I worked at University of Reading
Pros – The University of Reading is a very organised University that offers a variety of jobs with competitive pay. Depending on the job, you are able to progress quickly to higher levels of authority.
Cons – Staff turnover is quite often high at the University of Reading. Interviews are fairly gruelling due to many applications from students.
Advice to Senior Management – My experience with the leadership at the University of Reading was a positive one. Management are quick to let you know if you have done well and are very helpful in making sure you achieve the best you can.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at University of Reading full-time for more than a year
Pros – The maths department has a collegial and friendly atmosphere and is supportive of its post-docs. The campus is lovely, and Reading is a nice place to live.
Cons – Don't really have much bad to say. The building is a bit old and tatty, and Reading is a bit too far away from London. There's a lot of variation in research quality between departments, so do your homework.
I have been working at University of Reading
Pros – Educational environment
Flexible but at the same time strict
Reliable job that will not let anyone down
Location is nice and close to London
Cons – Repetitive routines that are too repetitive and finally it is a real pain to work with all the procedures before doing anything
Advice to Senior Management – Make work more fun a place where everyone can enjoy and feel like they're working not because they're looking forward to the final salary but because they're doing something challenging
I worked at University of Reading
Pros – If you like a more laid back life it's good, easy to not do a lot.
Good research ratings and lots of funding!!
Cons – Promotion through long service, good chance of your dept. being closed if it doesn't 'perform'.
Advice to Senior Management – Take a better look at all those personal domains of power...just because you bring in a lot of funding doesn't make you a manager!
I worked at University of Reading
Pros – Flexible in terms of shifts/ academic commitments
Plenty of opportunities for different kinds of work
Good pay, and plenty of shifts available
Fun and friendly atmosphere
Cons – Good shifts get taken fast
Little training
Progression can sometimes be affected by your relationship with managers
No employee benefits
Advice to Senior Management – Invest in better training and proper shift management, there should always be enough people to set up a bar without leaving the bar empty and there should always be a supervisor or manager available during shift.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at University of Reading
Pros – Great location; pleasant, loyal and able colleagues.
Cons – Sadly and institution long past its prime and living on a (declining) reputation. The take over by University of Reading has not worked due to 1) no strategy for combining the best of both places and 2) very poor HR decisions (wiping out all the small, but important staff legacy working conditions at Henley) 3) absent or incompetent management/leadership skills. A case of 'physician heal thyself'!
Advice to Senior Management – Start practising what (your programmes) preach - consult your staff and develop a strategy that inspires and makes sense; put 100% more effort into coaching and bringing together staff/teams; stop wasting time on trying to win business which has more to do with vanity than business sense

