SP Mount Printing Co. Message from the Board of Library Trustees Eight years ago, the Board of Library Trustees asked the citizens of Cleveland to insure the future of their Main Library by approving a bond issue for needed renovation and expansion. Cleveland responded by passing the November 5, 1991, bond issue with an overwhelming 71% affirmative vote. During this mon- umental, $90-million, three-phase project, Library users and Library staff have been patient as materials Main Library, 1999 and departments have been moved to allow work Main Building, opened May 6, 1925 to progress. Louis Stokes Wing, opened April 12, 1997 In 1997, the first phase of the project was completed when Congressman Louis Stokes helped us dedicate the new wing in his honor. In September 1998, we rededicated the beloved Eastman Reading Garden and it was immediately filled with delighted lunchtime readers. It gives the Board and me great pleasure to mark the completion of this project by reopening the landmark Main Library building to the people of Cleveland. In doing so, we symbolically rededicate the entire Main Library.

Venerine Branham President, Board of Library Trustees © 1999 Cleveland Public Library ISBN 0-9670873-0-9 2 3 Message from the Director Cleveland Public Library was the first large public library to allow people to select their own books directly from its bookshelves. When pioneering librarian William Howard Brett initiated his radical open-shelf plan in 1890, he was working in cramped rental space at the corner of East Ninth Street and Euclid Avenue. The experiment was a dazzling success and became standard policy in public libraries every- where. This democratic ideal of direct access to books and information was a driving influence in the plan- ning for a permanent main library, which was a dream delayed by World War I, rising building costs, and Brett’s untimely death. The opening of the landmark Main Library build- ing on May 6, 1925, placed Cleveland Public Library Main Library, Louis Stokes Wing view from the Mall firmly in the front rank of the world’s great public which are available only in paper form.

Mottl, House of Representatives The Honorable Mary Rose Oakar, House of Representatives The Honorable Louis Stokes, House of Representatives The Honorable Charles A. Vanik, House of Representatives Subject:ERealinement of the Cleveland Defense Contract Administration Service Region](LCD-80-24) You requested that we review the Defense Logistics Agency's decision to merge the Defense Contract Administra- /- tion Service's Cleveland regional office into the Chicago -/regional office. Recent events have eliminated Chicago as a potential location, and as Admiral E. M. Kocher, Assistant Director, Defense Logistics Agency, advised you in his October 16, 1979, letter, the Agency has now decided to locate the consolidated office in Cleveland. The merger of these two offices is part of an overall Department of Defense plan. By reducing the number of Defense Contract Administration Service's regions from nine to five, Defense will reduce overhead and administrative costs and attain a more efficient support structure. The Agency pro- jected that this consolidation could save about $40 million over 5 years, about $18 million attributable to the Cleveland- Chicago consolidation. The Agency also projected that if the consolidated office was located in Chicago, about $1 million more could be saved. On October 11, 1979, our review team provided a briefing on the progress of our work. Our preliminary analysis showed that Chicago was economically more advantageous than Cleveland. However, the estimates and projections contained so many judg- ments and assumptions that a decision could not be based unequivocally on economic factors.

  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

Johnston, Natalie Greene Taylor, Jennifer Moore, Rachel M. Magee, Colette Drouillard, and Joe Sanchez In examining how libraries promote computational thinking for children and young adults, the Libraries Ready to Code (RtC) researchers found a growing interest in offering coding activities in libraries that cultivate computational thinking skills, yet there is a vital need for more graduate-level courses to teach future librarians about designing and implementing these innovative programs. In this panel session, LIS educators, who are also Libraries RtC Phase II participants, will engage the audience in a discussion on transforming and expanding current course offerings for school and youth librarians to better prepare them to promote and develop computational thinking skills.

  • ALA 2013 Midwinter Meeting Chapter Councilor's Report
    MLA Board of Directors and Executive Director, Thank you for allowing me to represent MLA at the 2013 ALA Midwinter Meeting as Chapter Councilor. As Chapter Councilor, I am required to attend all official Council meetings, the ALA- APA meetings, and for this first conference, the New Councilor Orientation session. I also was encouraged to attend the Chapter Council Committee meetings, as well as the forums, which proved very helpful to me in navigating the maze that is ALA governance. I would also like to thank outgoing Chapter Councilor Mary Repczinski, who took the time to share her knowledge and experience. I will summarize the important resolutions and their outcomes here in the first three pages – you can read in more detail the entire proceedings in the rest of my report should you wish. Summary Report ALA Council/Executive Board/Membership Information Session - President Maureen Sullivan informed us that this meeting would now include more executive reports so that time in Council could be spent more productively on issues. Reports given included President, President-Elect, Executive Director, Treasurer, Budget Analysis and Review, Endowment Trustee, and Nominating. Of interest to the MLA Board is the fact that the Nominating Committee, out of 60,000 members, had issues coming up with enough people to run for Member-at-Large. COUNCIL I – Barbara Stripling (President-Elect and 2012-2013 Chair of Committee on Committees) presented nominations for the ALA Executive Board. Keith Michael Fiels, ALA Executive Director, reviewed Executive Board actions since the 2012 Annual Meeting. Major actions included approval of a special trial membership through United for Libraries and approval of the programmatic priorities.
