text: KQ Cargo extends Ksh1.5 million sponsorship to Rhino Charge Cash will go to supporting conservation of 3 key national water towers May 8, 2012……Kenya Airways cargo division, KQ Cargo, today announced its sponsorship of this year's Rhino Charge Event which is seeking to raise money to support the construction of electric fences around the country's three largest water towers. The national carrier has set aside Ksh1.5 million through Cargo, to fund the activities of the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust, which spearheads the conservation effort. The Trust has in recent years spearheaded the construction of an electric fence around the Aberdares Range, one of the country's principal water towers. It plans to expand the scope of its conservation efforts to cover the Mau-Eburru Ranges and Mt Kenya. According to Kenya Airways Chief Operating Officer Mbuvi Ngunze, of the total sponsorship, Ksh750,000 will go toward directly supporting the Trust's activities. The rest will be used to support one of the teams participating in this year's event called Global Freight. "Protecting our forest ecosystems through initiatives such the electric fencing of the Aberdares not only preserves a rich natural heritage but also minimizes incidences of human –wildlife conflict," noted Ngunze. General Manager KQ Cargo Sauda Rajab said the sponsorship underlined the airline's focus on global best practices which emphasize environmentally sound business operations. "As a business that is attuned to global best practices, we see it as our responsibility to support environmental protection and conservation. This is imperative to sustainable business development," said Rajab. This is the first time that KQ Cargo is sponsoring the event, a grueling motorsport competition that attracts dozens of contestants each year. Kenya has five main water towers namely, Mt Kenya, Aberdares, Mau, Cherangany and Mt Elgon. Some of them are home to the country's richest flora and fauna resources. Mbuvi noted that Kenya Airways had an ongoing Carbon Offset Programme in partnership with IATA through which the airline offers its passengers an opportunity to offset carbon dioxide emissions related to their flights. The carbon offset contributions collected on behalf of passengers are invested in environmental conservation projects in Kenya. KQ Cargo operates one B 747-400 freighter and had revenues amounting to over Ksh7 billion in 2010/11.

David Akers (1975/88): Although the 1923 is widely considered to be a "common" date, it is really only deserving of that status in MS-63 or lower condition. In MS-64 condition, this issue is surprisingly difficult to locate and true gems are far more rare than all but the long time specialists in this series realize. Above the MS-65 level, the 1923 is a major rarity and I do not recall ever seeing one that I would grade a full MS-67. Other specialists have reported seeing a very few such specimens, however.
The 1923 is generally very well struck, although many, if not most, specimens are a little weak on the Capitol building and the stars beneath it. The rim is usually sharp and square, often with a partial wire edge. All specimens are fully frosty. The color is typically a light to medium orange or coppery gold. Some examples show evidence of "mounding" or die bulging beneath the topmost stars.

Katie, Jamie, and Suri
Kevin Winter/ Michael Tran/ VALERIE MACON/ Jason Kempin/ Kevin Mazur/ Lester Cohen/ Christopher Polk/ KCA2015/ Getty Images
Katie Holmes took Suri to the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night. And Suri clearly enjoyed it. Arms up in the air, trying to shove air balloons into her clutch…she's 8 now, and this event hits all the sweet spots for someone her age. It must have been magic. By the way, Jamie Foxx was also at Kids' Choice on Saturday. Full Story
Yesterday was Katie Day
Remember when Katie Holmes was a ninja? How she left Tom Cruise without Tom Cruise knowing? Secret cell phones and lawyers undercover and a new security team, all in place well before she blindsided him: I'm leaving you. Then it was every day paps with Suri in New York, part protection and part promotion. Full Story
Katie & Jamie for real
Holyyyy F-CK. There have been rumours for over a year. But nothing solid to substantiate it. Until now. US Weekly has the major exclusive: Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx. Together. Holding hands. Someone crept a photo. Like someone sold them out. Because this. I mean this kind of picture only happens when you're on the inside. Full Story
Emma & Andrew's first reviews
Wenn, Gareth Cattermole/ Getty
After starting in Australia, then moving to Asia, and returning to LA for a few days for some interviews, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are now in London to promote The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on a few European stops before the big NYC premiere on April 24. Here they are at the London photocall and arriving at Radio One this morning, Emma in a Diane Keaton-inspired outfit, although Diane would probably be in oxfords. Full Story
Press tour of FUN!
You love your job. You get to travel the world talking about your job. You are Spider-Man after all. And… bonus! You're in love and your girlfriend is doing her job right beside you. One of the most energetic party people in Hollywood is along for the ride too. Life can't really suck, right? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 press tour looks like it doesn't suck at all, especially not for Andrew Garfield who might actually be my most favourite famous person right now. Full Story
The Annie trailer
The first trailer for the new Annie movie was released yesterday starring Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan. God I want it to be good. I want it to be good so bad, SO BAD. But this trailer is scaring the sh-t out of me. Let's start with Cameron Diaz. I don't believe her. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake: Oscar one colour
Fame, Kevin Winter/ Michael Buckner/ Getty Images
Mrs Timberlake wore Chanel Haute Couture, pretty much right off the runway. And since Chanel dresses so few people, it was certainly some kind of statement – she doesn't have to wear Cavalli. Fine. But if I were Karl Lagerfeld, I'd reconsider for next time. Because she managed to make Chanel totally unremarkable. Full Story
Katie's front row friends
Larry Busacca/ Getty
Katie Holmes calls herself a fashion designer too, even though she hasn't presented at NYFW for a few seasons. That might be the excuse though if asked why she doesn't support her friend Victoria Beckham at her shows. But she did sit front row at Donna Karan's 30th anniversary last night soooooo… Posh and Katie totally broke up. Full Story
Emma & Andrew are back too
Mike Windle /Getty Images
Just as it's been a while since we've seen the Brange, it's also been months since we've seen Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield out together in LA. Emma spent part of the summer working in France on a Woody Allen film and then the two were in England together in late August/early September celebrating his 30th birthday. Full Story
Celebrity or Tabloid?
On the one hand, IN TOUCH Weekly is pretty unreliable. On the other hand, well, celebrities aren't exactly honest all the time. IN TOUCH reported yesterday that Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are secretly dating. Jamie denied it on Entertainment Tonight: "[The rumors] are 100 percent not true. Full Story
Katie and Jamie violate the code?
Wenn, Win McNamee/ Getty
Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are supposedly dating. The Source for this story is IN TOUCH Weekly, so make the sound of a broken horn. The magazine claims that the two are all "Mission: Impossible" about their relationship. In my experience legit sources don't speak like that, but whatever. Full Story