Nothing illustrates the delusional fantasies that animate today's GOP than the right-wing commentariat on the opening of the Bush Library. From Charles Krauthammer to Michael Gerson to Ross Douthat, not one dared call the Bush presidency for what it was: an unmitigated disaster. "He kept us safe" is the mantra repeated incessantly by the right, as if constant repetition will somehow re-write history. No, Bush did not keep us safe, far from it: 9/11 occured nine months into his presidency, not on Clinton's or Obama's watch as some would have us believe. Katrina and the utter lack of Federal response happened on Bush's watch. Who can forget Barbara Bush's comment, speaking of the thousands of refugees in the New Orleans Superdome: "…those people" are better off in the stadium than they're used to at home.
Bush's incompetence was matched by his arrogance. He lied us into two wars that, when the accounting is finally done, will have cost us between $3 trillion and $4 trillion, according to Linda Bilmes, a Harvard economist, and Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winner in economics and professor at Columbia. And how did Bush pay for these wars? On a credit card issued by the Chinese government. So the right wing's newly-discovered high dudgeon on the Federal deficit and the debt sound hollow and hypocritical — the GOP's default positions on just about everything.
The Medicare Prescription Act that runs over $20 billion a year was also financed on the Chinese credit card on Bush's watch. To add insult to injury, Bush caved in to drug companies' demands that Federal agencies not be allowed to negotiate drug prices. As a result, the Veterans' Administration pays full price for a drug that insurance companies buy for far less.
Finally, the recession and the collapse of the housing market started on Bush's watch, long before Obama was elected. Bush's tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class and the poor are in large part responsible for the misery that was visited upon us shortly before Obama was inaugurated. In spite of the abject failure of "trickle down" economics, the GOP's delusional fantasies still promote that discredited snake oil.
Pundits, right and left, point out that Bush was a nice guy. Even if true, and the claim is dubious, so what? We don't elect Presidents to be "nice guys!" Unfortunately, as the American public becomes less and less informed and more and more dumbed down, a presidential election will resemble picking the winner on "Dancing with the Stars:" personality and looks will matter most of all, even if the suit is empty, as was the case with Romney.
If Gore had just won Gaddafi would still be alive. Libya would still be developing nukes. Benghazi would not have happened. HAARP would have been dismantled. Chemtrails would just be contrails, and the moon landing would still be real. There's probably more that we can lay on Bush but my rear view mirror is not as good as John's.Reply |
Colonel, you might consider a fellowship with Mr. Garon. He tosses oodles more red meat than you do. You could learn.Reply |
Phil, I believe in moderate red meat thrown at the right time. Excessive red meat only agitates needlessly and prevents the success of deception. Do you remember the movie Missouri Breaks. There is a message there. Yes, cookies -- you propose the $3.00 price of cookies be reduced to $2.50. Republicans wanting to feed America with cheaper cookies?Reply |
ADDED: Just read Mr. Garon's letter. Excellent factual review of George W. Bush's tenure. And, if Gore had won, we have no way of knowing looking at a reverse crystal ball in 2013.Reply |
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Colonel, you have demonstrated that to a liberal a price increase of only $.50 in the face of a proposed increase of $1.00 is (to a liberal) a price cut. A $2.50 cookie is less expensive than $2.00 cookie????? LIBERALitus.Reply |
George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum - HEREReply |
Name the book (HERE) Pres. Bush read to children at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida.Reply |
Look at the bright side, it gave obama the chance to so some more campaigning.Reply |
What did media matters and think progress tell you they said? Bush derangement syndrome is a long lasting disorder. Your last paragraph is exactly what we have now. They only difference is obama is not a nice guy.Reply |
Evelyn, is this letter an example of "blocks to critical thinking"?Reply |
Bush's presidency was a disaster!Reply |
lp, is it more convenient for you to disregard the fact that the dems have controlled at least 2/3's of the federal government since 2006? Do you remember when pelosi referred to 5.5% unemployment and $2/gal gas as "failed economic policies"? If that is true what would you call the last 4 1/2 years? obama is redefining disaster.Reply |
Cookie65: You are in the better position to know whether this letter qualifies as a block to your critical thinking.Reply |
Right after reading this, my first reaction was that of Mel Gibson's, William Wallace after destroying the British in the Movie. BLAAAAAA!!!!!!??!!!! Then I took a breadth sipped my coffee and remembered that I was never a Bush fan either. We could have had Al and Tipper being the influence for Love Story II. Al becomes President but loses Tipper in a tsunami caused by global warming...Reply |
It isn't really garon's fault for being stuck on stupid. He is fully dependent on media that is just waking up to the fact that obama and hillary have been lying about Benghazi for 8 months.Reply |
Evelyn, Bush gave the left virtually everything they wanted and he still ranks below Beelzebub with them. How do you negotiate with people like that?Reply |
I believe Obama is trying to clean up the mess left by mr. bush mr. Cookie..Reply |
Mr. Garon sounds like perhaps an intelligent person, so how has he forgotten to mention in 2006, the house and senate were overrun with democrats? it was they who held the purse strings and spent chinese money like drunken sailors... it was on Bush's watch barney frank and other Demoncrats decided and forced low income home loan requirements to be tossed out the window collapsing the housing market which dominoed into world depression. Mr. Garon, how have you forgotten to mention that it was Clinton that gutted our CIA and our signals intelligence so that 9/11 ocurred on Bush's watch. How is it mr. garon that you forgot to mention these FACTS? Your letter has a distinct bias but I wonder if it has less to do with your memory and more about your integrity sir.Reply |
Phil, when I want cookies I buy them and I don't care about the price (and never see them in light of the liberal/conservative construct). Maybe I'm not political enough?Reply |
BUSH = TRAITOR(WAR CRIMINAL)2Reply |
Rod, I want to thank you for educating me that 9/01 was the fault of Clinton. The Intelligence Briefing given to Bush in 8/01 in which he told the briefer that "he" had covered his ass and Bush then went fishing without alerting all government anti-terrorist agencies had nothing to do with our failure to prevent 9/11. It's always good to learn, but strange that Clinton gutted the CIA but apparently not so much that the CIA couldn't give Bush the warning in 8/01. Thank you again for clearing all this up for me.Reply |
Under Obama there have been 2 US embassy attacks and 4 deaths. Under Bush there were 11 US embassy attacks and 52 deaths. FACT.Reply |
Since Obama took the helm I was able to get a good job, get a promotion, continue my education, buy a house, make money on my portfolio again, travel oversees where people from other nations smile and speak highly of our president and nation for the first time in years. I do not know what some of you are doing to be so miserable under the Obama presidency, guess you are just not doing it right! Lol!Reply |
The Bush library? Bush can read?Reply |
Mr Garon's melodramatic and predictable cry in the night against the Bush Library (and presidency) is all too predictable. But, it did raise some interesting observations and/or questions. Garon's own comments on GWB's Medicare Prescription Act reinforce the claims we Conservatives made all along - that GWB was never one of us. Two, note how Liberal/Progressives assign blame for 9/11 to GWB and not to Clinton, even though GWB had been in office only nine months. And yet note how FIVE YEARS into the Obama administration, they still don't hang the failed economy around Obama's neck, but still blame it on GWB. Three, it is correct to note that deficit spending accelerated under GWB, even to the point that then-candidate Obama called it "Unpatriotic." But what has Obama done to even so much as lift his foot off the accelerator? Garon, there may have been a time and a place when your political observations held sway, but given that you served under Carter, that explains a lot. These days, your perspectives don't even come close to reality, but they do add a bit of humor to the political discourse. If you seek a sympathetic audience, I suggest you contact John Stewart.Reply |
The Lp's of the world make me think I must be crazy. Not only is Bush responsible for what obama inherited his first term but also what obama inherited his second term. What a useful tool to have. I have read that it is a running joke at the Bush household. No matter what happens they all say "Bush's fault".Reply |
Mr. Garon..please check your facts before you throw up on yourself once again. Do us all a favor a research Brooksley Born and the Community Reinvestment Act. Your liberal hack job is so tiresome and falls flat on its face. Its almost as comical as your complete ignorance of the term "productivity" and hence your oblivious understanding of economics 101.Reply |
When I want cookies, I make them from scratch. In fact, I'm ramping up to make a batch of Toll House with pecans and peanut butter swirls...mmmmmmm....Reply |

Phil, how long before obama throws PIAPS under the bus so moochelle can run in '16? I also expect chief spreading bull and perhaps the crash-test-dummy to have their eye on running. When obama was elected the left proved qualifications and competence have no bearing on the office and when he won re-election they proved visiting the view and john stewart is worth millions of votes.Reply |

Mr Cookie Dough...Whatever your smoking, they do have help out there for 'ya!Reply |
Knowing how symbolism is everything to the shallow left, moochelle wouldn't have any problem putting an end to PIAPS hopes of ever doing something at the whitehouse besides serving crumpets and running cover for willy's pizza delivery and his ministering to troubled young women. Life is double edged sword. Maybe in retirement should could finally remember where she left the billing records to the Rose law firm.Reply |
Cookie dough 65.......you're too funny..Reply |
Evelyn, regarding,"It's Dishonest to Talk about Benghazi Without Talking About the Syrian War" I've been offering periodic links to that fact since before the election 5 minute clip - - - LINK - It's about Syria - John Batchelor - before the electionReply |
The biggest intelligence blunder was the Irac war! Yes Bengazi was a disaster! How about holding 5 time deferment chicken hawk Dick Cheney accountable for his vested interested in Irac?Reply |
Phil, if the plan is to knock Hillary out of 2016 you will need something more than Benghazi -- I know it's all you have but it's small potatoes as to who said what a week or two after the event. You would have to prove that Hillary was on the satellite in real time and ordered the military to stand down and let them die. That would give you the event you need to make a good political hammer. Didn't happen, so will be hard to prove a non-event. So you can only hope for something bigger, but I doubt Hillary will give you anything in the future.Reply |

