  • Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library
    Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library Audience: Public Library Patrons Grades 4th-7th Designers’ Names: Designed by Marie Cirelli, Gweneth Morton, and Andy Wolverton 1. Rationale for instruction: An information literate student can be defined as “one who accesses information efficiently and effectively, critically evaluates the information, and uses it accurately and creatively” (Grassian and Kaplowitz, 2009, p. 4). With the information explosion on the Internet, it is becoming more difficult and more important to be information literate. The public library can play a vital role in the education of its patrons by offering them the opportunity to learn and master the skills needed to be considered information literate. The mission of a public library is to provide information, support lifelong learning, and enrich the lives of its patrons. Based on experience with the patrons of the library and the mission of the library, an information literacy course for students in grades 4th-7th is being developed as a way to further support our patrons and meet the mission of the library. 2. Goal and objectives: Goal: The learner will understand how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. Objective 1: The learner will apply the I-LEARN model. Objective 2: The learner will locate appropriate sources using the Internet and OPAC. Objective 3: The learner will apply the previously found information. Overview 1. Brief summary of unit: The unit is a three-day program in which students learn how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. The program is structured for a younger age group and focuses on hands-on learning and immediate feedback.

  • The Hour of the Dragon by Robert E
    The Hour of the Dragon By Robert E. Howard Chapter 1: O Sleeper, Awake! THE LONG TAPERS flickered, sending the black shadows wavering along the walls, and the velvet tapestries rippled. Yet there was no wind in the chamber. Four men stood about the ebony table on which lay the green sarcophagus that gleamed like carven jade. In the upraised right hand of each man a curious black candle burned with a weird greenish light. Outside was night and a lost wind moaning among the black trees. Inside the chamber was tense silence, and the wavering of the shadows, while four pairs of eyes, burning with intensity, were fixed on the long green case across which cryptic hieroglyphics writhed, as if lent life and movement by the unsteady light. The man at the foot of the sarcophagus leaned over it and moved his candle as if he were writing with a pen, inscribing a mystic symbol’ in the air. Then he set down the candle in its black gold stick at the foot of the case, and, mumbling some formula unintelligible to his companions, he thrust a broad white hand into his fur-trimmed robe. When he brought it forth again it was as if he cupped in his palm a ball of living fire. The other three drew in their breath sharply, and the dark, powerful man who stood at the head of the sarcophagus whispered: “The Heart of Ahriman!” The other lifted a quick hand for silence. Somewhere a dog began howling dolefully, and a stealthy step padded outside the barred and bolted door.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron the DARK MAN MEN, PART
    REHEAPA Summer Solstice 2012 By Lee A. Breakiron THE DARK MAN MEN, PART ONE The 1980s had seemed a promising time for Robert E. Howard publications and study. Book and fanzine publishing was down from its 70s’ peak, but there had been notable achievements, namely the appearances of Don Herron’s The Dark Barbarian: The Writings of Robert E. Howard ̶ A Critical Anthology (Greenwood, 1984); the journal Cromlech edited by Marc Cerasini and published by Robert M. Price, the latter also publishing a wealth of unseen REH in a slew of chapbooks from Cryptic Publications [1]; Novalyne Price Ellis’s memoir One Who Walked Alone: Robert E. Howard, the Final Years (Grant, 1986); the first book-length critical treatment, Robert E. Howard: Starmont Reader’s Guide #35 (1987) by Cerasini and Charles Hoffman; and two volumes of REH’s Selected Letters (Necronomicon, 1989 and 1991). This seemed to bode well for Howard’s receiving, at long last, the critical acceptance his work deserved, but there would still tough going ahead if it was to transcend its pulpish origins in the eyes of academia. The drive for such recognition was not helped by market manipulation designed to stifle the publication of REH in paperbacks, the flood of pastiches intended to supplant them, the disappointment of two Conan movies with no real connection to Howard’s stories, and the decline in the quality and popularity of Marvel’s Conan comics and magazines. All of these trends would only worsen in the 1990s, exemplified by the abysmal Kull the Conqueror movie in 1997.