Fitchburg homicide suspect pins crime on associate
Documents: Bobby Hogans admits to robbing victim before slaying
FITCHBURG, Wis. - The only man charged in the shooting death of an Iowa man last week in Fitchburg admitted that he robbed the man but said an associate shot him, according to court documents.
Bobby Hogans, 25, is charged with felony murder and armed robbery in the June 26 slaying. The victim, Samuel Harris, of Dubuque, Iowa, died at the Fairways Apartments complex on Leopold Way.
Hogans knew that Harris had cash on him, which Harris intended to use for drugs, Fitchburg police Lt. Chad Brecklin confirmed to WISC-TV.
"Bobby stated that he did in fact set up a robbery with the victim," states the probable cause statement filed in Dane County Circuit Court late Friday. "Bobby advised that during the robbery he was armed with a handgun and took $2,600 ... from the victim's pocket after he was shot."
But Hogans told a police detective that an associate, Daniel Owens, pulled out a weapon and shot Harris, according to the court documents. Harris suffered a fatal wound after being shot in the torso, according to the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office.
Owens is not charged in the homicide, but he is in jail on an outstanding warrant from the Illinois Department of Corrections. The probable cause statement does not mention another man connected to the case, Roberto Poindexter, who is in jail on a probation hold.
A criminal complaint with more details may be released Tuesday if the suspects appear in court, Brecklin and the Dane County District Attorney's Office said.

7.130 Fresh Start Policy
This policy allows Wright State University graduate students a "fresh start" when changing or returning to graduate programs within the Graduate School.
A "fresh start" is defined as beginning a graduate program and having the graduate academic record amended to reflect no hours attempted and no graduate grade point average for the new program. A new program, for "fresh start" purposes, is defined as one which a student transfers into while in active status or returns to from inactive status. All courses and grades previously taken at Wright State University will remain on the student's academic record.
Course work completed in a previous WSU or other institutions' graduate programs will not be automatically transferred or applied to the requirements of the new program. The new graduate program may, however, recommend to the Graduate School which courses previously taken are acceptable for transfer into the new program. In no cases will the transfer credit exceed 50% of the required graduate credit hours required for the new program. All credit recommended for acceptance must meet the transfer credit policy (Sec.4.70). After the Dean, Graduate School, approves the transfer credit, the program advisor should enter the courses on the student's program of study. Transfer credit grades will not be computed into the student's graduate grade point average for the new program.
To be considered for a "fresh start," the student must submit an application to the Dean of the Graduate School. Application forms are available in the Graduate School. The Dean can approve the application or defer action on it to the Student Affairs Committee of the Graduate Council, which is the final appellate body for such decisions. The student and the academic program are advised by letter of the Dean's or the Student Affairs Committee's decision. If a favorable decision is rendered, the Registrar is sent a copy of the approved application and advised to make the appropriate adjustments to the student's academic record.
The following conditions and restrictions apply to a "fresh start" graduate program:
A. A student granted a "fresh start" will be admitted into the new program as a conditional degree-seeking student.
B. Concentrations of graduate programs do not constitute a new program and, therefore, do not apply to the "fresh start" policy.
C. The new program must be completed with a minimum of 45 quarter hours or 30 semester hours of graduate credit.
D. The seven year rule for completing the program requirements starts with the semester that the student first registers for courses required by the new program.
E. Only one "fresh start" will be granted to a graduate student at Wright State University.
F. Petitions to waive any of the conditions of the "fresh start" policy will not be favorably considered by the Graduate School.
7.136 Fresh Start in a New Graduate Program
Graduate students may be granted a "fresh start" in a new graduate program if:
A. The students are currently in active status pursuing a graduate program or inactive status having withdrawn or having been dismissed from a graduate program.
B. The students have applied for admission and have been accepted by a graduate program different from the one that the students are currently pursuing or had pursued (an admissions petition may have to be submitted to permit acceptance into the new graduate program).
7.137 Fresh Start in the Same Graduate Program
A fresh start into the same program may be granted to students who have withdrawn or were dismissed from a graduate program at Wright State University if:
A. A period of time of no less than five years has lapsed since the student withdrew or was dismissed from a WSU graduate program AND
B. A student has applied and been accepted into the same graduate program (an admissions petition may have to be submitted to permit acceptance into the graduate program).

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College is one of the nation's best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review. The College is featured in the education services company's new 2014 edition of its annual college guide, "The Best 378 Colleges."
Only about 15% of America's 2,500 four-year colleges and only four colleges outside the United States are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review's flagship college guide. It includes detailed profiles of the colleges with rating scores for all schools in eight categories based on The Princeton Review's surveys of 126,000 students attending the colleges.
"Whittier College offers outstanding academics, which is the primary criteria for our choice of schools for the book," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP / Publisher and author of The Best 378 Colleges.
In its profile on Whittier College, The Princeton Review praises the school for its dedicated faculty, tight-knit community, and the "interconnectedness of all of the liberal arts disciplines." According to the guide, "faculty also help students to 'pursue larger goals in life,' and encourage students 'to take their own initiative in developing their goals and future.'"
Moreover, Whittier students surveyed for the book are quoted extensively for the review. Among their comments about their campus experiences there: "All of your professors will know you by name, and not by number, because you matter to them," and "Everyone respects, as well as embraces, each others' uniqueness."
In a "Survey Says " sidebar in the book's profile on Whittier College, The Princeton Review lists topics that Whittier students surveyed for the book were in most agreement about in their answers to survey questions. The list includes: "great library," "diverse student types on campus, and "popular student publications."

