadt- bevölkerung und durch öffentliche Ereignisse und Selbstdarstellungen. Zu diesen letzteren, im politisch-kulturellen Bereich anzusiedelnden Repräsentationen zählen die Feierlichkeiten zu drei auffälligen städtischen Geburtstagen. Denn mehr oder weniger zufällig inszenierte jedes der drei genannten Systeme ein eigenes Berliner Stadtjubiläum.
