This document proposes establishing a culture of innovation and a process for proposing innovative ideas within a library. It outlines several steps to cultivate an innovative culture, including having leadership announce a new initiative to foster creativity and help ideas become reality. It then describes a proposed process where staff can submit idea proposals through a simple online form, which would be reviewed by a committee in a timely manner. The goal is to recognize innovative staff, track proposed ideas, and continuously improve the process over time to drive positive changes within the library.

This document outlines a teacher's action research project that took her to Cambodia to volunteer at an orphanage and teach at a rural high school in order to raise her Year 10 students' cross-cultural understandings of Asia. The teacher surveyed her students and found that 33% relied primarily on media for knowledge of Asian history and culture. She then spent two weeks in Cambodia documenting her experiences in a blog and bringing resources back to her students. Student reflections showed that learning from their teacher's firsthand experiences provided a deeper understanding of Asian cultures and social injustices than textbooks or media. The teacher plans to further incorporate social action projects into the curriculum and expand units on Asian history.

We know that many students have difficulties meeting faculty expectations for college-level research. Basic search strategies, critical thinking and evaluation skills are often lacking. Increased dialogue between academic librarians, school librarians and teaching faculty could begin to address some of these problems in a proactive manner. This presentation is a small step in that direction. Chris Sweet, Information Literacy Librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University, will introduce this topic from an academic librarians perspective. Dana Convery, English and Literature instructor at Prairie Central High School, will discuss high school research from the trenches. What research skills are being taught in the classroom? What role do Illinois Learning Standards play? What barriers are holding high school teachers and librarians back? Finally, an Illinois Wesleyan student will give us insights on his/her personal transition from high school to college researcher.

This document describes revisions made to library instruction sessions for a Freshman Seminar program at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. The sessions were previously boring rotations through stations that wasted time. A new librarian implemented interactive modules to engage students. Assessments found students learned more through hands-on activities. Minor adjustments were made over three years with continued positive feedback. Challenges include maintaining requirements, growing diversity, and increasing composition instruction demands.
Open literacy & the problem of access refusalRobyn Hall

Presentation at WILU, MacEwan University, Edmonton, AB.
Abstract: The swift evolution of Open Access (OA) publishing of scholarly works has been driven by researchers and librarians who recognize the societal benefits of these resources being freely available on the Internet. Especially in fields relevant to Science, Technology and Medicine, high quality OA content can benefit people conducting both personal and professional research anywhere in the world. These resources can prove exceptionally valuable to students whose access to scholarly research materials may be limited by costly journal subscriptions both while they are in school and long after they have graduated. This presentation will draw on findings from an exploratory research study that involved a survey sent to academic librarians across Canada questioning the degree to which they are educating students about Open Access research materials and their motivations for and against doing so. Based on participants responses, suggested teaching strategies and promotional initiatives will be shared with session attendees. Information literacy teaching methods discussed aim to foster a broader understanding of Open resources and overall scholarly publishing processes among students developing critical and sustainable researching skills.
Information Literacy Instruction and the First Year Experiencecarolrain
油
The document discusses information literacy instruction as part of first-year experience programs. It notes that about 85% of colleges and universities now have some type of first-year experience program that aims to help ease students' transition to college life. These programs often include a library component to help students learn about resources and how to conduct research. The document outlines some common approaches to including information literacy instruction, such as orientations, tutorials, and integrating it into first-year writing courses. It also discusses challenges of including library instruction in already full first-year programs and the benefits to students.
The document summarizes a project to embed information literacy instruction into first year higher education courses at Bury College and the University of Liverpool. Librarians developed bespoke information literacy sessions for each subject area and worked closely with lecturers. Student feedback was positive, with 100% saying the sessions should continue and 93% reporting improved attitudes towards librarians and library use. The success of the project led to further funding and information literacy is now incorporated into the library's yearly plans.
The document provides an overview of literacy programs, assessments, and resources in the Livonia Central School District in Livonia, NY. It summarizes the demographics of Livonia, NY and describes various literacy programs used in the primary, intermediate, junior high, and high schools such as Open Court reading, Accelerated Reader, and AIS (Academic Intervention Services) reading support. It also discusses NY State assessment results and interviews conducted with a teacher and parent about reading instruction and expectations.