YALSA National Research Agenda
YALSA is in the process of updating its Research Agenda. View the latest draft (.pdf) and share your comments by 1/15/17 via this feedback form.
Download the print version of YALSA's National Research Agenda (PDF).
Priority Area 1: Impact of Libraries on Young Adults
Priority Area 2: Young Adult Reading and Resources
Priority Area 3: Information Seeking Behaviors and Needs of Young Adults
Priority Area 4: Informal and Formal Learning Environments and Young Adults
YALSA's Board of Directors would like to thank the 2010 – 2011 and 2011 – 2012 Research Committees for the hard work and dedication they put forth when developing this agenda.
The mission of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) is to expand and strengthen library services for teens and young adults. Through its member-driven advocacy, research, and professional development initiatives, YALSA builds the capacity of libraries and librarians to engage, serve, and empower teens and young adults. YALSA is a subspecialty of the American Library Association, the world's largest and oldest library organization, and a financial stable 501(c)3 not-for-profit. In order to achieve their mission the association:
- Advocates the young adult's right to free and equal access to materials and services, and assists librarians in handling problems of such access.
- Evaluates and promotes materials of interest to adolescents through special services, programs and publications, except for those materials designed specifically for curriculum use.
- Identifies research needs related to young adult service and communicates those needs to the library academic community in order to activate research projects.
- Stimulates and promotes the development of librarians and other staff working with young adults through formal and continuing education.
- Stimulates and promotes the expansion of young adult service among professional associations and agencies at all levels.
- Represents the interests of librarians and staff working with young adults to all relevant agencies, governmental or private, and industries that serve young adults as clients or consumers.
- Creates and maintains communication links with other units of ALA whose developments affect service to young adults.
In 2008 YALSA made a commitment to taking a leadership role in the area of young adult library services research with a strategic plan goal that reads, "YALSA is a recognized source for access to targeted research benefiting members and the library community." The association worked to meet the goal with the launch in 2010 of a new open source, peer-reviewed research journal, The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults. This research agenda is another step in fulfilling the goals in the association's strategic plan.
YALSA's last research agenda was published in 1994. Since that time the landscape of young adult services in libraries has changed quite dramatically. New technologies now make up a foundational piece of initiatives for teens in all areas of library service from programs to collections and from information literacy to outreach. As the technologies young adults use to access materials and library services change and expand, those serving teens need to acquire an understanding of what these technologies mean for adolescent development, success in school, and literacy acquisition. Research in areas of digital literacy, information-seeking behaviors, social media use and youth development, along with an understanding of how teens learn in both informal and formal learning environments, is required in order to guarantee that young adult librarians can effectively serve teens in the 21st century.
Not only are the tools teens use to access library materials and services expanding, so too are the number of materials published for the age group each year. Associated with this growth is an increase in the formats available. Graphic materials along with digital content are now a part of a teen's and a library's collection. With this rise in the number of materials and formats, librarians serving teens must continue to hone their skills in order to understand how to match the right item to the right teen. Understanding the ways in which teens relate to reading material and the formats in which that material are available, is required in order to serve the young adult population successfully.
A key component of successful young adult library services is the ability to advocate for a strong program. Strength in a young adult program requires adequate funding and staffing, along with up-to-date collections, and ongoing continuing education of staff. An important tool in one's ability to advocate for these is access to up-to-date data that demonstrates the value of a high-quality library program to young adults and describes how a commitment to such a program provides a high return on investment, demonstrated by literate and successful young adults.
Purpose of the YALSA Research Agenda
The YALSA Research Agenda was developed by members of the association's Research Committee. This group of library science educators, working in graduate schools of library science across the United States, surveyed the field to determine gaps in research and determine the questions that needed to be answered in order to fill those gaps. The research called for in this agenda will help guarantee that librarians serving young adults are able to provide the best service possible as well as advocate for funding and support in order to ensure that teens are served effectively by their libraries.
The authors of the agenda focused on four priority areas for research: impact of library services, reading and resources, information seeking behaviors and needs, and informal and formal learning environments and young adults. In addition, certain aspects of young adult services apply across all four priority areas: issues related to cognitive, emotional, and physical development; issues related to intellectual freedom; issues related to technology; and issues related to traditional and digital literacies, including information literacy.
Please note that the division within the American Library Association with the authority to develop national guidelines, standards, agendas, etc. for school libraries is the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). For information regarding AASL's priority areas for research, visit www.ala.org/aasl. From there you can also access AASL's research-focused journal, School Library Media Research.
Priority Area 1: Impact of Libraries on Young Adults
In order to advocate for and support high-quality young adult services in public libraries, librarians, administrators and policy makers need to have access to current data that speaks to the impact of the library program on adolescent development, literacy, college and work readiness, and so on. However, while there are many venues, from professional literature to social media, for those serving young adults to learn about best practices, there is very little data on the current status of young adult services, including staffing, budgets, collections, programs, and so on. Data is also lacking on the role of young adult library services within the overall library program or its impact on communities. It is this lack of data that priority 1 of the research agenda addresses.
In their 2007 study, the Public Library Association found that only 51 percent of public libraries have a full-time young adult services librarian. Sixty-two percent of these libraries have at least one staff person whose job it is specifically to serve teens. These numbers are important to know, but they do not supply important information on any correlation between a full-time young adult services librarian and adolescent development or literacy skills. Making the connection through up-to-date statistics is key to a librarian's ability to advocate for higher levels of staffing for teens in libraries.
Specific corollary data is also missing when it comes to library programs for young adults and the impact they have on literacy skills, asset development (such as those articulated by the Search Institute in the 40 Developmental Assets document), and post high-school readiness. Librarians who would like to expand their programs and/or gain support for a summer reading program, and extend technology-based programs need information on how programmatic library activities have a positive impact on young adults.
Data is also not available on how training for professional young adult services librarians helps to guarantee that the young adult library program is valuable and to meet the educational, informational, and recreational needs of young adults. Without statistics that demonstrate that a professionally trained young adult services librarian adds value to a community, it is difficult to advocate for inclusion of that type of position in a library's budget.
As there is currently not a high level of statistical data related to young adult services and their impact on teens educationally and developmentally, this area of the YALSA Research Agenda seeks to expand librarian's and community member's abilities to advocate for well-rounded and well-staffed young adult services.
Research Questions
- In difficult economic times anecdotal evidence suggests that one of the first areas of library service that is cut is service to young adults. This has an impact on the ability of a library to provide staffing, space, collections, and services to the age group, which can then have an impact on the development and literacy skills of the age group and have unintended effects that reach into the community.
- What are the prevalent staffing models for public library service to young adults and how do these current models demonstrate successful support of teens within a community?
- How are young adult services in public libraries supported fiscally?
- Are budgets for young adult library services positively comparable with budgets for other departments within the library?
- What is the correlation between a professionally staffed young adult library department with a fiscally strong young adult budget for programs, services, and collections and acquisition of 21st century literacy skills and adolescent development?
- When a library has a young adult program in place, benefits to the teen population, and ultimately the community, are demonstrated in a variety of ways. An understanding of these benefits can help librarians to advocate for an increase in funding and support for services.
- In what ways do libraries have a positive impact on adolescent development?
- Does library card ownership have an impact on literacies, work readiness, and college readiness?
- Is there a measurable difference in college readiness between young adults who are library users and those that are non-library users?
- How are young adult literacy skills supported and enhanced through the use of libraries?
- What impact does a full-time dedicated young adult services librarian have on teen literacy and college and work readiness?
- Do communities with libraries that have a strong young adult services program also see a reduced rate in negative community indicators such as school truancy, juvenile crime and drop-out rates?
- The skills and knowledge of young adult staff varies greatly from library to library, as does the ability of librarians to keep their skills current as they continue to work in the field.
- How do the skills and knowledge that a professionally trained young adult librarian brings to a library have an impact on adolescent development and literacy acquisition?
- Taking into consideration such factors as the increasing diversity of the teen population as well as rapid changes in information technologies, what are the most important skills and knowledge young adult services librarians need to have when entering the field?
- What are the challenges young adult services librarians face in skill development while working as a practicing librarian?
- How do those serving young adults in libraries keep up in order to better serve teens in their communities?
- National organizations such as YALSA sponsor a variety of initiatives that are geared to improving young adult literacies, college and work preparedness, and the safe and smart use of current technologies. Data on the ways these initiatives support young adult development can be useful in librarian's ability to market the programs within a community.
- What impact do programs such as YALSA's Teen Read Week™ have on young adult text-based literacy skills?
- What impact do programs such as YALSA's Teen Tech Week™ have on the acquisition of 21st century learning skills by young adults?
- What value do young adult focused national initiatives have on the ability of librarians serving young adults to provide high-quality services to the age group?

