This document summarizes some key differences between K-12 school libraries, academic college libraries, and public libraries. It notes that school libraries are only open during the school day and have smaller collections arranged by Dewey Decimal, while college libraries stay open later and longer during exams, have collections tailored to campus courses/research, and may use Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress classification. College libraries also typically have multiple service desks and larger collections than K-12 libraries.

Two key aspects of historical research are historiography and the use of primary sources. Historiography examines how historians' views have changed over time, and reviewing these changes helps students understand different perspectives on historical events. Primary sources like eyewitness accounts and documents from the time period are extremely valuable for understanding history through the eyes of those who lived it. A thorough historical work analyzes both historiography and primary sources to avoid being considered merely popular history based on assumptions.

This document discusses the importance of historiography and primary sources in historical research. It explains that historiography is the study of how historians' views have changed over time. Primary sources such as first-hand accounts and documents are crucial for understanding history through the eyes of those who lived it. The example is given of historians' changing views on the founding fathers and slavery. The document stresses that reviewing historiography and using primary sources is necessary for rigorous historical work.
Ready reference
This document discusses ready reference, which are reference questions that can be answered quickly from a single source. It defines ready reference and the types of materials used, such as directories, almanacs, yearbooks, handbooks and manuals.

Primary vs Secondary Sources
This presentation provides a short introduction to the differences between primary and secondary sources. This is aimed at teaching history undergraduates how to use primary sources for their historical research.
Primary and Secondary Sources
The document discusses the differences between primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are original materials created during or shortly after an event by direct participants or observers, such as letters, diaries, oral histories, government documents, photographs, and artifacts. Secondary sources are accounts created after an event that interpret and analyze primary sources, such as books, articles, documentaries, and reference works. Examples are provided of both primary and secondary sources to illustrate the distinction. A series of questions then tests the reader's ability to identify whether examples given are primary or secondary sources.

Power to the Users (and Librarians)
The development of better library information systems will always remain the core business of any serious library organization, but a shift took place towards (freely) available web-based tools for creating and managing the information workflow.
End-users are not only using these heavily, but are also creating their own preferred tools. Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments. Tomorrow's academic staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment. Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating their services and resources into our patrons' environments.
This practical workshop will demonstrate the use of Web 2.0 technology to empower users and librarians. During a hands-on session, participants will work with these tools. They will develop tailor-made services via personal start page software like Netvibes, making use of RSS-feeds, Widgets and Browser extensions.
We will explore the use of Netvibes and Web 2.0 tools in library staff and/or library user education/instruction. We will focus on library services which can be created almost on-the-fly with low costs and high impact. The growing use of social networks justifies the development of a library presence within these networks to reach out to our users.

Martin Carnoy PLenary comment by Elsbeth
This document summarizes a study comparing factors affecting learner achievement in mathematics education between Botswana and South Africa. Some key findings are that Botswana learners scored higher on mathematics tests and had more lessons compared to South Africa. The quality of teachers, their mathematics knowledge and pedagogical skills differed between the countries as did opportunities for students to learn the curriculum. The study recommends increasing instructional time in mathematics, improving teacher training, developing a culture of mathematics, and monitoring implementation of reforms rather than simply increasing resources.