Larry Johnson, on the link, said that it was "his understanding" that Hillary and her Deputy took charge of the Ops Center in real time. His understanding? If he had proof of this he would have provided it to Issa. His understanding? BS. John, the host of the link closes by saying "National Security -- we'll never get there, but we will get close." He's right, but close doesn't count when you are trying to bring down the SecState. I've judged for myself as you asked me to do. Small potatoes, and Republicans want it so bad it makes their teeth hurt. It's the only alleged scandal they have.Reply |
And now to bed.Reply |
Yes, Phil, you have consistently been posting on Benghazi/Syria. As the above article concludes: "In other words, both GOP and Dem politicians are supporting instability and war, based upon false pretenses and pro-war media coverage … just like Iraq."Reply |
"Low information voter" is commonly stated by Cookie65 in his rants. Maybe you have had more time on your hands in your lifetime to be soooo informed and, of course, right about everything. You certainly have learned to pull up, copy and paste from your most beloved anti-government websites. It is the arrogance that is so amusing. Bush headed our country into a downward spiral that no one President, Democrat or Republican could make right in 4 or 8 years. The hate for President Obama over the well being of our country hasn't aided in our recovery. I guess he should have had more Tea parties.Reply |
Test, testing!!!!! Comment sent, disappeared. Second replacement comment sent, disappeared??Reply |
Won't try a third time. Will wait until further Benghazi talk with Phil.Reply |
James writes, ". . . if the plan is to knock Hillary out of 2016 you will need something more than Benghazi. . . "The plan, Colonel, is not to knock hildabeast out. The plan is to get the facts out regarding Benghazi. If the facts are fatal to hildabeast then so much the better. The greater good for the public is the promised transparency we all deserve. If the promised sunlight disinfects then HURRAY!Reply |
PS - Pablo hit a home run in the 1st. Top of the 3rd - Giants 1 Atlanta 0 - GO GIANTS!Reply |
Phil, perhaps a short version will get through. There will never be transparency in this matter. Having lived in that world, the saying is "Tell them (the American people and Phil) a little, but don't tell them a lot." It's just the way it is in code word operations and it's the standard for the current and all past administrations. The controversy is now reduced to who manipulated the talking points. Ms. Victoria Nuland, spokesperson for the State Department, got in a shooting match with the CIA and she won. Interesting that she worked for Dick Cheney in the past and is married to Robert Kagan, brother of Fred Kagan, both rabid neocons. Even if tracked above Ms. Nuland, it's a venial sin, not a mortal one. Real justice in this is not transparency, but tracking down the bad guys and killing them in a bunch or one by one. Real justice, not faux Republican justice.Reply |
Some kind of block on my comments. Perhaps I can work them in at a later time.Reply |
Look for Díck-like words that the MD filter kills, Colonel.Reply |
Phil, fifth reply again blocked so maybe if I just talk about transparency. Having lived in that world, the saying is "Tell them (the American people and Phil) a little, but don't tell them a lot." We will never know the details of the SCI code word operation in Benghazi. This (need to know) has always been the case, for this administration and all past administrations. There is no First Amendment or other right to know the details.Reply |
Phil, OF course, slapping myself on the top of my head. I now have five versions of my comment (had to do four from memory, so they may all vary a bit), at the MtDemocrat being checked for foul language because I noted that Ms. Victoria Nuland, spokesperson for the State Department who manipulated the talking points in a shoot out with the CIA worked for "Richard" Cheney in the past and is married to Robert Kagan, brother of Fred Kagan, both rabid neocons. Very strange bedfellows. Well, hopefully the MtDemocrat will release one of my previous five when they realize I was only referring to Darth Vader.Reply |
Does anyone, if you can find anything I say somewhere else I can probably prove I said it first. But you can't find anything I say anywhere else because I couldn't care less what anyone else says or thinks. If you could ask my late father he would tell you I do my own thinking. Just because copy and paste is the way of life for the lemming left doesn't mean it is for everyone. But I may have blocks to my critical thinking skills because I take a hard line on the disease of leftism. Grow a brain and quit embarrassing yourself on the internet. How much would you like to wager that if moochelle ran for the dim nomination hildabeast would be done? Can you imagine how much the left could protect her incompetence? Look at how they have with hubby barack. And how have they done it? The R-card. With moochelle it would be all of that times 10. I wish leftist weren't just flat stupid. Even you use the lefts favorite word, "hate". I have never been to a tea party. Nor do I plan to.Reply |
By the way check your history. Reagan inherited from carter a complete disaster also created by leftism just like this one and he turned it around in a couple of years. Ignorance is choice, your intellect becomes an issue when you repeatedly choose ignorance.Reply |
Cookie you don't need to worry your pretty little head about tea parties cause your daddy didn't raise you to be that sort of person and youll never be invited to one. Everyone knows youd break all the china. Youre awfuly defensive today. Lost your meds?Reply |
My goodness Cookie65. These first few lines of your post of May 11, 5:25 pm tell a lot about you. "Does anyone, if you can find anything I say somewhere else I can probably prove I said it first. But you can't find anything I say anywhere else because I couldn't care less what anyone else says or thinks. If you could ask my late father he would tell you I do my own thinking." Eeeow! Cookie65 your arrogance and narcissism are sad, and, yet amusing. You are a hater. A hater of our government and very intolerant of those that do not think exactly the way you do. You call us ignorant or low information voters, to name a few, which makes you fearful. Your mind closes like a steel trap shutting out any light. I, like yourself am not stupid, nor are so many that want to be part of the MD community without being accosted. You say you do not care what anyone else says or thinks. If this were true, you would not be so virulent against the way others think of our imperfect, great country or opinions on how to solve its problems. There is definately old issues, and I believe it is you who regularly embarrasses themselves on the internet. It is attitudes like yours that aides in this country's problems. Just stop belittling people just because you can, please.Reply |
Is Saturday beat up Cookie day? I'm a liberal, firmly on the left, a Democrat and I read without rancor all of Cookie's comments. She's Cookie, we accept her comments and she's one of the gang on this site. You may be new to her, but she is our Cookie so please don't make Saturday beat up Cookie day.Reply |
Phil, the air is coming out of the Benghazi balloon, so might be better to shift to the IRS/Tea Party controversy. No SCI code word problems there.Reply |
tolerance is intolerable and just a sign of wishy washy indecision wich has got us to this parlous state of affairs; go away lefty librals. You stay, cookie65.Reply |
1) James, I respect your "family" protectiveness. Others probably do too. But our cookies won't crumble. (Uhh . . . sorry for that) 2) Benghazi will "evolve". 3) Do you suppose John minds us cluttering up his Bush burning with our drivel? 4) The Giants kicked butt today 10 to 1!!!Reply |
James, here is another 9 minutes of Benghazi analysis. Audio link is bottom left - - - LINK - Guests - Dan Henninger, WSJ, in re Benghazi - Not Yet Watergate or Whitewater, Not Yet Iran-Contra -- Why A Select Committee Is Needed.Reply |
Phil, oh, I know that Cookie will still be Cookie. She doesn't need my help, but I thought it important that we, despite our differences, look out for each other when appropriate. I'm sure Mr. Garon doesn't mind our various comments over his work. I'm a little tired of Benghazi -- let's let it cook for a couple of months and see where it's going. Giants win 10-1 which is good, but look at all those extra runs that they will probably need in a future game. Can they deposit excess win runs with the baseball commissioner for later use?Reply |
Here's to " Chicken Hawk Cheney!" did you you know "Chicken Hawk Cheney" had 5 deferments from the Viet Nam war? Let's send everyone else. And where was "Mission Acomplished" Busch during the war cookie dough??Reply |
Oh I forgot, Busch (beer brain) was drinking, getting a DUI while our American soldiers were dying.Reply |
Still waiting for anyone of you to share "your own thoughts" on how fast hildabeast would be history if moochelle ran for the dim nomination. I realize the leftist media has not given you "your own thoughts" on the matter yet so you don't have any, but live a little give thinking for yourself a try. Think about it (I know, you not equipped) the left could use her nomination to claim the right hates women, minorities, and a whole boat load of other nonsense that is just red meat for their lemming base. I can see the headlines, "The GOP Continues It's War On Women With Opposition To The Nations First Black Woman President". It is made to order for the party that has nothing else to offer.Reply |

