The U.S. Congress established the Library of Congress in 1800—less than a decade before the birth of Abraham Lincoln on Feb. 12, 1809. Two centuries later, the nation’s library marked the bicentennial of the birth of the 16th president—whose papers it houses and preserves— with the nation’s major exhibition of the original versions of his most famous speeches along with a scholarly symposium and the placement in the Library of a time capsule containing reflections about Lincoln by members of the 111th Congress. The Library continued to provide Congress with legislative research and analysis through the Congressional Research Service, the Law Library and the U.S. Copyright Office. Through a collaborative effort to digitize “at-risk” brittle books, the Library is making available online rare American imprints. In 2009, we digitized the 25,000th volume—The Heroic Life of Lincoln—a children’s biography published in 1902. Through another partnership to preserve the nation’s newspapers, more than 1 million pages were made accessible on the “Chronicling America” website, which includes accounts of such historic events as Lincoln’s assassination. The Library continued its unique leadership role in acquiring, preserving and making accessible important digital material. It now works with 170 partners in 44 states to implement the con- gressionally established National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program, which preserves “born-digital” collections. The Library moved from national to international leadership in launching the World Digital Library at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris on April 21, 2009. This project makes available on the Internet, free of charge, significant primary materi- als in various formats that include examples from all 193 countries of the United Nations. Since its placement in the Library by Congress in 1870, the U.S. Copyright Office has allowed the Library to preserve the closest approximation of the mint record of American creativity for more than two centuries. Through the deposit copy system, we continue to transfer nearly 1 mil- lion items annually to the Library’s collection. The Library’s gifted and dedicated staff members continued to acquire, catalog, preserve and provide access to a collection of some 145 million items in 460 languages. The collec- tions are now housed in three buildings on Capitol Hill, and in special climate-controlled facilities for books at Fort Meade, Md., and for audiovisual materials at Culpeper, Va. More than 19 million items from the Library’s collections are accessible on its award-winning website at www.loc.gov. Many of these items can be identified through a Passport to Knowl- edge, a tool for exploring the world’s largest library, on a personalized website at myLOC.gov. These and other Library activities and accomplishments are described in this report. None of this would have been possible without the continued support of the Congress, which has been, quite simply, the greatest patron of a library in history. Sincerely, James H.

  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

S AS WE RECALL The Growth of Agricultural Estimates^ 1933-1961 L M Brooks Statistical Reporting s Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Washington, D.C As We Recall, THE GROWTH OF AGRICULTURAL ESTIMATES, 1933-1961 U.S. OEPÎ. or AGRlCUtTURE NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL UBRARY OECIT CATALOGmC PREP E. M. Brooks, Statistical Reporting Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture 1977 I FOREWORD The Statistical Reporting Service, as with any organization, needs to know its past to understand the present and appraise the future. Accordingly, our technical procedures are peri- ^odically set forth in ''Scope and Methods of the Statistical Reporting Service," and the agency's early development and program expansion were presented in "The Story of Agricultural Estimates." However, most important are the people who de- veloped this complex and efficient statistical service for agriculture and those who maintain and expand it today. Dr. Harry C. Trelogan, SRS Administrator, 1961-1975, arranged for Emerson M. Brooks to prepare this informal account of some of the people who steered SRS's course from 1933 to 1961. The series of biographical sketches selected by the author are representative of the people who helped develop the per- sonality of SRS and provide the talent to meet challenges for accurate and timely agricultural information. This narrative touching the critical issues of that period and the way they'^ were resolved adds to our understanding of the agency and helps maintain the esprit de corps that has strengthened our work since it started in 1862. Our history provides us some valuable lessons, for "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." W.

  • Promoting Equity in Children's Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical
    Volume 12, 2009 Approved December 2009 ISSN: 1523-4320 www.ala.org/aasl/slr Promoting Equity in Children’s Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical Race Theory Framework to Examine Transitional Books Sandra Hughes-Hassell, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Heather A. Barkley, MLS, School Library Media Coordinator, Dixon Road Elementary School, Willow Spring, North Carolina. Elizabeth Koehler, Master's Student, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of this study was to examine books that support transitional readers to determine the representation of people of color. The findings were analyzed using critical race theory (CRT), a theoretical framework that places race at the center of educational research and discourse. The results indicate that despite the increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the United States, children of color are rare in transitional books. Even rarer are authors of color. The authors conclude that this lack of representation of people of color in transitional books is a subtle form of racism that denies children of color the kinds of resources research suggests they need to become motivated, engaged, and proficient readers. In the tradition of CRT, the article closes by offering nine strategies school librarians can employ to promote equity in literacy instruction for children of color. “Who says black boys won’t read?”— Sharon Flack, 2007 Introduction Reading scores among African American, Hispanic, and American Indian fourth graders significantly lag behind those of White and Asian American children.

  • The Washington Times
    The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Perils of state-owned news outlets By Richard W. Rahn THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published June 5, 2003 If the federal government suddenly announced it had acquired the New York Times and now was going to force taxpayers to subsidize it, how would you react? Furthermore, assume you were told they would keep the same left-leaning editorial personnel and practices. Most Americans would be justifiably outraged because they would understand they were being forced to pay for political propaganda they may disagree with; that the government-subsidized paper had an unfair advantage over its private sector competitors; and that the paper could be used by political authorities for their own advantage. In fact, these same arguments are equally valid against the government-owned Corporation for Public Broadcasting and its subsidiary, National Public Radio (NPR). NPR has a well-known and documented left-wing political bias with views almost identical to that of the New York Times. NPR has a strong advantage over its private sector competitors because it receives the government subsidy and tax-deductible, private contributions to its operations. Advocates for NPR often claim conservatives have more talk radio hosts with bigger audiences so, even if NPR has a leftist bias, it is not a danger. However, there is a fundamental difference. If you do not like Rush Limbaugh, you can boycott his sponsors by not buying their products. If you do not like NPR and try to boycott its sponsor (the federal government) by withholding your taxes, you can be sent to jail.
