Book excerpt: "On 30 August 1999, East Timorese voted overwhelmingly to become an independent nation in a ballot sponsored by the UN. Following the announcement of the result, occupying Indonesian troops carried out systematic destruction throughout East Timor. Within two weeks, several thousand civilians were murdered (a precise number is unknown), 200,000 were forcibly transported to concentration camps in West Timor and other parts of Indonesia, and most significant infrastructure was destroyed. Books were targeted for destruction. Libraries were systematically burned, amongst them the widely-used university library and the English library in Dili. Private collections of books were targeted, and in notable cases book collections of prominent intellectuals and independence activists were collected on the street, where they were publicly set alight. In villages, schools were systematically destroyed. Action for another library was established in Melbourne in response to these circumstances. Thousands of books were donated by bookstores, libraries, and individuals. They were shipped to Dili in containers, where they now form part of the nascent National University Library of East Timor. The title pages of some books were photographed before the books were sent to East Timor. The artist's book After action for another library, was first produced to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at the Humboldt University, Berlin, 28 August-3 October 2003. Subsequent editions have been produced for exhibitions in which they are presented as stacks of multiples. The second edition, in English and Italian, was produced for System Error: War is a force that gives us meaning, at Palazzo delle Papesse in Siena in 2007. The third edition (and first Surpllus edition), in English only, was published on the occasion of Art of War, at CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, New York, in 2010. The fourth edition, with text in English, Portugese, Timorese and Japanese, was published on the occasion of To the Arts, Citizens!, at Museu de Serralves, Porto, Portugal, 20 November 2010-13 March 2011"--Publisher.

Download or read book Conducting Action Research to Evaluate Your School Library written by Judith Anne Sykes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should teacher librarians or instructional leaders engage in action research to improve their school library and benefit students' learning? This book provides the answers. Teacher librarians need to get directly involved with the research process in the learning commons in order to create actions and strategies that will enhance student learning—and benefit their own professional development as well as demonstrate accountability through their action research efforts. This book provides practical tips and work spaces for educators at the local, state, and national levels, clearly modeling and explaining the process and the tools for conducting action research in a school library setting that will identify the program's strengths and weaknesses. The author coalesces current expert opinions on the topic of action research in the school library environment and highlighting what other teacher librarians in the field have identified as the pros and cons of using the process. Readers are directed to focus on mitigating the "cons" through the use of specific working pages and templates and by initially exploring "five favorite" links, thereby encouraging those who are new to action research to try what might otherwise seem a daunting process. School principals K–12 who read this book will be better equipped to support their teacher librarians and teachers in this important professional process.
Download or read book Libraries and Homelessness written by Julie Ann Winkelstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocating a strategic approach, this book shows how to form a plan, secure funding and support, and create effective programs for adults, children, and youth who are experiencing homelessness. You'll find guidance for creating partnerships, training staff, and advocating. Taking a holistic approach that will help you to better understand the experience of homelessness within the context of your library community, this book offers new strategies and tools for addressing the challenge of meeting the needs of the entire community, including those who are unstably housed. With basic facts, statistics, and conversations about homelessness, the author makes a case for why libraries should provide support, explains exactly which needs they may be able (or unable) to meet, and shows how this support can be a natural part of the library services you already provide. Topics discussed include trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and mental and physical health challenges; brief stories and concrete examples illustrate the principles and guidelines discussed. Citing innovative services such as Dallas Public Library's "coffee and conversation" program and San Francisco Public Library's social worker program, the book offers both food for thought and tools for action as public librarians strive to understand and meet the needs of a population that has traditionally been stereotyped and excluded.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maker learning spaces in schools and public libraries are made real through the narratives of professional librarians around the world, comprising the collaborative activities, experiences, and perspectives of librarians as they have implemented makerspaces for students of all ages.

Contributions from authors around the world address the needs of most all readers, including how to provide the staff training necessary for a successful makerspace.

The successes and optimism shared in this collection will inspire librarians and educators to think positively about how to implement maker learning locations, train staff, and use makerspaces in their libraries and classrooms to promote and share new ideas.