("Most of the Americans who elected Barack Obama in 2008 intended their vote as a total repudiation of the policies and personnel of the preceding George W. Bush administration. Yet once in office, Obama's crucial selections — Robert Gates at Defense, Timothy Geithner at Treasury, and Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve—were all top Bush officials, and they seamlessly continued the unpopular financial bailouts and foreign wars begun by his predecessor, producing what amounted to a third Bush term." ~ Paul Craig Roberts, Asst. Sec. of Treasury in the Reagan AdministrationReply |
Just look at her qualifications, she has made the cover of all the low information voter magazines dozens of times. The fashion world is devoted to her. She went to the Oscars. She has been on all the daytime tv shows. The women on The View idolize her. Late night tv can't get enough of her. She knows all the best vacation spots. Her aptitude for spending taxpayer money is breathtaking. While bubby barack was in the Illinois Senate she was employed as an influence peddler, oops I mean a diversity coordinator, where she protected the hospital where she was employed from the poor so they could keep space available for people who had high end insurance. So she has experience in healthcare. She gardens. Parents no longer need to be concerned with dietary needs of their children thanks to her. The epidemic food insecurity for the children suffering from childhood obesity could be solved faster than her hubby brought us the 'summer of recovery'. She is symbolism over substance on steroids. Her depth exceeds her 1 inch deep hubby by at least a few millimeters. She has a nice smile. What more could an informed, educated, thoughtful, electorate ever dare to hope for?Reply |
I forgot to mention, the great political minds of our time, george clooney, sarah jessica parker, barbara streisand, janeane garofla, jamie foxx, fiddy cent, lil wayne, jay z, beyonce, dennis rodman and all the rest of them would dump hildabeast faster than you can say "Bush's fault" if and when she decides to run.Reply |
Evelyn, thank you for highlighting Obama's hypocrisy. After getting elected with, "Bush is a corrupt idiot", Obama then by his actions, says, "Bush was right."Reply |
. . . and yet voters continue to believe campaign rhetoric and media pundits.Reply |
Evelyn, "Most of the Americans who elected Barack Obama in 2008 intended their vote as a total repudiation of the policies and personnel of the preceding George W. Bush administration." That is the media narrative that has become a finishing note the media's endless hatred of Bush and 8 years of bashing him. By using that conclusion they are able to give themselves credit for obama winning because the caused Americans to hate Bush. But I don't agree. obama was elected because people believed he was going to be very generous with other peoples money. Remember the woman who told the reporter that she wasn't going to have to worry about paying her mortgage? Or putting gas in her car? The media knew that wasn't true but they let the double digit IQ voters believe it. The leftist media tried to sell Romney as etch-a-sketch but "hope and change" was the biggest etch-a-sketch political slogan ever conceived of, people were encouraged to draw a picture of what ever hope and change meant to them. And for most of them it was obama getting EVEN with the rich and "spreading the wealth". Now, back to my blocks to critical thinking.Reply |
Another thing about that statement, it gives an huge amount of undeserved credit to a whole lot of stupid people. The overwhelming majority of obama voters didn't and don't have the slightest clue about any of Bush's policies, cabinet, department heads or even which ocean is on the west coast. All they know is every time they accidentally got exposed to the news Bush was being vilified by them and the entertainment crowd, which is the single source of all their worldly knowledge never stopped bashing Bush. obama was gonna spread the wealth. He was gonna make things fair.Reply |
cookie65: In your May 12, 2013 - 8:40 am you wrote: "That is the media narrative ... ." Actually, that was from Ron Unz, as found in The American Conservative and later quoted by Paul Craig Roberts, formerly Ronald Regan's Asst. Sec. of Treasury. Ron Unz's writings may be found HERE.Reply |
oops. R E A G A NReply |
Ron Unz's biography HERE: "A theoretical physics by training, Mr. Unz serves as founder and chairman of UNZ.org, a content-archiving website providing free access to many hundreds of thousands of articles from prominent periodicals of the last hundred and fifty years. He also serves as publisher of The American Conservative, a small opinion magazine, and had previously served as chairman of Wall Street Analytics, Inc., a financial services software company which he founded in New York City in 1987. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard University, Cambridge University, and Stanford University, and is a past first-place winner in the Intel/Westinghouse Science Talent Search. . . . In 1997, Mr. Unz began his "English for the Children" initiative campaign to dismantle bilingual education in California. He drafted Prop. 227 and led the campaign to qualify and pass the measure, culminating in a landslide 61% victory in June 1998, effectively eliminating over one-third of America's bilingual programs. Within less than three years of the new English immersion curriculum, the mean percentile test scores of over a million immigrant students in California rose by an average of 70%." ********* If Ron Unz is a conservative, I might be one after all!!!Reply |
. . . the point being, cookie65, is that to blithely dismiss Ron Unz as incapable of more than simple "media narrative" is, at best, inaccurate.Reply |
Cookie, nice straw man (straw woman), but Mrs. Obama is not going to run for president. Time better spent talking about the IRS/Tea Party situation.Reply |
THIS is a link to keep -- Ron Unz's content-archiving website (referenced above) which provides free access to many hundreds of thousands of articles from prominent periodicals of the last hundred and fifty years.Reply |
HERE is an article certain to offend everyone: "Bush Was a Horrible Crony Nepotist, Who Favored the Super-Elite at The Expense of the Little Guy … Obama's Worse"Reply |
. . . and, since James has raised the IRS/Tea Party matter: "IRS apologizes for targeting tea party. Should heads roll?" - IRS apologizes that its bureaucrats trolled for groups with names that included 'patriot' and 'tea party' before last year's election - HEREReply |
Good morning, James. Happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Longhofer. Since we're the only two here right now, I'll take my dog for a walk before it gets too hot.Reply |
Evelyn, I understand who and where that specific version came from. But it is still part of the larger false consensus that obama got elected because he wasn't Bush. How could such a statement be made when obama was himself a complete mystery to those who voted for him? And he still is. Just like when Romney ran, the media tried everything to make Romney out to be Bush but that wasn't working which is why the played the class warfare card. Lastly, making the claim that obama was an alternative to Bush is silly on the face of it since Bush wasn't running.Reply |
Dogs love to go on walks so they can sniff the world. Dogs have such advanced smell (over us) that they can tell so much of what has happened in the neighborhood (kinda like them reading the doggy newspaper).Reply |
Have you seen the bumper stickers with obama's picture on it looking like a church saint proclaiming "we did it"? I assure you it has nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with race. I know people personally who in their 60's had never been registered to vote who got registered so they could "be a part of history". Again, not the slightest motivation that obama was going to usher in something respectable in government or be different than Bush. Bush was all about big government so in order for obama to be "different" than Bush would mean what exactly?Reply |

