Bruce, Student at University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Instructor: Dorothy Grimsley) The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer. Simon & Schuster (Atheneum Books for Young Readers), 2004. 459 p. Summary This exciting fantasy takes place during the Viking raids of the Anglo-Saxons in the late 700s. Eleven-year-old Jack lives the simple life of a farm boy along with his younger sister, Lucy and their parents. Jack catches the eye of the local Bard, Dragon Tongue, who recruits him as his apprentice. The Bard teaches Jack about magic, the mysterious Northmen, the Jotun trolls, and far away lands. Jack’s life is going well under the tutelage of the Bard until the Northmen come to raid his village. Jack and Lucy are whisked away by the Northmen’s Berserkers and enslaved by their terrible leader, Olaf One-Brow. The two kidnapped children are unwilling participants in adventures on the high seas. During the voyage, Jack proves to be no common slave when he discovers that he possesses some magical powers and the ability to talk to animals. Jack’s use of magic helps to save the lives of his shipmates during many dangerous encounters. Jack and Lucy eventually escape the clutches of Olaf but only to find themselves stranded in Jotunheim, the land of the trolls.

  • Knowledge River: a Case Study of a Library and Information Science Program Focusing on Latino and Native American Perspectives
    Knowledge River: A Case Study of a Library and Information Science Program Focusing on Latino and Native American Perspectives Patricia Montiel-Overall and Sandra Littletree Abstract This article discusses the development of Knowledge River, a pro- gram at the University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science established through several Institute of Mu- seum and Library Services grants designed to recruit Latino and Native American students to the library and information science (LIS) profession. Knowledge River (KR) was designed as a national model for increasing diversity in information organizations and LIS programs. The article describes the KR model and elements of the program that have increased its success. Included are participation in a residential cohort, real-world library work experiences, and formal mentoring by KR graduates and other ethnic minorities in the field. Knowledge River has served as a catalyst for increasing awareness of diversity issues and multiple perspectives in addressing issues in the LIS field. Knowledge River has also resulted in a requirement that all LIS students enroll in at least one diversity course. This article also provides a retrospective analysis of the KR model and presents a theoretical framework for developing future LIS diversity programs such as KR. Introduction Historically, library and information science professionals have primarily reflected mainstream populations. However, changing demographics in the United States have resulted in rethinking how library and informa- tion science (LIS) services are delivered and who delivers them. To ac- complish diversification of the LIS profession Wheeler (2005) explains that “librarians must possess a level of cultural competency that enables them to function successfully and to provide effective information services LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol.

POWELL Assistant University Librarian UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 1966 - 1967 Summary COLLECTIONS A total of57,656 items processed during the year brings the Library's holdings to 1,161,526 of which 1.61i,729 are hard-bound volumes. The balance of 696,797 items includes government documents, maps, micro-forms, and other non-book materials. Expenditures from all sources for library materials came to a record $1171,050. The large special funds obtained for the Library during the past two years have been most helpful. These special funds plus those obtained specifi- cally for Latin American purchases and some NDEA funds provided by certain departments have brought our book budget close to half a million dollars. However, all this and more will be required in the next and following years as current and developing University programs require increasingly heavy purchase of current and retrospective foreign language materials, monographie and serial, as well as some retrospective domestic items. Lager budgets will be needed to enable us to come even close to meeting the needs of students, faculty, and staff.While a few allotments for purchases for departments were not used up, most such allotments were fullyspent by mid- year, and for all practical purposes departmental orderswere reduced to a mere trickle by April.

The fifteen member committee narrowed the list from over 900 submissions to 203 official nominations meeting the criteria of both good literary quality and popular reading appeal for teens, ages 12-18. Over ninety teens attended a special session to share their opinions with the committee. The winning titles include many multicultural books, adult books, and books from small and foreign presses. Two titles with graphic novel components and a fiction title with significant color artwork add visual appeal to the list. Eleven books received a unanimous vote from the committee: Feed by M. T. Anderson, a cautionary tale about an overly-commercial future; Overboard by Elizabeth Fama, a fictionalized survival story of shipwreck victims off the coast of Sumatra; The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, in which Matt, a clone of 142- year-old drug lord El Patron, wonders what the future holds for him; Out of
