Teaching vs. fishing
Posted by: Lindsay Harmon
This recent post by Jessica Olin of Letters to a Young Librarian has got me reflecting on the balance between "teaching our patrons to fish" and just answering their questions. Olin writes that her stance, like that of many librarians, is to walk her patrons (college students) through the process of finding the answer to their questions. Her conundrum: Is this good customer service?
As a fellow academic librarian, I also tend toward Olin's philosophy of "making them work for it," and I followed it in my previous jobs at public libraries as well. But I do think that she poses an interesting question when she writes, "How would I react if my mechanic said some version of, 'I know what's causing that grinding noise when you turn left on hot days, but let's see if you can figure it out for yourself'?"
In an era where many libraries and librarians are being forced to prove their relevance to their patrons and their communities, where is the balance between teaching and fishing? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

James Cameron Wants Louis Leterrier for 'Fantastic Voyage' RemakeMovie News By Scott Beggs on October 25, 2010 | Comments (1)
Fantastic Voyage is going to be huge. There's no word yet on whether James Cameron is building a special ship to go inside the human body for production design research, but the promise of a massive budget should take the 1966 sci-fi flick into the big leagues of action not seen since the "Disney Body Wars" attraction. In order to deliver that, Cameron apparently wants Clash of the Titans director Louis Leterrier to take the reigns on the project – which is all but ready to roll in 2011 with a near-finished script (from Armageddon and Alien vs Predator: Requiem writer Shane Salerno) and heavy design work from Cameron's Avatar team. Instead of calling up the production designers on Honey I Shrunk the Kids, they'll be going totally CGI once the team is inside the body. That prospect means that instead of re-casting Raquel Welch's role, the least they could do is spend the money to digitally drop the younger version of her into the new movie. If they refuse, they should cast Christina Hendricks. [Deadline Tampa]

I have the butter dish mold. Yesterday I did the Base and it cracked. I put in 18 oz. of coe96 glass then fired it using the schedule that was on the web site. I've done this a few times and ended up cracking the one mold. I've looked at it at full fuse and looks good, and I've looked at it once it cooled down and has shut down and good then but crack once its completely cool. Fired again and didn't look until completely cooled down still cracked. I don't know what else to do here. Have a few people wanting one.Add a Comment

Marking the one-year anniversary of difficult contract talks with The Associated Press, staffers covered by the News Media Guild are participating in multiple protests today. The Guild has pushed for affordable health care and job security during a year of bargaining that began July 22, 2013, while the company continues to demand major concessions. Bargaining is scheduled for today and Wednesday, July 22-23. Protest highlights include a four-day byline strike, "Happy Anniversary" cards being signed by members and sent to bosses and AP management, a lunchtime rally outside AP's NYC headquarters and lots of social media action. Photo: Chicago AP staffers blow out candles on a cupcake to mark the not-so-happy anniversary.
The Albany Guild is vigorously fighting the firing of advertising sales employee Lindsay Connors, a Guild activist who the union says has been the target of management harassment and unfair standards. The local describes Connors, a single mother of four, as "one of the best and brightest employees" at the Times Union. "No one among Lindsay's peers believes the company's fraudulent claims that Lindsay is anything but a stellar employee," Albany President Tim O'Brien said. "She can hold her head up high. The truth is known to all her colleagues and many friends here." Connors is pictured here with the 2014 Guild Service Award, the union's highest honor. It was presented to her in April at the Guild's multi-council meeting.
Investment commitments and funding of more than $120 million, a property purchase for $12.8 million, construction of a new biological sciences building—all unanimously approved by the University of Michigan Board of Regents without public deliberation or discussion. Those allegations, among others, are at the heart of a lawsuit filed last week by the Guild-represented Detroit Free Press and the Lansing State Journal, in the Michigan Court of Claims. The papers are suing the Regents under the state Open Meetings Act and the state constitution, which both guarantee in different ways public access to government meetings.
The technology journalist Kara Swisher likes to call herself Sherlock Homo, but on a spring evening in Austin, where she'd come for the SXSW Interactive conference, she wasn't following any particular trail of clues. Padding through the crowd on the second floor of Perry's Steakhouse, where a venture-capital firm and a money-management firm were throwing a party, she'd chatted briefly with Steve Case, founder of AOL, who greeted her with the wary intimacy one might show a pit bull of uncertain loyalty. So begins New York magazine's sprawling profile of Swisher, a former Guild member at The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal.
Pushing for whistleblowing in the nation's capital, the new organization ExposeFacts, part of the Institute for Public Accuracy, has funded 13 billboards near Capitol Hill, the Justice Department, the White House, the Government Accountability Office, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the State Department, a popular bookstore at Dupont Circle and other prominent locations. The six-foot billboards display a message from Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg: "Don't do what I did. Don't wait until a new war has started, don't wait until thousands more have died, before you tell the truth with documents that reveal lies or crimes or internal projections of costs and dangers. You might save a war's worth of lives." Expose Facts bills itself as "For Whistleblowing, Journalism and Democracy. Learn more at www.exposefacts.org.
hanks partly to the Pacific Media Workers Guild's efforts, a city charter amendment aimed at improving transparency in local government and politics will go before Oakland voters in November. The amendment to give Oakland's Public Ethics Commission broader authority, more staffing and greater independence and strengthen whistleblower protections has the support of the PMWG, other journalists' groups, current and former commissioners and scores of good-government advocates. Oakland's eight-member City Council voted 7-0 on July 15 to put the amendment on the ballot after hearing from about two dozen activists, including a PMWG representative, who all supported the measure. The PMWG, acting on a recommendation from its Legislative and Political Committee, voted to back the amendment at a joint meeting of the Local's Executive Committee, Representative Assembly and general membership on June 21.