James, the politically correct language restriction would be "strawperson". What would keep moochelle from running? I think she has become rather fond of AF1 and the endless parties and vacations at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.Reply |
Another example of the kneepad media. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/05/12/Benghazi-Whistleblower-NBC-Spiked-Obama-VoterReply |
Cookie, you mention race. Just had an amusing thought: What if the president grows an Afro with a comb stuck in the back, and then speaks jive in all his public announcements. What would be the result? Massive strokes flooding the hospitals in the red states? I'm thinking it would be so, and why not as he doesn't have to stand for election again.Reply |
Cookie, she just isn't going to run. There is never been any indication that she has political ambitions, and if so she would want to do a training term in a lower political office first. Hillary is your target and in reserve is Senator Warren.Reply |
OK, off to the store to hunt for my fav sourdough bread (the only one that really tastes like sourdough bread): Naroe's Bakery Sourdough French Bread. Back later.Reply |
From your link, Cookie - - - Victoria Toensing, attorney for Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, says Hicks is a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primaries, and President Obama twice for President. Toensing also said that NBC News "spiked" the story this week, prior to Hicks' dramatic testimony before Congress. Toensing appeared on WMAL-FM in Washington DC Saturday with host Steve Malzberg. "He voted for Hillary in the primary and Obama twice. NBC spiked the story where I told it before the hearings... ...It's just amazing what the press is still trying to do to cover this up. So they try to make this partisan because of the lawyer. Well I'm not the messenger, he's the messenger! The modus operandi is to find anything they can do to just attack."Reply |
Phil, I know Victoria Toensing from my time in DC. No further comment. Yes, I found my sourdough -- five loafs. One in breadbox (yes, I have a breadbox) and four in the freezer.Reply |
Not having a horse in this race and knowing nothing about Victoria Toensing, herewith: "[She] is a part of the DC Republican establishment who is routinely put forward when legal opinions are needed which exculpate Republicans or inculpate Democrats." - HERE ********** Fire away!!!Reply |
Evelyn, thank you for expanding on my no comment regarding Victoria. Would I be out of line to say she is the type of person who would drop you into a pit of poisonous snakes just to enjoy your screams. Oops, I've gone beyond my no comment.Reply |
Evelyn and James - Ms. "T's" credentials diminish her client's exactly how??? Your logic is approximately, "she's a hack so her clients are hacks". Do I have that right. (FYI- my computer is just now out of brain surgery so I might be a little off in some regards.)Reply |
Phil, I made no comment about her current involvement, nor do I have any opinion about her being pro/con in the Benghazi story. My only comment is that if she invites you to look into a snake pit and to move close to the edge, refuse. This has nothing to do with Benghazi and is from 30 years ago.Reply |
ADDED: Oh, I forgot to mention that my wife made some superb scones this afternoon. One of the little pleasures in life.Reply |
Phil: I happily confess to no attempted logic whatsoever. Just looked up Mrs. whatever-her-name-is to see who she is and reported what I found. Undoubtedly you're correct on all counts. As I previously profoundly proclaimed: "Fire away!!!"Reply |
I WIN!!!! - Full credit to computer brain transplant today by GEEKSQUAD - huge upgrade - screw WINDOWS 8!!!Reply |

