The information contained in the 7eport is the data ga tin:red at the request of the Commitfec toas'sist in the formulation of a'Statement ,v,f standards of reference service. The study was 'made by the Department. of Library liducation, University of Georgia, through thc cooperation of S. the Ihtivers ity of .Georgi a and the AMeri can Library Association. The Reference Standdrds Committee' has been engaged in devisinga plah to measure the effectiveness of reference.services, in various kilds of libraries in,preparation for Tormulating standards to improve reference services to library users and Prospective library-users. llen the Committee met in Chicago at -the'Midwinter Conference in January of 1,970, .1 the, decision was made to focus the efforts on studying reference services into one specific geographical arca which mfght be considered representa- , tive and to seek funds from the American Library Association to support A the study. The Metropolitan Atlanta Area was selected becauseit'includes in an accessible geographical area the entirerange of; types of .institutions which provide reference services in a sufficiently large ' number to be significant. The Committee felt that throitgh limitation to one geographical area,thepioblem.coula.be studied also irom the point of view of the ser and could be employed to further theReference e Service Division's interest in the importance of the user. Because the Department of Library Education at she University of Georgia is located near to 'the Metropolitan Atlanta Area 'and bpcause graduate students and competent'advisors.were available in that institution to conduct such a project; the committee voted to permit ' 0 64. that departmfmt to Make preparations forthe stTidy.

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

Five community engagement sessions have been scheduled, and anyone seeking the opportunity to provide input is invited to attend, including parents, teachers, and other community members. You are also encouraged to review information from the Georgia Department of Education concerning charter systems, including some of the petitions from other school systems around the state that are already operating as a charter district. That information can be found at the following web address: http://www.gadoe.org/External- Affairs-and-Policy/Charter-Schools/Pages/default.aspx.