High School to College Transition Initiatives: Making it a RealityDenise Woetzel

The document discusses initiatives to improve the transition from high school to college. It describes programs between Henrico County Public Schools, Hermitage High School, and Reynolds Community College that provide college-level courses to high school students. These include dual enrollment classes, library instruction sessions, and tours of the college campus. The task force aims to narrow discrepancies between high school and college-level research expectations and better prepare students for academic work. Future plans include expanding collaboration and building partnerships between K-12 schools and colleges.
This document summarizes information about two Chicago Public School libraries. It describes the staff and facilities at Burr Elementary and Schurz High School. At Burr Elementary, there are two full-time librarians with a large space that supports classes and independent work. At the smaller Schurz High, there is one part-time librarian with limited hours. Both libraries aim to support student learning but face challenges around resources, technology, and collaboration opportunities. The document also outlines action plans and grant opportunities to strengthen the libraries.
This document discusses bringing the Reader's Workshop model of literacy instruction to high school English language learners (ELLs). It describes implementing Reader's Workshop in an ELL newcomer high school, including benchmark assessments, independent reading, guided reading, and strategies for building students' literacy skills. The model has benefited students by increasing their reading levels, differentiating instruction, and engaging students in active reading every day. Challenges include implementing the model in large classes, initial costs, and developing systems, but it can be brought to other schools by studying best practices, finding support, and demonstrating students' needs.
The document discusses the changing role of librarians from quiet repositories of knowledge to active partners in instruction through collaborations with teaching faculty. It notes that while some have been slow to embrace this new role of "teaching librarians," partnerships between librarians and faculty can enhance student learning and instruction in many ways. Some examples highlighted include librarians assisting with research projects, selecting research topics, term paper clinics, grant writing, and computer-based projects. The document concludes that faculty-librarian evaluations and partnerships that allow open communication can strengthen student learning and are important trends, though still new, that will become tradition over time.
The Relationship Management Conference in November 2017 aimed to better understand how academics at York approach research and teaching to help the library better support them. 142 academics were interviewed using various qualitative methods. Key findings included motivations and frustrations around workloads, publishing pressures, and finding time for creativity. Insights influenced library strategies around space, resources, skills development and building relationships with academics. User experience projects were highlighted as providing valuable customer insights.

There are many different types and compounds are responsible for causing the poisoning conditions inside the body.
Some of the main categories that creates poisoning are mercury, lead, arsenic, organophosphorus, barbiturates etc.
All the above conditions caused poisoning conditions inside the body by performing various mechanisms on various receptors and various parts of the body which creats harmful effect and even may lead to death condition too. To cure these harmful conditions various drugs are used to treat them.

because what happens in the womb does not necessarily stay in
the womb, or by someone elses. As health care professionals, you will often
encounter women of childbearing age who may be pregnant, or you may
have children of your own, or maybe it is a friend who is pregnant. In any
case, pregnancy and childbirth are relevant to all of us, and unfortunately,
these processes often culminate in negative outcomes. For example, 50% of
all embryos are spontaneously aborted. Furthermore, prematurity and birth
defects are the leading causes of infant mortality and major contributors to
disabilities. Fortunately, new strategies can improve pregnancy outcomes,
and health care professionals have a major role to play in implementing
these initiatives. However, a basic knowledge of embryology is essential to
the success of these strategies, and with this knowledge, every health care
professional can play a role in providing healthier babies.Clinical Correlates: In addition to describing normal events, each
chapter contains clinical correlates that appear in highlighted boxes. This
material is designed to demonstrate the clinical relevance of embryology
and the importance of understanding key developmental events as a first
step to improving birth outcomes and having healthier babies. Clinical
pictures and case descriptions are used to provide this information, and
this material has been increased and updated in this edition.
Genetics: Because of the increasingly important role of genetics and
molecular biology in embryology and the study of birth defects, basic
genetic and molecular principles are discussed. llqe first chapter provides
an introduction to molecular processes, defines terms commonly used
in genetics and molecular biology, and describes key pathways used
An information resource refers to any material, tool, or medium that provides factual data, knowledge, or guidance for learning, research, or decision-making. It encompasses a wide range of formats, including books, journals, databases, websites, audiovisual content, and digital repositories. Information resources are typically organized, stored, and made accessible for users through libraries, archives, or online platforms. Unlike an information source, which is the origin or provider of the knowledge (like a person or an institution), an information resource is the product or recorded form of that knowledge. In educational settings, information resources are essential for teaching, learning, and academic inquiry, helping students and researchers explore topics, gather evidence, and develop informed perspectives. Effective use of information resources depends on the users ability to locate, evaluate, and apply them appropriately. As such, they play a critical role in promoting information literacy and supporting lifelong learning across various disciplines.