Indiana Tech takes the safety of its students, faculty, and staff very seriously.
Click here to view Indiana Tech's crisis and emergency management plan.
Additional plans are available for:
All students, employees, and guests should promptly report criminal incidents, accidents and other emergencies to the local police and Indiana Tech security.
In non-emergencies, contact the local police department at the number below to report incidents:
In Fort Wayne individuals may also report incidents in person at the main security office inside of the Pierson Center.
At the Fort Wayne campus, the university has installed emergency two-way call stations (blue light phones) throughout campus for use during emergencies. By pressing the red button on the stations, users can communicate directly with campus security. The location of the station is digitally displayed to the security officer.
To help prevent crimes or serious incidents, the security department in conjunction with members of the emergency crisis management team, issues campus safety alerts in a timely manner to notify community members about certain crimes in and around our community. Members who know of a crime or other serious incident should report that incident as soon as possible to the department of security so that a campus safety alert can be issued, if warranted.
If community members report crimes or serious incidents to other university administrators, those administrators will notify the department of security. Representatives of these offices will promptly notify and collaborate with security and members of the emergency crisis management team to issue a campus safety alert, if one is appropriate.
The department distributes campus safety alerts in three ways. Once the university determines that an alert will be issued:
The department of security maintains a daily crime log that records, by the date the incident was reported, all crimes and other serious incidents that occur on campus, in a non-campus building or property, on public property, or within the department's patrol jurisdiction.
The daily crime log is available for public inspection at the security office located in the Pierson Center. The daily crime log includes the classification, date, time, general location and the status, if this information is known at the time the log is created.
The department posts specific incidents in the daily crime log within two business days of receiving a report of an incident and reserves the right to exclude reports from the log in certain circumstances.
The Campus Security Act requires colleges and universities to:
The Indiana Tech departments of buildings and grounds and security are responsible for preparing and distributing this report. We work with other departments and agencies, such as the department of student services and the Fort Wayne Police Department, to compile the information.
We encourage members of the Indiana Tech community to use this report as a guide for safe practices on and off campus.

Stranger danger in the Ranch
RANCHO SANTA FE — Parents should be aware and warn their children about the "stranger danger" of a man driving a white pickup truck who has tried on several occasions to lure children into his vehicle in Rancho Santa Fe.
Three different attempts were made by this very bold predator Feb. 12 when he tried to lure children into his truck.
The attempts happened twice on La Fremontia and once on Paseo Delicias at about 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon.
Sheriff's detectives say he actually drove up a driveway following a child as he was walking his dog. Later on Paseo Delicias, he pulled into the bike lane near El Romero, in an attempt to trap two girls riding toward them on their scooters.
The man waves, smiles and beckons them to come to him.
He is described as a Hispanic male, between 30 and 50 with a thin, bushy mustache wearing large, aviator-style sunglasses.
His is driving an older white pickup, with slightly tinted windows. It has two ladders hanging on one side, attached vertically. The truck has boxes and gardening supplies in the bed.
A man matching the same description, but driving a dark-colored truck, tried to lure children into the truck in Solana Beach over the same weekend.
Detective Randy Avila, lead investigator on the case, said he is not yet sure if the two instances are related, but the most important thing children can do if they are approached is to get away fast.
"Go to where other people are," he said. "Don't run into the woods or brush. Make noise. Scream. Yell. Attract attention to yourself."
He also advises parents to do role playing exercises with their children asking them what they would do in certain situations like if they were approached by a stranger in a vehicle.
"Discuss it with your kids," he said.
Avila said that people with this type of predatory instinct arrive at actual child abduction in phases.
"A lot of time they are building up courage before they actually strike," he said. "I don't know where in the process he is. My worst fear is that he is building up courage to do it, maybe not in Rancho Santa Fe because there has been so much publicity, but in another community."
The positive thing about this is that it is bringing awareness to the community that it can happen anywhere," he said.
He said that since Del Dios Highway is a major north/south thoroughfare it carries a lot of traffic.
"All different kinds of people you don't know are going through your village every day," he said.
School officials in the area ask that parents not drop off their children before there is supervision on the playground. For Rancho Santa Fe, that time is 7:30 a.m.
Matt Wellhouser, chief of the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, said that because such things don't happen very often locally, it might be a good time for parents to refresh the memories of their children about how to react to someone who beckons them to a vehicle.
"It's like teaching them to cross the street," he said. "You teach them to look both ways. It might be a good thing to go through the drill, what they should do and not do and what the dangers are. You don't know what these guys are up to."
Sgt. Chris Serritella of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said if a child is approached, 911 should be called immediately.
"We need to get out there in a timely fashion," he said. "If we hear about it much later, it doesn't help."
Anyone who sees a man matching this description or who has more information should call the sheriff's office at (858) 565-5200.

Sub-mediocre and well past when the story broke. Surely, you're better than this crapola. Oh wait, you're at the Coast Fake News. Guess not.
Brendan- seeing as we are a biweekly, should we have ignored the story altogether because it was too old?
Thank you for taking the time to write.

Brendan – after everything that has been going on recently I think any story warning parents and childern is a good idea. Even if it's a few days after the story breaks.
Laurie – keep doing a great job – thank you!!

According to Dr. Wade, neuropsychologists and lawyers should be looking for "hard" evidence such as skull fracture or brain bleeds, the later of which would be detected by a CT scan without contrast. He also says mild traumatic brain injuries are too subtle to be detected by CT scans or other diagnostic devices and typically are only detectable by neuropsychological testing, which test various cognitive areas such as memory, concentration, and executive function skills. Is Dr. Wade advocating for early neuropschological testing of people who suffer concussions? If not, why isn't he telling us that it is important to look for changes in neuropsychological function following mTBI? If one has a brain bleed or mid-line shift detectable on CT scan, one probably has a severe to moderate brain injury,

