For nearly a decade, as the Cold War reached its twilight, Gordievsky helped the West turn the tables on the KGB, eXposing Russian spies and helping to foil War countless intelligence plots, as the Soviet leadership grew increasingly paranoid at the United States's nuclear first-strike capabilities and brought the world closer to the brink of war.

    MERIDIAN MONITOR MERIDIAN LIBRARY SYSTEM DECEMBER 2006/JANUARY 2007 Your System Board: Developing Effective Technology Plans Ruth Campbell By Kathy Ellerton, Northeast Library System Maxine Erpelding Gail Irwin Penny Jefrrey Mary Koch Laura Martinsen Effective technology plans are short term, not long term. Five year Kristina Owen plans are too long. Technology is changing so fast that it is almost impos- Michelle Self sible to plan what type of technology will be available for use five years Stacy Vogel from now. Even one year plans may now be about as far ahead as effec- Joan Davis, Emeritus tive planning for purchases of certain types or brands of equipment can take place. Do not let a technology plan lock you into old technology and applications just because it says so in the plan. Newer, more powerful, lower cost technology may be available to replace what is specified in an old plan. Effective technology plans focus on applications, not technology. In other words, make your technology plan outcome-based, not input- based. Develop a plan that specifies what users, staff, and administration should be able to do with technology and let those outcomes determine the types and amount of technology your plan requests. Many technology plans are based on numbers of machines...input. Typi- cally, technology committees go before library boards asking for a com- puter lab. The first question board members will ask is, “Why do you need them?” Why not answer that question in the plan? It may be better to go to a library board saying, “This is what we want our patrons to be able to do”...output.

  • Past Campaigns
    PAST CAMPAIGNS 2014 NOT IN HARRY’S NAME Upon learning that Warner Bros. Harry Potter-branded chocolate was being sourced from child slavery in 2008, the Harry Potter Alliance embarked on a campaign demanding Fair Trade chocolate instead. Not in Harry’s Name follows from the belief that products inspired by the series should not be complicit in the injustices it criticizes. The HPA partnered with Free2Work, who determined that the chocolate products had earned an “F” grade for worker conditions that violated human rights. These findings inspired action from hundreds of thousands of fans, from signing petitions to sending letters. The campaign continued for years, with ongoing discussions taking place and contributions from J.K. Rowling, anti-slavery organization Walk Free, and prominent YouTubers. In late December of 2014, the Harry Potter Alliance was notified that Warner Bros. would make all Harry Potter- branded chocolate Fair Trade or Utz certified, marking an unprecedented victory in the realm of fan activism. More information on the development of the campaign can be found here. ODDS IN OUR FAVOR The HPA’s Hunger Games campaign, which made its debut in 2013, returned as the Mockingjay Pt. 1 film neared its release. Odds In Our Favor tackles economic inequality on several level as well as the disparity between the Hunger Games franchise’s poignant content and its vapid, exploitative marketing strategy. The HPA encouraged members to share their stories of economic inequality under the #MyHungerGames hashtag. This social media movement took off rapidly, illuminating the effects of economic inequality on people’s daily lives and magnifying intersections with other forms of inequality.

CROWLEY* INTRODUCTION In the United States, there is a long history of Presidents and other elected officials clashing with the courts.1 These clashes have often been about complex and significant issues, including the role of judicial review in American jurisprudence, slavery, New Deal legislation, and the treatment of Native Americans.2 Presidents choose to attack the judiciary for a number of reasons, but it is not entirely clear where the line should be drawn between legitimate acts of presidential dissent and acts of active hostility meant to undermine the legitimacy of the judiciary.

Andersen: So You Want to Write YA So You Want to Write YA: Social Responsibility and Young Adult Literature by Julia Andersen (English 1102) espite what the uninitiated might assume, there is much more to Young Adult literature than supernatural love triangles; writing quality YA is a difficult and time-consuming task. D Although no one can deny the popularity of titles like Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling Twilight, for example, many a critic has lampooned her flimsy characters and flat writing, and the borderline-abusive relationship between the novel’s main character and her love interest has been thoroughly decried. Meyer’s novel, written in three months, took off in the Young Adult market, but the message she sends to teens about gender roles and relationships is considered by many to be a troubling one. YA authors must consider their impressionable adolescent audience while crafting their story, and take into account young adults’ many and varied needs during a time of intense life changes.

    Shannon M. Young. Gender Bias in the Young Adult Publishing Industry: Too Many “Girly” Books? A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2016. 31 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm. This study describes a content analysis of the cover art of 175 young adult books published within the last four years. The study was done to determine whether or not there is a gender bias in favor of girls in the young adult publishing industry. Educators across the English-speaking world are beginning to notice that teen boys are falling behind their female counterparts in reading, and some claim that this gap is due to lack of reading material for boys. This sample shows that there is a slight bias in favor of girls in young adult publishing, but the difference is not significant enough to support such claims. Headings: Book cover art. Young adult literature. Teenagers—Books & reading. Girls—Books & reading. Boys—Books & reading. GENDER BIAS IN THE YOUG ADULT PUBLISHING INDUSTRY:TOO MANY “GIRLY” BOOKS? by Shannon M.

  • You Had Me at Hello: Examining the Impact of Powerful Introductory Emotional Hooks Set Forth in Appellate Briefs Filed in Recent Hotly Contested U.S
    YOU HAD ME AT HELLO: EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF POWERFUL INTRODUCTORY EMOTIONAL HOOKS SET FORTH IN APPELLATE BRIEFS FILED IN RECENT HOTLY CONTESTED U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS MAUREEN JOHNSON* “You had me at ‘hello.’” We may not have all seen the movie, but we likely have used the phrase.1 A decision is made in an instant—a gut reaction based on some kind of an emotional trigger. Even if the decision later is questioned, the analysis is skewed. Pathos over logos. Once our heart truly has made up its mind, there always is a way to convince our brain that the decision is correct. Such rash decision-making obviously has no place at the Supreme Court. Or does it? This Article posits that powerful emotional hooks set forth in introductory paragraphs in stellar briefs—emotional hooks that often have nothing at all to do with the merits of the case—do certainly play a role in the determination of hotly contested Supreme Court decisions. As a practical matter, there often are two ways to frame an issue legitimately. In this circumstance—when both sides could be correct—why is it surprising that pathos might tip the scales? Of course, we likely never will know what truly swayed a particular justice in any given five-to-four decision, but what we do know is that the “hellos”—the emotional hooks set forth in the introductory paragraphs of briefs—are often showcased front-and-center in the resulting Supreme Court opinion. For this reason alone, a wise appellate practitioner always strives to win both emotionally and intellectually.
