The document discusses the active and passive voice in writing. In the active voice, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice the subject receives the action. The passive voice is commonly used in more formal writing when the actor or agent performing the action is unknown, unimportant, or obvious from context. It can also be used in narratives to describe a character being affected by events outside of their control.
The document summarizes the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China and highlights stories of heroism and sacrifice in the aftermath. It notes that over 32,000 people were confirmed dead and millions were left homeless. In the days following, rescue efforts involved volunteers, medical workers, soldiers, and ordinary citizens who rushed to help however they could despite dangerous conditions. The summary highlights individual acts of bravery and sacrifice to save lives, even from those with little means themselves.

RDA: Are We There Yet?
This document discusses the progress of Resource Description and Access (RDA) since its publication in 2010. It notes recommendations from libraries that tested RDA, including rewriting instructions in plain English and improving the RDA Toolkit. The implementation date for RDA is March 31, 2013. Differences after implementing RDA include lack of abbreviations, more transcription of elements, new MARC fields, and richer authority records. Fully implementing RDA may involve changes to search options and semantic web/linked data approaches. Tips are provided for libraries on deciding when to implement, talking to vendors, and planning training.

What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring ...Emily Nimsakont
?
This document provides an overview of Linked Data and what it means for libraries. It defines Linked Data as a method of publishing structured data on the web so it can be interlinked and more useful. Linked Data uses URIs and RDF to make relationships between data explicit. This allows data to be queried and customized in new ways. Examples of Linked Data include DBpedia and Freebase. For libraries, Linked Data could eliminate data silos by breaking down traditional bibliographic records into linked data. This would allow library data to interact more openly on the web. It may change cataloging workflows and require new skills from librarians. However, challenges include needing to develop new software and standards, as well as ensuring reliable data.
This document summarizes an ideological fiction novel from the 1970s called "What are you going to do in December?" by Dirceu Borges. The novel outlines an ideal community called Harambe shaped around sustainability and governance, where elderly people live together cooperatively after failing systems that were supposed to care for them. Photographs in the presentation show scenarios from the book about a revolutionary model community designed to not only care for the elderly but challenge existing social structures.
