(327663795) importance of school library and organisation ranjithkumarbs
The document discusses the importance of school libraries and their organization. It notes that school libraries serve as learner-oriented spaces that support and extend the school's curriculum. They provide resources and access to information for students, staff, and parents. The library needs a qualified librarian to properly maintain resources and guide students. It also requires organization systems to efficiently store and locate materials, which are divided into subject-focused departments overseen by both professional librarians and paraprofessionals. While internet access provides information, school libraries continue to be important spaces that support focused learning and study.

This document discusses how political campaigns can utilize social media engagement. It addresses three target audiences that campaigns should focus on: the base, the media, and voters. The base are a campaign's supporters who can help engage others online and get out the vote. Nurturing the base through strong messaging and personal contact grows support. The media can help set the agenda if a campaign feeds them positive and negative information about opponents. Voters are reached indirectly through advertisements and directly through conversations online. While social media alone does not win elections, it is a useful tool to support campaign efforts when used to engage these three target audiences.
Federalism involves the sharing of power between the federal/national government and state governments. Some key aspects of federalism include:
1) The federal government has expressed powers that are specifically enumerated in the Constitution like coining money and regulating interstate commerce. It also has implied powers that are suggested though not expressly stated, like establishing a national bank.
2) States have reserved powers over areas not given to the federal government like education, welfare, and family law.
3) Both the federal and state governments have concurrent powers like taxation and establishing courts. The Supremacy Clause establishes that federal authority overrides state authority.

Samoan library, Australian librarian: connecting people and libraries through...Susanne Newton
The document discusses the state of libraries in Samoa. It notes that a recent tsunami destroyed five primary schools on the south coast of Samoa. The recovery process is underway but supporting Samoa's libraries is important for education, literacy, and equal access to information. There are approximately 50 libraries in Samoa but only 10 qualified librarians and limited internet access. Challenges facing Samoan libraries include lack of funding, materials in the Samoan language, unskilled library workers, and vulnerability to natural disasters. The author is serving as a librarian at the National University of Samoa through the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development program.
The document discusses the purpose and functions of school libraries. School libraries aim to ensure all students, staff, and parents have equal access to books, reading materials, information, and technology resources. They serve as learning laboratories that support and extend the school's curriculum. School librarians collaborate with teachers to provide educational opportunities and help students access information for schoolwork and independent learning. An effective school library requires resources like books, media, computers, and a librarian to guide students.

Libraries and teacher librarians play a key role in helping students achieve standards related to skills like reading, research, analysis, and evaluation. Several landmark studies from the 1960s to the 1990s found that academic achievement is higher in schools that have a centralized library with a large collection, a professional librarian who collaborates with teachers, and invest more in resources beyond textbooks. When libraries are well-resourced with materials, technology, and staffing, test scores can be expected to be 10-20% higher.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