While giving a recent wrap-up on the election and its effects on issues relating to travel and tourism, Rick Webster, director of government affairs for the Travel Industry Association of America, jokingly downplayed the election outcome. "I think it's a given in Washington that regardless of whether Bush or Kerry won, the most important person may not even have been on the ballot," he said. "That's Alan Greenspan. A steady hand at the Fed may do more to assist the economy than anything that comes out of a Bush second term."
And a strong economy is what meeting industry watchers are hoping for as they look to the near future. "The meeting economy is coming back," says Colin Rorrie, president of Meeting Professionals International. "Corporations are spending more money on meetings.…The overall picture is that a growing economy will mean more meetings."
Some policies of the new Bush Administration could further stimulate meeting business, while others could have a negative impact. We took a look at various factors, from homeland security to visa issues, to try to predict what lies ahead.
Over the last three years the dollar has lost about one-third of its value against the euro. Economists generally agree that the weak dollar can be blamed on the U.S. trade and budget deficits, which skyrocketed under the current administration, and see few signs of change in a second Bush term. And while the effects of a weak dollar can be painful — more expensive imported goods, higher bond yields leading to higher interest rates — there is one clear benefit. As the TIA's Webster puts it: "We're a bargain."
Foreign individual travelers are more likely to come to the United States because they can buy more. For example, tourism from the United Kingdom to Florida is at a four-year high, according to a report by the Association of British Travel Agents.
The dollar's weakness is apparently having some effect on meetings in the United States as well. A cheaper dollar does make it less expensive to do business in the United States, and an MPI report issued in January shows that travelers are arriving in increasing numbers to attend meetings here. But if foreign travelers, particularly Europeans, can buy more here, the opposite holds true as well: Americans are less able to afford overseas travel, and anecdotal evidence shows that this may be deterring planners from looking at Europe as a meeting destination.
The situation won't change any time soon. "What is really striking," says Ashraf Laidi, chief currency analyst with MG Financial Group of New York, "is the unanimously negative sentiment against the dollar." Laidi expects the dollar to continue to decline over the short term. "The majority of analysts believe the dollar will fall to $1.38 against the euro" by early this year, he says.
The reason? "The twin deficits [trade and budget], which account for 10 percent of the GDP," he says, adding that when it comes to the budget deficit, "the sentiment [against the dollar] has worsened since the election. The belief is the Bush Administration will do nothing to temper its profligate spending. The re-election … is an explicit continuation of the policy status quo, which is the continuation of the budget deficit — and that's a negative for the U.S. dollar."
Another major issue affecting travel has been the soaring cost of oil. Expensive oil not only drives up the price of travel, but it also fuels the explosion in the U.S. trade deficit, which is helping to drive down the value of the dollar.
Prior to the election, many analysts believed that a Kerry victory could drive down the cost of oil because a Kerry presidency could have a settling effect on the volatile Middle East. Now, with a second Bush administration, the war in Iraq, and Bush's opposition to using U.S. strategic oil reserves, oil prices are not expected to come down.
This translates into a continuing competitive environment in the airline industry, particularly as airlines struggle with excess capacity. "There is so much capacity now that everyone is fighting to fill the last seats," says Darryl Jenkins, director of the Aviation Institute at The George Washington University. Airlines will continue to have to "suck it in" and eat the extra costs, he says. "The days of the airlines making a lot of money off the business traveler are long gone."
This could mean opportunity for meeting planners. "Certainly if you are smart in the way you book, you will have a lot of flexibility this year," Jenkins says. "And it will be this way for a long time to come." (As we went to press, Delta Air Lines announced plans to overhaul its entire pricing policy, cutting fares across the board. Other airlines are expected to follow suit. Look for a related report in our next issue.)
Historically the lodging industry performs well in the first year of a new administration. So far, so good, says Bjorn Hanson, a lodging consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, who notes that the "business community, as indicated by the stock market, is pleased by the outcome of the election."
The hotel industry is creeping back toward performance levels reminiscent of the glory days of the late 1990s. A recent report by the Hospitality Research Group, the research affiliate of PKF Consulting of Atlanta, found that by the end of 2004, the top 50 U.S. hotel markets had achieved an average occupancy of 64.8 percent — a 5.4 percent gain over 2003. And occupancy is forecast to increase to 66.6 percent this year, with accompanying increases in the average daily room rates.
During the election campaign, Bush talked about overhauling the tax system; however, pundits see little chance for implementation of a major reform plan. Instead, some analysts predict a Bush second-term push for tax simplification by reducing credits and deductions while lowering individual and corporate tax rates. Hanson believes the lodging industry will follow closely any attempt by the Administration to follow through on a tax simplification proposal. "This is generally viewed to be positive for the lodging industry," Hanson says.
Several other possible second-term tax initiatives could have an effect on the lodging industry, business travel, and meetings. Business and travel associations, such as the Business Travel Roundtable, have long lobbied for full restoration of the business meal entertainment tax deduction and the spousal travel tax deduction. Past congressional action reduced the business meal deduction from 80 percent to 50 percent and eliminated what had been a 100 percent spousal travel deduction.
A recent study taken within the G8 economic nations found that foreign travelers are avoiding the United States because of their opposition to U.S. foreign policy. The poll, taken by independent market researcher GMI Inc. of Mercer Island, Wash., surveyed 8,000 people from the eight countries, and it found that 55 percent of Japanese, 36 percent of Germans, and 32 percent of French are less likely to travel to the United States because of its "unilateral" war on terrorism and foreign policies.
This sentiment most likely translates to group travel. "I do believe the image of the U.S. is suffering," says Rick Webster, director of government affairs for the Travel Industry Association of America, adding that the negative images Europeans and other have of the United States must "enter into the minds of decision-makers when it comes to bringing meetings to the U.S."
Another issue causing some companies to cancel international meetings scheduled for the United States is the increasing difficulty of getting visas. The good news is that the Department of State has taken steps to address the delays. The department now has a Web site that tells visitors how long it takes to get a visa in a particular country. "This helps travelers with planning," says Webster.
There are also signs that the administration is being more flexible when it comes to the Visa Waiver Program, under which residents of 27 countries can travel to the United States without a visa. The Bush Administration, as well as travel and tourism groups, had lobbied for a two-year extension of the requirement that the 27 VWP countries include biometrics in their passports. Congress ultimately accepted only a one-year extension to October 2005.
In the meantime, anyone from a VWP country attending a meeting in the United States must go through the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program at all U.S. airports and seaports. US-VISIT requires travelers to provide digital index-finger scans and a digital photograph. If, by the end of September, any of the VWP countries do not meet the biometric passport requirement, and the United States does not grant another extension, travelers from those countries will have to go through the visa process. Webster expects to be lobbying for another extension later this year.
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has established a "professionalism initiative," Webster says, through which immigration officers are urged to deal with foreign visitors with consideration. "There is a huge culture change," Webster says. "There is a recognition that immigration officers are front-line ambassadors of the U.S."
Analyzing Intelligence
The Intelligence Bill passed this past December contains several provisions that can potentially affect meetings, particularly when it comes to travel:
A section directing the Secretary of State to implement a registered travelers program. This would not only help inspectors prevent terrorists from entering the United States, it would expedite the passage of previously screened travelers across U.S. borders.
A directive to increase from five to 25 the number of pre-inspection stations in foreign airports. These stations, observers say, would facilitate the travel of admissible foreign visitors while reducing the number of inadmissible foreign visitors.
The extension of a section of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act that requires airlines operating on the same routes to fly passengers with tickets on defunct airlines if space is available. Airlines are allowed to charge passengers up to $50 on a roundtrip basis, and travelers must make those alternative arrangements within 60 days of an airline ceasing operations.
A requirement that all visa applicants between the ages of 14 and 79 submit to face-to-face interviews. This essentially codifies a practice in use since 2003.
A provision calling for an increase in the number of consular officers. Travel industry groups have maintained that a shortage of consular officers has increased the time foreign visitors must wait for visas.

