Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama. She is best known for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in 1955, which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. As a result of her refusal to move, she was arrested by police and became a prominent civil rights activist. Later in life, Parks received high honors for her work including the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bill Clinton.
The document lists the 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights. It includes the First Amendment regarding freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly. The Second Amendment concerns the right to bear arms. The Third Amendment bans the quartering of soldiers in homes without consent. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fifth Amendment includes rights such as due process and self-incrimination. The Sixth Amendment guarantees rights of the accused such as a speedy trial. The Seventh Amendment involves the right to a jury trial in civil cases. The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail and fines as well as cruel and unusual punishment. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments affirm unlisted rights of the people and powers of the states, respectively.
Before 1800, people traveled using walking, horses or wagons over dirt roads. Between 1800-1900, as the U.S. expanded, people began traveling by stagecoach and riverboat. Today, people have many modern transportation options like automobiles, trains, planes and other motor vehicles to travel long distances and globally.
The document discusses an event hosted by the National States Geographic Information Council on June 15-16, 2011 regarding open source mapping possibilities. It provides the address and contact information for the council. Several links are included to mapping ecosystems and resources. Open source is cited as a viable option by the Department of Defense, and that need, not predetermined solutions, should drive architectural and software choices. Contact information is given for a person named Learon Dalby.
North America was named after Amerigo Vespucci, not because he discovered the continent, but because he realized it was not part of Asia. His name was used because Asia and Europe were named after women, so he did the same for North America.
Civil service employees can promote animal rights through their work in government agencies that are responsible for enforcing laws and regulations protecting animals. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service administers the Animal Welfare Act and Horse Protection Act, which set minimum standards of care for animals in research, exhibitions, and commercial sale. Other agencies like the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission work to conserve bird habitats and protect birds. Civil service employees in these agencies work to enforce the laws and regulations aimed at protecting animal welfare and rights.
There are three types of independent agencies created by Congress to address issues outside the realm of Executive Departments: Independent Executive Agencies which function similarly to cabinet departments but lack cabinet status, Independent Regulatory Commissions which are headed by boards appointed by the president in a bipartisan manner to regulate specific industries, and Government Corporations which operate within the executive branch but conduct business-like activities and services. There are over 150 independent agencies addressing issues like civil rights, elections, aeronautics, and communications.
The document discusses the three main groups of independent agencies in the US government: 1) Independent Executive Agencies like EPA and NASA which are organized similarly to Cabinet agencies; 2) Independent Regulatory Commissions which regulate parts of the economy and have multi-member boards appointed by the president; and 3) Governmental Corporations which carry out specific business-like activities like the Post Office and are subject to presidential control. It notes that while independent agencies were originally created within Cabinet departments, over 150 now operate autonomously in various forms outside direct executive department control.

Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.
Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application.

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.

http://www.si.edu/The Smithsonian Institution was created by an act of Congress on August 10, 1846 (20 U.S.C. 41 et seq.), to carry out the terms of the will of British scientist James Smithson (1765-1829), who in 1826 had bequeathed his entire estate to the United States "to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." On July 1, 1836, Congress accepted the legacy and pledged the faith of the United States to the charitable trust.In September 1838, Smithson's legacy, which amounted to more than 100,000 gold sovereigns, was delivered to the mint at Philadelphia. Congress vested responsibility for administering the trust in the Secretary of the Smithsonian and the Smithsonian Board of Regents, composed of the Chief Justice, the Vice President, three Members of the Senate, three Members of the House of Representatives, and nine citizen members appointed by joint resolution of Congress. To carry out Smithson's mandate, the Institution executes the following functions: conducts scientific and scholarly research; publishes the results of studies, explorations, and investigations; preserves for study and reference more than 136 million artifacts, works of art, and scientific specimens; organizes exhibits representative of the arts, the sciences, and American history and culture; shares Smithsonian resources and collections with communities throughout the Nation; and engages in educational programming and national and international cooperative research.Smithsonian activities are supported by its trust endowments and revenues; gifts, grants, and contracts; and funds appropriated to it by Congress. Admission to the museums in Washington, DC, is free.