Priority Area 2: Young Adult Reading and Resources
The research on resources for young adults and young adult reading practices falls into three broad areas: resources, reading, and library services. In the area of resources, both fiction and nonfiction continue to be popular among young adult readers. Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of formats, including print books, graphic novels, e-books, audio books, magazines, and websites. In addition, a number of themes have emerged, in both fiction and nonfiction, related to our increasingly multicultural society—for example, gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, class, and differing abilities. Eliza Dresang's Radical Change Theory (Dresang, 1999) provides a useful framework for considering developing trends in formats and themes. Radical Change Theory posits three types of changes: Type I is changing forms and formats, Type II is changing perspectives, and Type III is changing boundaries (i.e., what is considered "appropriate" for young adult readers).
The second major area of research, young adult reading practices, involves a number of key issues related to both reading ability and reading behaviors. Educators and researchers are rightly concerned about low literacy levels, reluctant readers, and the differences in literacy skills between ethnic, racial, and socio-economic populations as seen in testing scores and college-readiness. There is interest in improving literacy learning and in using the tenets of New Literacy Studies to go beyond the skill levels and practices of the individual reader and focus on the social and cultural context(s) for reading and writing. There is also great interest in what young adults are reading (and are not reading), and how changes in forms and formats may be affecting what and how they read. New advances in brain science research offer promising insights into the connections between brain development and reading behaviors.
The third area of research is related to how libraries can develop collections and services that will foster reading among young adults. Various approaches can be used to promote interest in and facility with reading, including the use of literary theory as a tool for analyzing texts and the promotion of critical literacy as a way of focusing on the social forces that influence the creation and interpretation of texts. Programs that can address young adults' developmental and information needs are of particular interest, and range from readers' advisory and summer reading programs to Free Voluntary Reading and bibliotherapy.
Questions for Research
- How are resources for young adults changing to address the informational, recreational, and developmental needs of 21st-century young adults?
- How are forms and formats changing and what is the impact of these changes on literacies of young adults?
- To what extent are new and multiple perspectives being represented?
- What themes and topics are emerging?
- To what extent does the current body of young adult literature adequately meet the needs of today's diverse teens?
- How are young adults' reading skills and behaviors changing?
- To what extent are reading behaviors changing in response to the proliferation of formats (especially digital formats)?
- How can the reading skills of low literacy young adults, English language learners, and reluctant readers be enhanced?
- How can new advances in brain science research be applied to promoting reading skills and enhancing reading pleasure among young adults?
- How can librarians best promote reading to address the informational, recreational, and developmental needs of young adults?
- How can librarians develop collections that will best address the informational, recreational, and developmental needs of young adults?
- What programs represent best practices in promoting reading among young adults?
- How can librarians best insure access to a variety of materials for young adults in the face of challenges to intellectual freedom?