MADRID TOWNSHIP - Maine hikers know the name Myron Avery, if not from the Lubec native's work establishing the Appalachian Trail in the 1930s, then from the 4,088-foot peak in the Bigelow Preserve named after him.
Maine Appalachian Trail Club President David Field can take his rightful place alongside the late Myron Avery in the hiking annals for the decades of work he's done in rerouting the Pine Tree State's branch of the 2,200-mile path that connects 14 states.

At a spry 72, David Field can point to a long list of lifetime achievements in enhancing the Appalachian Trail – and he's still pondering new paths that can connect more of the state's mountain peaks.

WHEN: 6:30 p.m. Sept. 24
WHERE: Buchanan Alumni House, University of Maine

But some believe another Mainer today is taking his place alongside Avery in the hiking annals of Maine, and in the history books about the 2,200-mile AT that runs from Georgia to Mount Katahdin.
David Field of Hampden was inducted into the Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame on June 7 for his work relocating the majority of the 281-mile trail in Maine over the course of some 30 years. During that time Field took the trail off the logging roads where it first ran and put it in the woods.
According to Lester Kenway, the current president of the Maine Appalachian Trail Club, Field is responsible for rerouting much of the trail in Maine, and for taking it up and over 10 mountain peaks here.
"David's contribution to the final route of the AT is second to no other individual. Avery pursued a dream to connect a trail, and he'd walk down a road 10 miles to get that. Dave was designing a trail that crossed the mountain tops. That was a lot more time-consuming to get done," said Kenway, a member of the MATC since 1974.
The former dean of the Forestry School at the University of Maine, Field rerouted the trail here over a 59-year career as a volunteer trail steward. The end product? Some of the most challenging and most rewarding hiking along the AT.
"Maine's 281 miles are generally considered the most difficult of all 14 states," according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
And Maine nearly was excluded from the trail.
But in the 1920s, Avery, a Maine lawyer and explorer, got behind the movement launched by Benton MacKaye to create the trail.
The long-distance trail that was finally completed in 1937 was supposed to end at Mount Washington in New Hampshire, but Avery is recognized for advocating that it end in Maine, on Mount Katahdin.
Myron H. Avery Peak in Dead River Township was named in his honor to celebrate this contribution.
But what Avery did to put Maine on the national trail map, Field did to put the AT in Maine in the woods, away from the roads and high up on the mountain tops.
Kenway said in the 1930s, before the trail was completed, much of it ran on tote roads. And after the river drives ended in the 1970s, many of those dirt byways became gravel, as lumber began to be moved by truck.
"David was involved in what we call the relocation program. He was overseer of the trail in western Maine. And he started scouting, planning, flagging where the relocations were needed," Kenway said.
To advocate for Maine, Field was a member of the Conservancy board of directors in the 1980s and served as the chair in the early 1990s.
In recent years he collected and cataloged letters related to the history of the AT in Maine from 1927 through 2011. That book, "Along Maine's Appalachian Trail," was published last year.
But his greatest contributions were on the ground, literally in the dense woods and on Maine's mountain summits.
"I can remember walking from Monson to Katahdin in the 1970s, before it was rerouted, and walking on miles of road, as much as a 10-mile section. It was hard on your feet and not very interesting," Kenway said of the original AT in Maine.
As the dean of the Forestry School at the University of Maine, Field knew many in Maine's forestry industry. His professional connections helped in his volunteer work.

It's an impressive vista that's to be appreciated on the back side of Saddleback Mountain, where trails that David Field blazed now take hikers well into the highlands instead of along the roads.

Information Literacy at Pace
What is Information Literacy?
According to the American Library Association:
"Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to 'recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.' (American Library Association. Presidential Committee on Information Literacy. Final Report. (Chicago: American Library Association, 1989.)
The Association of College and Research Libraries expanded upon this definition in their 2000 document Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education:
"Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and assume greater control over their own learning.
An information literate individual is able to:
- Determine the extent of information needed,
- Access the needed information effectively and efficiently,
- Evaluate information and its sources critically,
- Incorporate selected information into one's knowledge base,
- Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose,
- Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally."
Middle States and Information Literacy
The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Pace University's accrediting body, has embraced these elements of Information Literacy, and includes this language in their current revision of the Characteristics of Excellence in Higher Education: Standards for Accreditation.
Information Literacy at Pace
The Pace University Library Instructional Services Team works from the ACRL definition of Information Literacy as we develop and design our instructional programs.
Our First-Year Information Literacy Program - consisting of UNV 101 (Freshmen Seminar: Introduction to University Community) and ENG 110 and ENG 120 - as well as most of our custom-designed, course specific sessions incorporate elements of the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. The learning outcomes identified for each of these programs and sessions are selected from the Standards, and appropriate teaching, learning and assessment activities are designed to address these outcomes
- Information Literacy has been identified as one of the Core Learning Outcomes (after following the link, scroll down to see the Learning Outcomes). The Core Curriculum Revision Task Force has identified this learning outcome as:
"Information Literacy and Research – [the ability to] locate, evaluate and make efficient and ethical use of information resources."
Faculty - Librarian Collaboration and Information Literacy
Currently librarians collaborate with faculty members on:
- the development of library and Information Literacy instructional sessions
- the creation and refinement of effective research assignments
- collection development efforts in relation to research assignments and needed materials
- instructing faculty on the availability and use of library resources
- providing an explanation for faculty on the concepts of Information Literacy
- assisting faculty as they integrate Information Literacy into their teaching
- sharing the teaching of Information Literacy concepts
- illuminating the benefits of Information Literacy for students, faculty and librarians.
We look forward to continuing to partner with faculty members as they integrate elements of Information Literacy into their course instruction. We will be adding examples of collaboration to this web site, so check back for updates.
Please feel free to contact any member of the Instructional Services Team if you are interested in partnering with us in this effort.
