  • A History of Mexican Workers on the Oxnard Plain 1930-1980
    LABOR, MIGRATION, AND ACTIVISM: A HISTORY OF MEXICAN WORKERS ON THE OXNARD PLAIN 1930-1980 By Louie Herrera Moreno III A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chicano/Latino Studies 2012 ABSTRACT LABOR, MIGRATION, AND ACTIVISM: A HISTORY OF MEXICAN WORKERS ON THE OXNARD PLAIN 1930-1980 By Louie Herrera Moreno III First and foremost, this dissertation focuses on the relationship between labor and migration in the development of the City of Oxnard and La Colonia neighborhood. Labor and migration on the Oxnard Plain have played an important part in shaping and constructing the Mexican working-class community and its relationship to the power structure of the city and the agri-business interests of Ventura County. This migration led to many conflicts between Mexicans and Whites. I focus on those conflicts and activism between 1930 and 1980. Secondly, this dissertation expands on early research conducted on Mexicans in Ventura County. The Oxnard Plain has been a key location of struggles for equality and justice. In those struggles, Mexican residents of Oxnard, the majority being working- class have played a key role in demanding better work conditions, housing, and wages. This dissertation continues the research of Tomas Almaguer, Frank P. Barajas, and Martha Menchaca, who focused on class, race, work, leisure, and conflict in Ventura County. Thirdly, this dissertation is connected to a broader history of Mexican workers in California. This dissertation is influenced by important research conducted by Carey McWilliams, Gilbert Gonzalez, Vicki Ruiz, and other historians on the relationship between labor, migration, and activism among the Mexican working-class community in Southern California.

  • High-Speed Broadband in California Public Libraries an Update on the First Nine Months
    Lighting Up Libraries High-speed Broadband in California Public Libraries An Update on the First Nine Months April 2, 2015 Greg Lucas, State Librarian of California EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In just the first nine months of the governor and the Legislature’s “Lighting Up Libraries” initiative, 53 library jurisdictions with 389 individual libraries – about one-third of the state’s public libraries – are poised to dramatically increase their bandwidth while cutting their monthly service charges by nearly two-thirds. By 2020, all of California’s 1,112 public libraries will have connectivity worthy of a state known worldwide for its innovation. A needs assessment conducted two years ago by the State Library – http://www.library.ca.gov/lds/docs/Public_Library_Broadband_Assessment_2014. pdf – found that nearly two-thirds of public libraries operate at “slow” or “very slow” speeds. In many places in California, private residences have significantly better connectivity for far few users. Improving public library bandwidth – “Lighting Up Libraries” – is a statewide game changer. Better bandwidth allows public libraries to truly be community information hubs, connecting the more than 21 million Californians with library cards to the essential online resources necessary for 21st Century digital citizenship. “Lighting Up Libraries” will mean patrons can enjoy speedier, more productive sessions on terminals – potentially shortening the lines that exist in many libraries waiting for a free screen. “Lighting Up Libraries” will also allow video-conferencing and streaming media, let librarians and patrons create content as well as boost wireless access. Libraries will be able to collaborate with each other on digital offerings and engage with arts, cultural, research and education institutions throughout the state – and beyond.