Priority Area 3: Information Seeking Behaviors and Needs of Young Adults
In the introduction to Youth Information-Seeking Behavior II: Contexts, Theories, Models, and Issues (Chelton & Cool, 2007), Anthony Bernier challenges the LIS research community to expand the current research on information seeking to include more research specifically focused on the needs and behaviors of young adults. As he correctly states, the vast majority of information seeking research continues to focus on the needs and behaviors of children. He notes that while many researchers have attempted to "stretch their theoretical formulations across wide boundaries, the results frequently stretch beyond where we know it should go, beyond developmentally significant frontiers" (p. xviii).
Bernier (2007) outlines a number of areas needing increased attention by the scholarly community, including:
- The everyday life information wants, concerns and needs of young adults. Much of the information seeking that teens engage in is not related to school work, but instead focuses on "real life" or "daily life" issues (p. xvii), yet much of the research continues to focus on young adults as students.
- The impact of social contexts on the information seeking needs and behaviors of adolescents. Information seeking needs and behaviors are embedded in social contexts and factors such as race, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, and home language impact the information seeking behaviors of teens. The social nature of teens themselves also affects their information needs, wants, and concerns, as well as how they seek information. To best meet the needs of young adults, librarians must have an understanding of how social contexts shape and affect information seeking.
- The barriers which exist that prevent or limit the information seeking behavior of today's teens. In researching barriers, The library community needs to not just examine traditional barriers such as access to technology, but to also look at itself and how library policies, librarians' perceptions of teens, pedagogical approaches, and so forth impact the information seeking behavior of young adults.
- The many forms of young adult literacy and how they are informed, shaped, and impacted by technology, especially social networking tools. "The current research agenda would be well served by dramatically expanding the scope of what it counts as information gathering, of literacy tasks, and what mental labor qualifies as 'information behavior'" (p. xiv).
- The role of young adults as creators and producers of information. "The nation is at the beginning of a revolution in youth-produced media, yet current scholarship eclipses any view that young people are increasingly producers of information" (p. xvii).
The research questions proposed below have the goal of enabling the library community to remain responsive to the needs of teens, to enjoy "better and richer relationships with young people than we ever have before" (p. xxvi).
Questions for Research
- Beyond the education community's agenda to advance curricular goals and beyond the library community's goals connected to "information literacy skills," how do young adults themselves enact, create, and produce literacies?
- What "literacy assets" (not simply deficits) do they develop on their own—individually and collectively?
- How do young adults create community with these "literacy assets?"
- How have these new literacy assets and skills changed the way librarians and library workers imagine/consider young adults?
- What methodological skills, specific to young adults do LIS researchers need to gather, evaluate, and analyze young adult literacy practices?
- What are the information needs and behaviors of 21st century young adults and how might these impact or inform the work of libraries?
- How have the needs and behaviors of young adults evolved throughout the 20th and 21st centuries?
- How do social contexts influence adolescent behavior?
- How do factors such as race, ethnicity, culture, gender, socio-economic status, educational level, geographic location (i.e. rural vs. suburban vs. urban), and home language shape information needs and behaviors?
- How has the increased use of emerging technologies, such as mobile communication devices, social networking tools, and digital resources impacted the information seeking needs and behaviors of the 21st century teen and how might that impact or inform the work of libraries?
- To what degree has the use of these new social and digital tools/mediums transformed information seeking from an individual to a collaborative activity?
- To what extent do 21st century young adults participate in the creation of the information they need and want?
- How does a lack of access to certain technologies in schools and libraries help perpetuate the digital divide for young adults?
- How have libraries and library capacities responded to these new circumstances?
- What is the potential for emerging technologies in regards to scaling out library resources, instruction and service?
- What barriers exist to the information seeking behaviors of today's young adults and how might libraries address them?
- Which of these barriers are internal to the teens themselves (i.e. developmental for example) and which are external?
- How have libraries responded to these barriers?
- What role have they played in reinforcing these barriers and preventing or limiting the information seeking behavior of teens?
- What role have they played in reducing or eliminating barriers?