The two surviving photographers at the Rockford Register Star and Freeport Journal-Standard are under siege. During the latest round of bargaining for a first contract at these newspapers, the company submitted a proposal that would allow it to outsource photography. The papers already make extensive use of freelancers. This proposal would allow the company to eliminate the remaining staff positions. Jeff Gordon, president of the St. Louis-based United Media Guild writes, "This is not an idle GateHouse threat. After the Dow Jones Local Media Group came under GateHouse Media control, that chain's flagship newspaper, the Middletown Times Herald-Record, laid off all four of its photographers so it could exclusively use freelancers."
In an exhaustive interview with The Guardian, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden urged lawyers, journalists, doctors, accountants, priests and others with a duty to protect confidentiality to upgrade security in the wake of the spy surveillance revelations. "What last year's revelations showed us was irrefutable evidence that unencrypted communications on the internet are no longer safe. Any communications should be encrypted by default," he said. Among many other subjects discussed, Snowden said he could live with being sent to Gitmo, but if tried for leaking top-secret documents he wants a trial by jury, not judge; he vehemently denied being a Russian spy; and he described an NSA culture in which nude photographs of people under surveillance are passed around among employees.

The Beauty of Pollination
Friends and GMG readers share the most beautiful treasures, including the following film, sent in by Mary Weissbaum. Mary writes, "The hummingbird doing rolls chasing a bug is neat! Watch closely and check out the baby bat under its mama (@ ~2 min, 38 sec). Unreal !! If you never knew what goes on in the garden when you aren't paying attention, watch this – some of the finest filmography you will ever see." Thank you Mary!
I have posted this video before and think it is worth seeing again, and again!
Europe Bans Bee-Harming Pesticides
Europe took a significant step as a majority of EU member states voted for a partial ban of three bee-killer pesticides. This, despite fierce behind-the-scenes lobbying from insecticide firms Syngenta and Bayer. "A series of high-profile scientific studies has linked neonicotinoids to huge losses in the number of queens produced and big increases in "disappeared" bees – those that fail to return from foraging trips. Pesticide manufacturers and UK ministers have argued that the science is inconclusive and that a ban would harm food production, but conservationists say harm stemming from dying pollinators is even greater." (The Guardian, UK).
It is a landmark vote and was supported by petitions signed by millions of people. Although it is only a two year ban, the hope is the ban will give the beleaguered bee a break, and allow time for reexamination of data. Under the EU measures, restricions on the following apply: for treating seeds, soil and leaves on flowering crops attractive to bees such as corn, sunflowers and rapeseed (the source of canola oil). The products may still be used on crops like winter wheat for which the danger to bees is deemed to be small. Use by home gardeners will be prohibited.
The three banned insecticides are imidacloprid, thiametoxam, and clothianidin. The neonicotinoid I see commonly listed on pesticides that are readily available to the home gardener is imidacloprid. I urge every home gardener not to use pesticides. I don't use them, ever, in my own garden, and never in both the private and public gardens that I design and maintain. Several years ago, I reported that Alain Baraton, the head gardener at the Palace of Versailles stopped using pesticides at the palace gardens. Within the year, a natural balance began to take hold in the gardens, including the return of songbirds to the gardens which in turn eat the insects. If the no-pesticide policy is successful at Versailles, which receives millions upon millions of annual visitors, a pestide ban can certainly be implemented for our private homes and public spaces.
A dear friend of mine, Heidi Kost-Gross, is Vice Chair of the Natural Resources Commission for the Town of Wellesley (garden club readers–she is also President of the Federated Garden Club of Massachusetts). Heidi has been instrumental in pesticide reduction throughout Massachusetts. The Wellesley Natural Resources Commission has created an outstanding Pesticide Reduction Resource Guide for Citizens and Municipalities of Massachusetts, which is available for free to distribute anything found in the guide.

