  • Books and People. How We Helped the Oldest Library in New York Energize Its Brand While Maintaining Its Distinguished Character
    BERNHARDT FUDYMA DESIGN GROUP Thinking about brands in transition Books and People. How we helped the oldest library in New York energize its brand while maintaining its distinguished character. © 2012 BERNHARDT FUDYMA DESIGN GROUP www.bfdg.com ConteXt GeorGe WashinGton read here In 1754, when there was no library in the city open to the public, the New York Society - a group of civic-minded individuals - formed a library in the belief that a subscription library which anyone could join,* and offering a broad range of books, “would be very useful as well as ornamental to the City.” It opened in a room in the old City Hall and for a century and a half, until the founding of the public library system, was known as ‘the city library.’ Broad Street looking north to Federal Hall. The Library was located on the 2nd floor in the west wing. During the Revolution, the Library’s books were looted by British soldiers occupying Manhattan. Some were torn up to make wadding for rifles and others were sold for rum. After the war a few books that had been stored at St. Paul’s Chapel in lower Manhattan were recovered, and others were found through advertisement. In 1785 when New York became the nation’s capital and Congress occupied the building (then renamed Federal Hall), the Library served as the first Library of Congress and was used by George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr among others. * Membership libraries began in the 18th century in America when societies or groups of individuals joined to purchase books for a commonly run library.

  • Zoo Education
    Bronx Zoo education Guide for Teaching Basic Research Concepts and Skills Introduction This guide is intended as a resource for teaching the concepts and methods of research to students. It will help you show students how to frame questions, then do research to answer them in a systematic and productive way. Research: A Critical Skill The ability to do research well is a critical skill for students growing up in the Information Age. Learning to conduct research teaches important thought processes -- analysis, organization, evaluation and problem solving -- that they will use throughout their lives. Today, television, newspapers, radio, magazines, and the Internet constantly bombard us with more information than anyone can possibly use or remember. Students have at their fingertips the wisdom of the ages and the accumulated knowledge of millions of individuals – as well as an overwhelming amount of misinformation, propaganda and pure nonsense. The ability to sift the important from the irrelevant and to find clear answers in a sea of data has become an important survival skill, one that students will be able to use in almost all aspects of their lives. That is what research is all about. What is Research? Students often think of research as "something scientists do", a complicated and mystifying activity that generally takes place in a laboratory. Depending on which movie they see, research can either lead to wondrous breakthroughs, like time travel, or terrible catastrophes, like giant lizards stomping large cities. Of course, neither one of those scenarios is an accurate picture of real research. In its most basic form, research is asking a question and gathering information to answer it.
