SLA School Librarian of the Year 2012
A photo report on the SLA School Librarian of the Year Award Ceremony at Dexter House, Tower Hill, London, 1 October 2012. The award was won by Adam Lancaster of Monk's Walk School in Welwyn Garden City.
Also awarded was the School Library Design Award, on its second year. Winner was The Duston School in Northampton. The school library, known as "The Hub" was praised by the judges for giving students "ownership of their own space and their own place. Funky furnishings, a bold colour scheme, creative space planning, natural and artificial lighting, effective acoustics and ever changing, motivating signage and graphics make The Hub a destination like no other."
Kevin Crossley Holland, author and chair of the SLA, in praising the finalists for the awards said: "Make no mistake about it! School libraries and school librarians are under real pressure – political apathy, cuts in their budgets, threats of redundancy, status within their schools. But all over the country, individual librarians are doing imaginative and valiant and, frankly, quite crucial work, inspiring a love of reading within their schools and communities. They’re not only custodians of the storyhoard, the river of poems and the building blocks of information but brokers of the relationship between books as physical artefacts and the Digital Age. Now, the very best of them have been shortlisted to be the SLA School Librarian of the Year. It’s an award that matters, and it should be recognised by each and every one of us.”

Baltic pr awards critical thinking v03
This document provides a short introduction to critical thinking. It outlines some of the key tools and habits of critical thinking, including argumentation, the scientific method, and cognitive biases. It also discusses common fallacies of relevance and sufficiency that can undermine arguments.

Author's Purpose & Analyzing an Editorial - Unit 11.3
The document discusses a congressional hearing held by the House Subcommittee on Indian, Insular & Alaska Native Affairs to discuss establishing a federal fiscal control board for Puerto Rico. The author argues that Congress has dragged its feet for too long in addressing Puerto Rico's fiscal and economic crisis, holding seven hearings since 2015 but taking no meaningful action. While Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi hopes Congress will pass a bill to help, the author is skeptical this will happen given it is an election year and the crisis does not impact most congressional members' constituents. The article criticizes the lack of urgency from Congress to find a solution to Puerto Rico's debt crisis.
Four key elements of persuasion
There are four key elements to effective persuasion: credibility, understanding your audience, ensuring your argument is concrete, and having strong communication skills. Credibility involves trust and expertise. Understanding your audience means identifying decision makers and their agendas. Ensuring your argument is concrete means making it logical, emotional, addressing interests, neutralizing alternatives, and considering politics. Effective communication appeals to both emotions and logic to build commitment.
Elements of persuasive or argument writing
The document provides guidance on writing a persuasive essay or paper. It explains that a persuasive essay attempts to convince the reader of a particular viewpoint using sound reasoning and evidence. It should introduce the topic and thesis, state facts of the case, prove the thesis with arguments, disprove opposing arguments, and conclude. The thesis usually appears at the end of the introduction as a one sentence summary. The essay should explain the topic, give supporting facts cited from sources, present facts building the strongest argument last, and conclude by restating why the audience should be persuaded. When planning, the writer should choose a position, analyze the audience, research the topic, and structure the essay.
Types of claims
The document discusses the different types of patent claims that can be used to define the scope of legal protection for an invention. It describes independent claims, dependent claims, product claims, process claims, product-by-process claims, two part/Jepson claims, means plus function claims, Markush claims, Swiss claims, multiple dependent claims, and omnibus claims. The types of claims serve to precisely define the boundaries of what is covered by the patent.
Yeimmi A. Lopez - Claims 2012
This document defines and provides examples of different types of claims:
1. There are three main types of claims - claims of fact, which state something that is, was, or will be; claims of value, which make judgments about what is good or bad; and claims of policy, which state what should or should not be done.
2. A claim of fact can be verified with evidence and debates whether the statement is true or false. Claims of value express opinions, while claims of policy recommend courses of action to change the status quo.
3. Examples of each type of claim are provided, along with a short quiz to test understanding of the different claim types.
Identifying claims
This document discusses identifying explicit and implicit claims in arguments. It defines explicit claims as those directly stated using words like "because", while implicit claims refer to underlying assumptions and values. The document provides a framework for analyzing arguments by: 1) stating the thesis, 2) identifying explicit reasons and evidence for each, 3) determining implicit reasons and contextual evidence, and 4) evaluating the logic and validity. Identifying implicit assumptions is challenging but reveals the real issues and values underlying an argument.
Cognitive biases - a visual study guide
Hello Everyone,
A big thank you for all the interest in this study guide. It was originally created as a fun introduction that took the Cognitive Bias wiki and tried to make it easier to memorize.
However, the authors of the wiki article have expressed some concern over the accuracy of certain entries. The document was taken down until that could be corrected.
But, people started asking that I release a new version with a warning. In response, a new "Beta version" of the document has been uploaded with a very strong warning label up front and improved citations. I make it clear that all the text is based on an evolving wiki page and that some of the cognitive biases in there might be incorrect wiki entries. My hope is that this will continue to get people interested in pitching in to help fix the Cognitive Bias wiki pages. :) When the wiki is in a good place, I will take the document out of Beta, and will remove the warning label.
If you are a cognitive expert, join “Operation Fix The Cognitive Bias Wiki!” Add your suggestion to the conversation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_cognitive_biases

The 3 Claims
There are 3 types of claims: claims of fact, which assert something exists/existed/will exist and can be proven true or false; claims of value, which make judgments about whether something is good/bad; and claims of policy, which assert what should/should not be done. Claims state positions, not questions, and are made against the status quo. The type of claim determines the focus and structure of the argument.
Persuasion
The document discusses the concept of persuasion through gentle means being more powerful than force. It then provides an overview of a lecture on persuasion, covering key topics like the definition of persuasion, elements involved, traditional approaches, cognitive response analysis, the elaboration likelihood model of central and peripheral routes to persuasion, types of persuasive appeals, tips for successful persuasion, and a question and answer session.

Libraries offer a variety of essential services and resources to users. They provide access to books, magazines, and information services free of charge. Libraries support lifelong learning by helping users develop skills and hobbies through educational resources and training.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
