This classic book is brought fully up to date as Peter Hernon and Ellen Altman integrate the use of technology into the customer experience. They offer solid, practical ideas for developing a customer service plan that meets the library's customer-focused mission, vision, and goals, and challenge librarians to think about customer service in new ways. --from publisher descriptionhttp://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503148http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=508908Description: "Libraries have existed for millennia, but today the library field is searching for solid footing in an increasingly fragmented (and increasingly digital) information environment. What is librarianship when it is unmoored from cataloging, books, buildings, and committees? In The Atlas of New Librarianship, R. David Lankes offers a guide to this new landscape for practitioners. He describes a new librarianship based not on books and artifacts but on knowledge and learning; and he suggests a new mission for librarians: to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities. The vision for a new librarianship must go beyond finding library-related uses for information technology and the Internet; it must provide a durable foundation for the field. Lankes recasts librarianship and library practice using the fundamental concept that knowledge is created though conversation. New librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversation; they seek to enrich, capture, store, and disseminate the conversations of their communities. To help librarians navigate this new terrain, Lankes offers a map, a visual representation of the field that can guide explorations of it; more than 140 Agreements, statements about librarianship that range from relevant theories to examples of practice; and Threads, arrangements of Agreements to explain key ideas, covering such topics as conceptual foundations and skills and values. Agreement Supplements at the end of the book offer expanded discussions. Although it touches on theory as well as practice, the Atlas is meant to be a tool: textbook, conversation guide, platform for social networking, and call to action."--M.I.T.

It brings together more than 140 contemporary letters, diary entries, speeches, articles, messages, and poems by more than eighty participants and observers, among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Mary Chesnut, Clement Vallandigham, Henry Adams, Charlotte Forten, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and George Templeton Strong, as well as Union officers Robert Gould Shaw, Charles B. Haydon, and Henry Livermore Abbott; Confederate diarists Catherine Edmondston, Kate Stone, and Judith McGuire; and Alabama soldier Samuel Pickens, Iowa housewife Catharine Peirce, Kentucky preacher George Richard Browder, and Kansas clergyman Richard Cordley. The selections include vivid and haunting eyewitness narratives of some of the war's most famous battles-Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Fort Wagner, Chickamauga, Chattanooga-as well as firsthand accounts of the merciless guerrilla war in Missouri and Kansas; the Richmond bread riot and the New York draft riots; the controversies surrounding the use of black soldiers and the Lincoln administration's curtailment of civil liberties; and the struggles of civilians both black and white to survive increasingly harsh wartime conditions.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=509473http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=507947Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=507947http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504574Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504574http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503124Description: "Although access to higher education is virtually universally available, about 50% of students who start in a higher education program drop out before completion of the degree. As enrollment and retention remain top priorities for universities, colleges, governments, parents, and students themselves, this book offers a formula for student success to retain and graduate students.

This landmark edition brings together for the first time all Kerouac's major poetic works--Mexico City Blues, The Scripture of the Golden Eternity, Book of Blues, Pomes All Sizes, Old Angel Midnight, Book of Haikus--along with a rich assortment of his uncollected poems, six published here for the first time. He wrote poetry in every period of his life, in forms as diverse as the classical Japanese haiku, the Buddhist sutra, the spontaneous prose poetry of Old Angel Midnight, and the poetic "blues" he developed in Mexico City Blues and other serial works, seeing himself as "a jazz poet blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam session on Sunday." Many poets found Kerouac a liberating influence on their work: Robert Creeley called him "a genius at the register of the speaking voice"; for Allen Ginsberg he was "a poetic influence over the entire planet"; and Bob Dylan said that Mexico City Blues was crucial to his own artistic development.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=502496http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503916Description: "A man drives his truck up to a cliff's edge. Unable to go any further, he opens the back door of his truck and a flock of birds flies out, but, as the man soon discovers, a small timid bird remains. Surprised and delighted, the man acts kindly towards the bird and an intimacy develops. After lunch, the man tries to show the bird that he should fly off and join his friends. The man's comic attempt at flight deepens the encounter between these two very different creatures. Soon the bird flies off and the man drives away, but in a surprise twist the bird and his friends return, and in a starkly lyrical moment we see them all experience something entirely new"--http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503916http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503485Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503485http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503073Description: Thirteen-year-old Conor awakens one night to find a monster outside his bedroom window, but not the one from the recurring nightmare that began when his mother became ill--an ancient, wild creature that wants him to face truth and loss.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503073http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=499894Description: A comprehensive stock database that includes financial data on companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQª, and the American Stock Exchange; in-depth research reports on companies; data on mutual, closed-end, and exchange-traded funds; analysts' reports on funds; exclusive investment tools and engaging educational features, including interactive training on basic and advanced stock, fund, and portfolio techniques.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=499894http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=506845Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=506845http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504517Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504517http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503152Description: E-book content, devices, and services have created challenges for libraries-- as well as opportunities.
