Topics covered identifying research topics in technical services; finding time to write; choosing topics; finding and Christina Bellinger, University of using the right style for a topic; the essentials of copyright for New Hampshire authors; and the benefits of writing and publishing. I spoke Tschera Harkness Connell, Ohio on grammar and punctuation, which (though not the most State University compelling topic) is one of the most critical aspects of writing well and getting Trisha L. Davis, Ohio State published. One reward of being part of a group presenting at a preconference University is the opportunity to spend time with one’s colleagues. Over dinner the evening Magda A. El-Sherbini, Ohio State before the presentations, we entertained each other with stories of egregious University writing and editing faux pas. Editors have a wacky sense of humor. Take care in Karla L. Hahn, Association of your writing not to be the cause of editors’ and readers’ amusement. Research Libraries As LRTS begins volume 50, I am going to give potential authors some Sara C. Heitshu, University of advice. I want to encourage, not intimidate, you, but I do want to stress three Arizona important aspects of writing for publication. First, conduct your research with Sue Kellerman, Pennsylvania State rigor. Second, write clearly and document your sources carefully. Third, pay University attention to LRTS’s style and the types of papers that are published. The research process involves identifying a research question, conducting a Shirley J. Lincicum, Western Oregon University literature search, designing a research project, gathering data, analyzing results, and writing a report. Several resources can help with this process. I recommend Bonnie MacEwan, Auburn Qualitative Research for the Information Professional: A Practical Handbook University by G. E. Gorman and Peter Clayton (London: Facet, 2003) and Basic Research Norman S. Medeiros, Haverford Methods for Librarians, 4th ed., by Ronald R.

Some are basic primers, others focus on Washington University specific aspects of good prose. A few of my favorites are Under the Grammar Linda L.

These libraries serve not only their local legal communities but also pro se litigants. This is especially true of government libraries, which include state, county, and court libraries. This study focuses on states’ county law libraries, which are frequently autonomous from one another. Would sharing costs, resources, and community knowledge benefit these libraries?

  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

  • Observations on Scholarly Engagement in the 2008 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives Program
    Observations on Scholarly Engagement in the 2008 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives Program Council on Library and Information Resources March 2010 Introduction As defined by CLIR, the “Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” program aims to identify and catalog hidden special collections and archives of “potentially substantive intellectual value that are unknown and inaccessible to scholars.” By providing resources for cataloging key hidden collections and by facilitating the linking of online records, the program also aims “to construct a new research and teaching environment of national importance.” Inherent in the program’s design is a conviction that its success will depend on the ability of the library and archival communities not only to participate actively in the creation of this new environment by processing and cataloging hidden collections, but also by forging new connections with scholars. In a sense, the program is attempting to answer the call of scholars, such as Anthony Grafton, who have written of the pressing need “to bring librarians and scholars, planners and users together…to fashion what we now need … libraries that can regain their place as craft ateliers of scholarship….”1 The “Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” program is aiming ambitiously to help design, populate, and build these new “ateliers of scholarship,” hybrid physical and digital spaces requiring recalibrations of relationships between librarians, archivists, and scholars. Now entering its third grant cycle, the “Hidden Collections” program is continuing to provide a novel opportunity to observe and describe approaches to scholarly engagement as currently practiced within a diverse set of U.S. libraries and archives.

Korean people tried in many ways to establish their own libraries in 20th century. Many library thinkers, intellectuals, and librarians have struggled to build 1 modern libraries in communities or nationwide. Although Korea has a brilliant history of record and print, it has been so hard to establish libraries for the Korean people during last century. The Korean libraries have endured hardships such as Japanese colonialism, Korean War, and military dictatorship. This paper examines the Korean people’s efforts to establish libraries, and it looks into the history of library movement in Korea. And also this paper introduces the recent reading campaigns such as ‘Bookstart’, ‘One Book One City’. With historical lessons suggested in this paper, people may have some insight to make and develop libraries in Korea. 2 1. Introduction Korean public libraries in the 20th Century grew by undergoing history of formidable obstacles.