Editor's Notes
Today is International Volunteers’ Day. No other day could have been better for me to tell you about the 5 months I spent last year working in a high school library in Vanuatu. I experienced a variety of challenges, and I wanted to share these with you and the stories of how I overcame them. This is how it came about.By early 2007 I had spent the last two and a half years working for a library software company and it was time to do something else. I had always wanted to make a difference, to give something back to the world. In 2006 I visited the only public library in Suva, Fiji and realised how much my skills could assist a library in a developing country. When I saw the volunteer placement for a high school librarian in Vanuatu with the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development Program (AYAD), I applied without a second thought.
AusAID, theAustralian Agency for International Development, provided financial support for repairing and upgrading educational infrastructure.
The Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development (AYAD) program is an Australian Government AusAID supported initiative that aims to strengthen mutual understanding between Australia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and make a positive contribution to development.The Program achieves these aims by placing skilled 18 to 30 year old Australians (one more reason to apply for the job, I was 28 and a half)short-term assignments in developing countries in the Asia Pacific region. AYAD volunteers work with local counterparts in Host Organisations to achieve sustainable development outcomes through capacity building, skills transfer and institutional strengthening.
Before I applied for the assignment I had read the job description many times. I made the decision that the skills I had would be a perfect fit for the role. I thought that the two and a half years experience working for SirsiDynix delivering library systems training, in combination with my time in a public library as a children’s and youth services librarian would have prepared me adequately for the challenges of a position such as this one.
The assignment outcomes that had been set out in the assignment description looked achievable. However, it is hard to start work with a new organisation without bringing in a set of predefined expectations…
Lamen Bay, Epi. Airstrip and village can be seen…. Just.
The airport. Runs on solar power.The Market house is often used for community functions. Every Saturday morning a “Mumma’s Market” is held. The market was on earlier and earlier each weekend, depending on when the sun rose. By December, the market was well underway by 5:30 am.Vaimali Hospital - This is one of the better run rural health clinics in Vanuatu. I’m glad I wasn’t ever sick enough to go there.
EPI HIGH SCHOOLGiving is receiving (school motto)Government boarding schoolStudents in years 8-12Educational standards were not as I expected them to be. It is a common occurrence for untrained teachers to work in schools (at least 22%). Many villages survived on subsistence farming, and cash crops were often the only income a community had. Often, people became teachers to bring more money back to their families in the village, or as a way out of the back breaking work in the gardens.The language of instruction was officially English, which is often a third or fourth language for children. French was offered as an optional class for student in the Arts stream. Bislama (‘pidgin’) is the national language and although it is more commonly used in urban areas it was generally used in conversation amongst staff or students. This has an impact on the literacy levels of the students, with many students having lower literacy levels than the National average.
See separate notes page
Another obstacle that would have an impact on how easily the project outcomes could be achieved was the availability of transport.Inter and intra island transport options were limited. Fuel was expensive, around 250 VT a litre (over $3.30) and repairs were time consuming. Often, malfunctioning machinery would be abandoned because no one knew how to fix it.Island roads…..
Island TransportationThe 4 wheel drive trucks (or utes as we’d call them in Australia) are the only form of motorised land transport on Epi. Often, they are run a little like a taxi service, but with the ability to pick up passengers on the way. The trucks commonly had benches in the back for people to sit on.Island RoadsThe only road on Epi was accessible only by 4 wheel drive. After heavy rains, some sections of the road would become impassable. Towards the south of the Island, the road became a walking track.Cargo ShipsThis is the Freedom, I caught this cargo ship from Port Vila to Lamen Bay, Epi. It cost me 4000 VT (around $50) and took around 18 ½ hours. I slept on the floor with all the other ni-Vanuatu women. The only other waetfala to ever catch cargo ships, were peace core volunteers and they are crazy.
Library Monitors2 students from each level were chosen to be Library MonitorsOpening hours Open from 7:30 am – noon, 1pm – 4:30Often opened during the evenings and on weekends.Library ClassesYear 8 – 11 had a regular library lesson, where the students would come in to exchange their fiction loans

Maintenance shelfNew signs to hang upWriting borrowing cardsCataloguing piles of books
New books! Ok, new donated books….
New display shelf – books to be rotated on a weekly or fortnightly basis (themes – give the responsibility to a year 12 library monitor) New signs – “Look at a Book”, “Libraries lead to Knowledge, Learning, Information, Education”.Library monitors repairing & labelling booksChanged the layout of the library
Isolation – only white person living in the villageLanguage barriers – Due to the variety of languages spoken in the village and at school, I found it difficult to communicate in a way that I was used to. I began to incorporate more Bislama into my speech and I later discovered that many multi-syllabic words disappeared from my vocabulary.Skin colour – when everyone else is black, you really stand out.Boredom – it became a challenge to think of things to do to keep my occupied. I read a lot. Wrote a lot.Loneliness – being told by many people living in the village that because I was 29 and single that “taembloyu I finis nao”. Implying that I was up on the shelf for life. I spent a LOT of time alone.Island time – everything happens slower. A lot slower.
Additional assignment outcomes, achieved outside of the work plan:Strengthened the relationships between the Library at Epi High School and the Libraries at Akama Primary School in Lamen Bay and Lamen Island Primary School.Provided assistance to the Vanuatu Library Association during Library Week in SeptemberConsulted at Vila North Primary School and Vila East Primary SchoolCareer counselling and relationship guidance for school studentsStarted an all girls hip-hop group with the assistance of the school music teacherRan a climate change talk for the year 12 geography studentsHeld an exam-cram session for the year 12 development studies studentsAssisted several Peace Corp volunteers with questions about running and setting up librariesLiaised with the Port Vila Public Library to create a volunteering opportunity for one of the year12 library monitorsand many others…
Organisation – write lists, use your time wiselyCreativity – think outside of the square, be a problem solver! Instead of waiting for the School Handyman to come and move some boxes of books for us to the local primary school, we borrowed a wheel barrow and took them over there ourselves.Project management – set goals, re-evaluate if things aren’t going to plan.Small boxes – a project management tool that I learned from my father. Break everything down into separate components and work out what you can control and have an effect over.Laugh. As much and often as you can