Priority Area 4: Informal and Formal Learning Environments and Young Adults
Understanding how informal and formal learning environments have an impact on adolescent development and literacy acquisition is of key importance in determining how librarians must serve teens in the 21st century. Informal environments include physical and virtual spaces, such as public libraries and social media, in which young adults take part in activities that inherently lead to learning, but do not have a strictly educational focus. Formal learning environments include physical and virtual spaces, such as school classrooms and online courses, where young adults spend time specifically to learn content.
The MacArthur Foundation's 10-year Digital Media and Learning project, founded in 2006, is funding and guiding explorations of formal and informal learning environments and "how digital media are changing the way young people learn, socialize, communicate, and play" (Exploring Digital Media & Learning). The YOUmedia project at the Chicago Public Library is a primary example of this research and work being done leading to an understanding of the place that media, technology, and learning environments play in young adult acquisition of knowledge and 21st century skills.
The importance of 21st century skills is also highlighted in the 2009 report from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) titled, Museums, Libraries, and 21st Century Skills. This report provides an overview of what 21st century skills are within a museum and library context and through real-life examples demonstrates how institutions serving youth are moving forward with aiding young people in acquiring the necessary skills. The report states, "While it is true that libraries and museums are—and always have been—well-equipped to provide critical learning experiences to their audiences, this potential must be further developed, defined, and made more accessible. All libraries and museums—and the people they serve—stand to benefit from becoming more intentional and purposeful about accommodating the lifelong learning needs of people in the 21st century, and doing this work collaboratively in alignment with community needs."
Intense controversy has arisen over whether or not digital technology use, particularly in gaming, is enhancing or detracting from higher level and critical thinking skills. Some researchers believe that the changes documented by MRIs of those who engage in concentrated use of technology are detracting from areas of the brain that facilitate deep thinking and concentrated reading while others vociferously disagree. Furthermore, the dangers of technology and how to mitigate them, e.g., bullying and improper use of personal information, are hard to assess in order to understand benefits vs. detriments.
Research related to young adults , media, technology, and learning environments includes a fundamental ongoing inventory of the technologies with which youth are engaged and to what extent and whether/how this differs with income, gender, and ethnicity. Technologies are in and out of favor quickly. Both young adults and adults make assumptions about young adult technology use that are sometimes inaccurate; it is important to separate myth from reality with accurate data. Fortunately the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project frequently makes available up-to-date data collected with meticulous research methods regarding online technologies and young adults. Less often, but with equally valid research methods, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) looks at media, including both digital and print, in the lives of tweens and young adults. Their studies also document the time spent with various media both discretely and in multitasking mode. The KFF's relatively comprehensive studies provide important longitudinal comparisons regarding media use, providing insight into trends. Neither of these foundations attempts in-depth analysis of their research or how it might be used, leaving that task to others who access their data.
How young adults gain access to and use technologies is another crucial research topic. The digital divide used to mean the gulf between those who had ready access to technology and those who did not. Mobile devices (such as smart phones and tablets) may have narrowed that gap to some extent, perhaps only for the more repetitive communication tasks. Nonetheless, in 2011 the digital divide is a divide not of access to technology but a divide in access to specific resources (such as databases) as well as an understanding of how to use those resources successfully.
Even if the device is available, we do not know to what extent government-required or parental imposed filters limit young adults' access to the information they want or need. Questions still linger about how skilled young adults are at using technologies to access accurate information and even more important how adept they are at assessing accuracy or creating information. Some sources such as the programming language developed at the MIT Media Lab for tweens and young adults, Scratch, might lead us to believe that young adults are immensely creative, but little research exists to document how that creativity is enhanced or curtailed by technology. Finally, research based on needs has produced technologies that provide immensely enhanced access to differently-abled users, including young adults, and that could be productively incorporated into contemporary library practice.
Questions for Research
- A variety of formal and informal learning opportunities are available to teens in order to gain skills, knowledge, and understanding of topics of value within both an educational and recreational context. How do libraries leverage technology and media tools to support teen learning within these varied learning settings?
- What is required for libraries to support informal learning through the use of a variety of media tools?
- How can libraries support young adult acquisition of 21st century learning skills?
- What is the impact of lack of access to new and emerging technologies in schools and libraries on teen successful and safe use of technology for informational and recreational purposes?
- How can public libraries work with schools in order to develop connected informal and formal learning opportunities for young adults?
- What special skills and/or knowledge are required of librarians serving young adults in order to successfully support informal and formal learning opportunities for teens?
- By keeping abreast of the most recent relevant data collections by the Pew Research and the Kaiser Family Foundations, anyone interested can separate myth from reality regarding young adults and technology. But armed with this knowledge, how can this data be productively used in research or practice in a library setting?
- How can libraries and librarians make best use of young adults' pervasive presence on the Internet to learn and to provide the information they want and need?
- What can be learned about information needs and preferences from documented trends regarding young adults and technology e.g., mobile devices, that would be of use to information professionals, including librarians?
- How can libraries respond best to socio-economic, ethnicity, gender and ability differences in supporting access to technology?
- Numerous types of questions arise from considering how young adults gain access to and use technologies, some having to do with availability, some with physical or cognitive capabilities, and some with the extent to which creative uses are made of technology.
- What constitutes a digital divide in the 21st century, how can it be obliterated and what role might libraries play in eliminating it?
- What impact does Internet filtering in libraries or at home have on young adult access to information?
- How does the Internet foster creative thinking and problem solving?
- How can technology improve access to library services for differently-abled young adult
- Knowledge about the impact of technology use for young adults is largely speculative territory. But it is one in which many opinions, some unsubstantiated, exist.
- How is digital media changing how young adults learn, socialize, communicate, and play?
- How does extensive gaming or online searching affect reflective thinking or reading?
- What role can libraries play in mitigating the documented dangers of social media?

Answers to the questions posed in the four priority areas above will aid librarians as they move further into the 21st century. The agenda is forward-thinking in its framework with a strong focus on the areas librarians need to be well-versed in in order to support the informational and recreational needs of young adults who are born into a world of e-content, technology, mobile devices, and social media.
The research that is an outcome of this agenda will provide information librarians, administrators, policy makers and community members need in order to advocate for high-quality library services for young adults. Teens will therefore have access to library staff, programs, services, and collections that will help them to develop successfully and succeed well after their adolescent years.

Mother of escapee arrested
August 28, 2008
On Wednesday, the mother of a jail escapee made a public plea for her son to turn himself in to authorities. On Thursday, she was arrested on charges of harboring or aiding a felon.
Officials said Hester England has seen and talked with her son and a second escapee since they broke out of the Curry County jail on Sunday.
England's son is Michael England. She said she's also seen and talked with Larry McClendon Jr. Court records allege both men stopped by Hester England's Clovis home, where McClendon's girlfriend also resides, for clothes after their escape.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said late Thursday evening that Victor Sotelo, 26, was arrested without incident in Albuquerque. He added it is possible McClendon and England are still in Clovis.
Four escapees remain from a group of eight inmates who escaped from the Curry County Adult Detention Center Sunday night, Chandler said.
"The citizen tips have continued to come in throughout the last 24-hours and law enforcement are taking those tips very seriously and continue to follow up on them," he said.
"There is a percentage of those tips that indicate that the two subjects (McClendon and England) are in the area but we're not narrowing our search to this area."
Law enforcement is searching throughout Clovis and Curry County, Albuquerque and west Texas for the remaining four.
Officials said the inmates shimmied up plumbing pipes in the wall between two pods, cut a hole in the roof and jumped into a tree to the ground.
Convicted killer Edward Salas, 21, is among the inmates at large. Louis Chavez, 19, also remains missing.
Hester England, 55, was arrested Thursday after her 8-year-old grandson told a school counselor he saw his daddy while he was at his grandmother's house watching TV, court records show.
McClendon is charged in the 2007 shooting death of Clovis second-hand store owner Emmett Salisbury.
Michael England is charged with tampering with evidence and felon in possession of a firearm related to the same shooting.
Hester England was released on a $6,000 bond Thursday, jail officials said.
Court documents show Hester England was interviewed by law enforcement Monday regarding her son and she denied knowing anything about the escape.
She made a tearful plea to media Wednesday at the jail for her son to turn himself in. Following her televised plea, she was taken to the Curry County Sheriff's office and re-interviewed, court records show.
She maintained her earlier position that she knew nothing, until she was confronted with her grandson's statements. Then, police say, she recanted and said she saw and talked to her son and McClendon at her home in the 900 block of Manana Boulevard after their escape.
She said she told her son to return to the jail, but he said he was not going back.
She said she did not reveal the information to police because she loves her son, according to court records.
The child, who was interviewed by child forensic interviewers, said he saw his "Daddy and Bubba (McClendon)" walk by his grandmother's bedroom where he was watching TV, court records show.
The boy said his grandmother told him he could not come out of the room and not to tell anybody he saw his father, records show.
He said his father asked him for a grocery bag to put some clothes in.
The boy's mother, Asha Currie, has also been arrested for obstructing justice. She is being held without bond on a probation violation, jail officials said.