Flowering Dogwood
Is there a tree more lovely in flower than the North American native dogwood?
Whether flowering with the classic white bracts, the stunning rubra bracts, or the less often seen pale, creamy rose-tinted bracts, our native dogwood (Cornus florida) never ceases to give pause for beauty given.
At this time of year when traveling along southern New England roadways we are graced by the beauty of the dogwood dotting sunny roadside borders where meets the woodland edge. The bracts and flowers emerge before the leaves, serving only to heighten their loveliness. The fresh beauty of the bract-clad boughs is offset by the impressionistic symphony of tree foliage unfurling, shimmering in hues of apple green, chartruese, moss, and lime peel.
*Bract – A bract is a leaf-like structure surrounding a flower or inflorescence. The colorful bracts of poinsettias, the hot pink bracts of bougainvillea, and the bracts of dogwoods are often mistaken for flower petals.
The open florets (pea-green colored) and unopened buds are surrounded by the rose red-shaded bracts.

Ray McNulty: Motta happy to be a part of Notre Dame's resurgence
VERO BEACH — All across America, from the subways of New York to the freeways of Los Angeles, they are waking up the echoes and shaking down the thunder.
They are cheering and cheering for Old Notre Dame.
Especially in South Bend.
"You can definitely feel the excitement around campus," Zeke Motta said Thursday. "Everyone is so pumped up."
Motta should know.
The former Vero Beach High School standout is a starting safety — and a Thorpe Award semifinalist — on an undefeated Notre Dame football team that has reclaimed its lost glory and played its way into the chase for the national championship.
He is one of the anchors on one of the best defenses in America. He is a big part of this special season at what is again a very special place in college football.
"People are starting to believe in us again," said Motta, a senior who has played in every game since arriving as an early-enrollment freshman in 2009. "People recognize that we're Notre Dame, that Notre Dame football is something to be proud of. It's an exciting time, and it's a blessing to be part of this team."
The Fighting Irish are 8-0 and coming off a rousing 30-13 victory at Oklahoma — a game that took them to No. 3 in the BCS rankings and proved they deserve to be in the national championship discussion. In fact, Notre Dame's triumph Saturday night was more impressive than any win posted by Alabama, Kansas State or Oregon thus far.
Yet, as Notre Dame celebrates its 125th year of football, the Fighting Irish confront the very real possibility that, even if they finish 12-0, even if they roll through their next three games and beat Southern California in their regular-season finale, they won't get a shot at the title.
They could get shut out of the too-often-bogus BCS championship game despite putting together a season in which they will have knocked off Michigan, Stanford, BYU, Oklahoma and Southern Cal.
They could get crushed by those ridiculous computers or rejected by wrong-headed voters who believe winning isn't good enough, that margins of victory should matter.
"Our focus," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said, "is on what we can control."
And that's winning games.
Kelly, whose teams finished 8-5 in his first two seasons at Notre Dame, has refused to engage in discussions of what might happen. He is too busy tending to what needs to happen.
"We know what's being said out there and all the excitement is great, but we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves," said Motta, who ranks No. 2 on the team with 42 tackles. "Coach Kelly and his staff have done a great job of managing the hype. They won't let us look past anyone. They've made sure the leaders on the team keep the younger guys focused.
"At this point, we can't afford to take any team lightly, regardless of records or what they've done this season. Every team we play is going to be up for us. We expect to get their best shot, especially when they come here, and we have to be ready for it."
The Fighting Irish will spend their next three Saturdays playing at home against Pittsburgh, at Boston College and at home against Wake Forest. Then they will go to Los Angeles to play against arch-rival Southern California.
Barring a jarring upset, Notre Dame will be 11-0 when they head west.
"We're not good enough to not prepare properly," Kelly said, "and our players know that."
So they work hard. They push each other. They believe in each other.
More important: They stay focused on the task at hand and make sure no one forgets what it took to get this storied program to where it is today — to where it was for decades, to a lofty place Notre Dame always has strived to be, to a championship level many college football fans doubted it could ever reach again.
"I didn't grow up dreaming of playing for Notre Dame," said Motta, whose father, Bill, was his defensive coordinator at Vero Beach before taking the coach's job at St. Edward's. "But when you get here, it's all around you. You see it. You can feel it.
"You look at the history of the school and the tradition of great football, and you can't help but set that standard for yourself. The guys on this team came here with those expectations, and we're all committed to making it happen. The work, the sacrifice, the camaraderie and chemistry ... We're like brothers, playing for each other, believing in each other and believing in our coaches.
"To see how it's all paying off is very fulfilling, very enjoyable, very special."
It's supposed to be special.
It's Notre Dame.
It's the Golden Dome and the Gipper. It's Rockne and Rudy. It's "Touchdown Jesus" and Leprechauns and the most celebrated fight song in college football.
Not everyone embraces the place, of course. Not everyone gets caught up in all that history and tradition. Plenty of folks root against the Fighting Irish, who haven't won a championship since 1988 but remain independent in football with their own TV network and a seat at the BCS table.
For the legions of Notre Dame fans, however, this has been a season to celebrate, a reason for hope and a cause to stand tall and proud and sing.
Onward to victory.
