Policy Background Paper: A Viable Framework for a Green Economy in Caribbean ...UNDP Policy Centre
Key findings of IPC-IG researcher Leisa Perch's paper entitled "A Viable Framework for a Green Economy in Caribbean Member States: Considerations for Inclusive and Green Growth"
In the past decades, lean production philosophy has influenced deeply the way many manufacturing business work today. However, lean philosophy can also be adapted and applied to project work, and influence project management approaches with the ultimate goal of reducing/eliminating waste of all forms.
Examples of reducing waste in projects are reducing material waste, process waste, minimizing work in process, eliminating idle workforce, minimizing unused workforce skills, minimizing rework due to poor quality or spec changes). The lean approach is applied both to projects’ processes but also to the whole project value chain.
Adopting a Lean approach aims to reduce project costs while maximizing value for clients or users. However, it usually achieves this within the defined project boundaries, that is, the defined value chain of the project (i.e. suppliers, project team, customer or users).
Borrowing, however, the basic principles of green management and applying them to project management, one would tend to consider more the interrelation & interdependence between the systems of projects, the environment, economy and society, and therefore influence the project scope, deliverables, and project management approach to become “friendlier” to the surrounding systems/environments. Such systems (or sub-systems) are other projects, programs, corporate portfolios, the organization at large, society, and the natural environment.
This presentation offers an overview of the current developments in lean and green approaches as applied to project management, and proposes the consideration of the broader social and natural environments in the definition of projects. Green project management should include green objectives in the definition of the project scope, and apply a greener approach in managing project work. The purpose is to minimize any negative impact to project environments (negative by-products) while maximizing positive impact (positive by-products) by applying a less fragmented and longer-term holistic thinking, thus moving towards a more sustainable project management model.

Starting from Scratch: Meaningful Integration of Information Literacy through...Chris Sweet
Instruction librarians are all too familiar with well-intentioned research papers and assignments that reduce information literacy to a simplistic checklist (must include 4 peer-reviewed sources) or set of skills (use interlibrary loan, cite materials properly). Librarians and classroom faculty should recognize that information literacy cannot just be magically imparted to students through a single assignment or library instruction session. Becoming information literate requires repeated practice in a variety of contexts. How often have you wished for the opportunity to just sit down with a faculty member and start from scratch when designing an assignment –or even better- an entire course? That is precisely what the presenters have done with two sociology courses at Illinois Wesleyan University. Professor of Sociology, Meghan Burke and Information Literacy Librarian, Chris Sweet collaboratively re-designed two of Professor Burke's race and ethnic relations sociology courses. The new courses integrate information literacy concepts throughout each course. Because of the new course structure, teaching information literacy has also become a shared responsibility.
The name of this resource is: "Researching with ProQuest SIRS Discoverer." The intended audience is grade school students doing research, their parents, and the school and/or public librarians who may be helping them. This is a database that is available through Teton County Library in Jackson and Alta, WY and the slide show presentation would be available in both branches.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Action: Quote
“Yeah. The best strategy, I've always found, is to find 1 book, at least.
Papers are really good, they're various focused and everything, but if
you have 1 book that something to do with your topic, it gives you this
big background . . . I just read it really quickly because I can sort of
you can skip through something or skim really, really quickly through
some parts… Yeah, just read the big bulk of it and from there, that gives
you all the issues or things you are looking for. And theoretically, it would
give you the articles where he [the author] went to. If it’s a good book, it
will mention the other people who talked about it and like the other rival
scholars or something.” [P10]

Reasons: Quote
[Y] It’s interesting you’re searching for subject headings. Where did you learn this kind of stuff?
[P10] I was on the classic catalogue and I saw “subject begins with.” I clicked on it. It makes a
lot of sense.
[Y] I see. You just noticed the option is there. And then OK, like what this function is. And just try
it?
[P10] Yeah.
[Y] And then you realize.
[P10] Also like from there, I, that’s sort of, that’s in my mind and I tried that a few times, like
Poland history. Like OK. So there’s the Poland history page. Then later, I see a book and
noticed a LC subject like Poland socialism and something else, I cannot remember what found
this one. And then it would be like, oh click on that and go to the subject I was looking at. This
was great and this is nice.
[Y] I am just wondering are you familiar with LC subjects, what a LC subject is?
[P10] I have no idea.

Reasons: Quote
[P13] Yes. Thank you. I learned a bit about Boolean, I’m not very versed in Boolean, but I learned it in
high school.
[Y] OK. So at least you learned how to search.
[P13] It was a bit more advanced training, it was a good high school, I guess. I know that a lot of people
have to learn that a lot in a university, but I didn't take any of courses specifically.
[Y] I see. When you came to McGill, did you look at all the online tutorials to learn how to search?
[P13] I was worried about my research skills being bad and I took 1 and they again told me about
Boolean and then they also explained McGill's facilities. It was like a "welcome to the library" thing. We
have online journals, here's how to access online journals, and we can go through departmental studies
if you want. Here's Canadian history and here's a list of journals and then you search multi-journals. I
think that's valuable...and I think I was lazy in my past research in that I typically go straight to JSTOR if
I am in history or English. Just go straight to JSTOR but I know that doesn't have access to everything.
And recently I've been kind of been falling on a crutch of using Google Scholar a little much. It's getting
better for something.

Writing Process: Quote
[Y] I see. I kind of feel you have specific ideas in your head, but you don’t know where you
want to put it in.
[P18] Yeah, Yeah.
[Y] At least you know what you want to use. Just put information and then at later stage,
print out and think about flow and structure?
[P18] Yeah, because like I was staring the computer screen for so long, sometimes it's so
hard, and scrolling and just all looks the same. So to have it on paper I find, you know, OK
I don’t need any of this... so then if I have the sheets laid out--well, like this paragraph on
page 8 and then like this paragraph on page 2, so like they need go together. So I
can see that better when it’s laid out. And sometimes not for this paper but sometimes I
have really in trouble do like highlighting and color code organization, but this was, I didn’t
find this like super hard to kind of put together because I kind of all along kind of knew the
things I was gonna talk about. So it’s just like you know, I wanna like a logical order. So.

Today’s talk: dissertation investigating conducting research & IL skills…
This is very daunting methods, my approach is not recommended for everyone, but you will be able to see various kind of evidences you can see during research processImplications for librarians for teaching students IL skills and development of the skills
Japanese students in Canada. In my presentation “today,” I am more talking about undergraduate students in general.
IB – IL similar, but differentIB: inter-related, dynamic useful to know about process: No outcomeIL: Specify outcomes of behaviour, but often discreteUsing both concepts is important to obtain complete picture of students’ process
Scrap [space] book collect any kind of evidence related to research (ideas, potential topic, how they seek information incl. keywords used, resources consulted, outline created, and final products)Students’ made flowcharts
Find focus based on…Could not articulate their topics yet.