Art is anything you can put love and/or care into making.
The notion that art is only true art if it's completely original is moot, because we're so influenced by different concepts and sensations throughout our lives, everything gets filtered through you, and influences your art in some way.
So really, nothing is original. But anything can be artistic. If you don't want to consider something art because it doesn't live up to your ideals, fine. But you don't get to dictate what is and isn't art.
i totally understand what are you saying Luv 2 , and i agree is great to be happy and inspired by what you like , what you love is what you love..there is no argue about that.
But a featured artist should not only copy , should not have a gallery made by copied pictures , and why ?
I keep seeing this excuse..internet is a free place , but it is ? if you post your pic maybe someone will make a portrait with it , maybe someone will save it , but if someone will say she is the one from the pic? sounds ok? music is free too , you can play after a song , you can use to learn how to make music , but can you repost it and say that is yours? that you made the effort to imagine it , compose it , made it from 0 and all? you can make a parody after a movie , you can learn how to make special effects or maybe acting but if you totally copy it and even if you give credits about the original..you may end up in jail )) and if anyone looks at more serious drawing sites , i don t know many examples..only deviantart , you can post fan fic where you give credits , fan art , with credits..anything works but no way to redraw someone else's image , you don t have the owner approval , either is about a drawing , photo , etc , and if you all check out you ll see here on rmd cases where real owner of pictures , or people that were simply checking the site kind of shamed the people that did this .
Someone who use different refs for a drawing at least make a composition too not only using the % effort and % skills in the result , someone who do not use refs , even more..imagination , but someone who just take something that is not even hers/his and do it ..i will keep my opinion that should not be featured cause it is simply wrong to just take from others and not make your own art .
have a perfect day all..
Vis_in_vis I'm not trying to get the last word and perhaps I didn't fully explain my post.
Topic at hand, featured artist. A featured artist should be able to display that SPECIAL something whether it be mastery of the tools, or creativity that encourages and inspires the rest of us. My personal thought was an artist such as Andriani and others who have mastered using the tools have inspired me. Whether the board feels they are deserving to be a featured artist is another matter.
Art in my opinion is something you love, like or dismiss. If you love it, you know immediately, it inspires, makes you feel something. When I referred to judging I was referring to artist who submit their art to juried shows which then it is indeed judged by execution, skill, technique, quality, creativity and or set guidelines by scoring rubric. I also have artist friends and they do enjoy submitting their art in these type of shows.
I'm an no digital artist, I decided to join this site to explore learning something new with a different type of medium and have some fun too. I do paint on canvas, and digital for me is a quicker way to work on areas that I'm weak in.
I agree creativity and originality can be in all types of art and is not limited to any genre.
Since this is the holiday season for many of us, times where we want to be amused and filled with joy, happiness, love, inspiration, and fun draws in a supporting community, I'm extending the olive branch to any who have been offended. Peace out. ツ
Yeah of course everything can be done with imagination and originality I don't know who says the opposite but they are totally wrong and of course there aren't any limits in art and originality and imagination.
Through this conversation I saw your point vis and u are right we (that use ref) don't have any originality and as by featured we mean artists that are here to inspire others then we indeed shouldn't be featured . I personally wouldn't want the featured and top artists categories to be deleted as they have a purpose in this community and this is what u said yourself , to inspire other artists and I have been very inspired by them but if this creates a worst effect and such conflict then they indeed dont need to exist
So I think this conflict should end here, I don't think there's anything else to be said and obviously there's a contradiction that will continue if we don't stop and this will soon have a negative effect to our relationships as a friendly community I take a step back and respect all your opinions guys.

Most art is judged professionally by execution, skill, technique, quality, and of course originality plays into it sometimes as well. Portrait artist aren't going to be based so much on originality but more so on skill, quality and execution. The same can be said for many famous landmarks, scenery, still life, and of course animals,birds, and etc.
In my opinion fantasy art has the biggest room for originality.
Luckily we are all free to form our own opinions.
luv 2 what are you talking about here and why ? i am talking about the artist that should be featured next .
if you answer simply cause you need to have the last word i ll simply stop cause this is useless.
my personal opinion is that art should not be judged cause it is impossible.
But let s talk about real world ..who are those professionals that you are talking about?
i know real painters and artist that will never copy , in this world when you see a reproduction you kind of laugh and don t take that person seriously cause the one who did it could be anyone , the most important thing you want to have is originality , you want that people to see your painting and knew that is yours .
If it s about being a real digital artist..like paid ones you probably need great skills and speed , you should be capable to make reproduction but the reason for why you are hired is cause you have to be able to deliver very fast new original stuff ..
I will never understand why someone says portraits can t be done with imagination (and originality) , everything can , fantasy , realism , they are simply categories . Imagination has no limits , only skills , ink , trust in your self , those are limited .
Anyway . like the top and all this featured could be simply deleted , cause i see they create this stupid argue instead of being a place where to be inspired ( by original art of course )))

I'm sure everybody here is really good at drawing realism. Instead of arguing about it, why don't we all draw something realistic and prove how easy it is to draw it. Here is my best piece http://www.ratemydrawings.com/drawings/ … 3454.html. I would like to see everyone's best realistic work in rmd.
Here was not about what people should do ..cause if we talk about that
people that are creating with any level of skills should be not disqualified either
and if you look around you ll see they are , cause 99% of people will call "art" things that they easily recognize . A perfect copy will always attract more attention , and i have nothing against being recognized and is probably obvious that the author is skilled and probably some effort was put into that drawing .
But art has nothing to do with skills and effort , is about being capable to explore more than what you see .( of course that if the person has the skills too and put effort that s even better)
i keep loosing my drawings so i got time to actually explain for the last time very clear
people that use refs and mostly copy will have enough exposure in top , etc
people that are not doing this will be mostly ignored so being featured is a really good way for them to be discovered and in the same time they will not have the pressure to need to copy just to be seen .. which will keep them real artists )) ( my personal opinion yes )
and lastly those who have a gallery of only copies..is no reason for them to be featured if they don t have anything to tell more than what great copy machines they are..
Well this is your opinion and I respect that
I agree with u that we shouldn't lose ur style and artists creating their own artwork should have a priority to be feature but I think we shouldn't disqualify artists that copy for example photos but have mastered this skill and put a lot of effort into their drawings
i tried realism it and is easy for me , so i can say it s easy if i want
And the idea is to master anything but still be yourself , this thread is about who should be featured so i said that people that can do something else beside copying should be the ones that are featured . And i don t really care if anyone disagree

but the part in the brain that is used to copy something is other that the one used for creation , so yeah.. someone who cares to improve should learn and master realism
Yeah but this doesnt mean that u cant improve a lot ur drawing by realism (i refer to using references here).
When drawing realistic (with ref) u learn a lot that u can then use in ur own drawings if u wish to.
And of course in order to make ur own drawings u have to use ref first u have to have some basic skills and know how to use proportions and how to apply shadows or else ur drawing will just be out of place and will not be convincing (especially when u do ur own realistic drawings), even for abstract art u need to have some basic skills.
Also mastering realism doesnt mean u lack creativity(I believe everything has it own creativity, realism too).
And just because we refer to the term "realism" it doesnt mean its always copying and defenitely not always reference.
And here u will say that most times we need ref to make the drawing look more convincing , yes i agree but if u have mastered realism then u will be able to draw realistic without a ref or u just may use for example a photo just to get the shape of a specific object in your art piece
vis_in_vis wrote:
but if that person can t get over it , then should not be featured here..cause that was all about , about being capable to bring something new , and show yourself , not show what some other artist did ..cause we all know what they did ..
I will have to disagree here, as relicxth, alythefab and luv2 said realism isnt easy and i wouldnt say many people have mastered it, it takes great efford and practice to make a good realistic piece and this work should be rewarded fairly.
Furthermore, realism doesnt mean u copy some other artists work ,usually u copy a picture and its not common to use a drawing to make another drawing so u dont copy anyone.
Though if ur talking about artists that try to copy another artist's style .. well thats a completely other story that doesnt apply only to realism.

and i do believe that age has absolutely no importance , you can be 2 years old and a great artist and being a kid and having a kid imagination is great
but not a disney brainwashed kid )))
I didnt understand that last part , u mean that if u like (or be a little too hooked on) Disney u cant be a great artist ?
That drawing characters from Disney isnt considered art?
just because your picture looks realistic doesn't mean it's easy. Realism is one of the hardest forms to master. Yeah your picture looks realistic in the sense that it is more rendered. Is it right? no. Most people are missing all the fundamentals and someone who understands more will notice more and more mistakes. If you have no grasp of the fundamentals, make elementary mistakes, how can people say it's easy? No offence to anyone.
I just noticed this post last night, and thank you Andriani. I aspire to draw as well as you do one day. Trying to draw a realistic picture is indeed very hard especially in canvas draw with the temperamental tools. I also use a ref or personal photo in my drawings and try to make it my own in some fashion with cropping and colors.
Drawing a very realistic portrait well, is a gift in my opinion. I think very few have mastered that kind of drawing here. It takes a good deal of time and effort. Most of my drawings are in the 3-5 hour time frame, some less some more.
I would definitely nominate you Andriani, I think effort, and your realistic fabulous drawings would definitely beat any artists original grade school look.
I've been on this site for a few years and I'm still learning. The point is to enjoy what you're doing and to appreciate other artists style who you admire.
Originality is great and kudos to those who do it well, but mastering a reproduction is also a definite talent!
That said, happy drawing everyone. ツ
ok i won t quote anything cause is too much to read )) i used to hate realism until the moment i finally found a reason to like it and then i ve learned how to draw and i can say it is really easy , but the part in the brain that is used to copy something is other that the one used for creation , so yeah.. someone who cares to improve should learn and master realism , but if that person can t get over it , then should not be featured here..cause that was all about , about being capable to bring something new , and show yourself , not show what some other artist did ..cause we all know what they did ..
and i do believe that age has absolutely no importance , you can be 2 years old and a great artist and being a kid and having a kid imagination is great
but not a disney brainwashed kid )))
I was about to reply to peecasso's comment on art as well but u totally covered everything I had in my mind alythefab
As a matter of fact I believe realism may be the most difficult art of all because as u said need a lot of skill and very good observation of details . I am personally fascinated by realism and I'm trying very hard to improve myself and become great at capturing details and I may spend months on a drawing (like what I'm curently doing now) and anyone who says that realism is very easy is simply inexperienced in the matter . Although if we talk about creativity well yeah producing ur own art is obviously more creative than copying but up to a certain extend I'd say .. It depends on how much work and effort u put into it in my opinion so if u just doodle without any plan of what ur doing isn't as creative as trying to redraw a picture but giving it ur own taste playing a little with the colors and generally using ur style .
And about Disney and fantasy and cartoon/anime i don't see peecasso's point.. It doesn't even make sense that these styles are for 8 year olds.. I think we should respect every type of art because each has a great value and we can't underestimate it .. And just because usually kids like fantasy art and cartoons and anime (although anime is widely liked but many people including adults especially cuz there are MANY anime that are not for kids and cartoons of course ..) doesn't mean they only appeal to kids and peecasso I think u should do ur research first so that u have formed an opinion that is not prejudiced .
