...Introduction In the 2000s, more and more electronic resources have become part of the stock of most libraries. The complex issues surrounding the selection and management of electronic information resources may arise many problems. Written collection development policies are suggested to solve these problems. Thus the library should update its collection management policy document, which was several years old, to adapt the changes in this 21st century. The purposes of this essay are to discuss the importance of written collection management policy and the methods of revising the document relevant to a library at the beginning of the 2000s. Collection Development Policy According to Evans (1995), “Collection development” and “Collection management” are often used with much the same meaning – the process of meeting the information needs of a service population in a timely and economic manner using information resources locally held as well as from other organizations. Jenkins and Morley (1999) explain that “Collection development” implies building and growing, dealing with the selection and acquisition of library materials, while “Collection management” emphasizes the systematic management of a library’s existing collection, rather than selection and acquisition. However, American Library Association (1996) states that collection development includes selection, acquisition, user assessment, collection evaluation, collection maintenance and weeding. It is usually...

...Annotated Bibliography Tabatha L. Clow University of Phoenix Taylor, M.M. (2004). Leadership in Literacy Education Reform: A Constructivist Learning and Culturally Responsive Perspective (Doctoral Dissertation). Retrieved December 10, 2009, from Dissertations & Theses @ University of Phoenix. (UMI No.:3136143) This dissertation study is a comparison between constructivist learn and culturally responsive teaching (CLCRT) and traditional instructive approaches and how they comply with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The CLCRT is a model on how to improve reading literacy for the disadvantaged and minority students while initiating school reform required by the NCLB. The CLCRT model examines pedagogy very carefully and informs school leadership about the effects of the pedagogy theory on students’. A PDS model (Professional Development School) was developed to help school leadership with the education reform strategies. We look at the PDS model and see that when teachers, school leadership and parents work together students’ grades improve. This study shows the importance of school leadership and teachers working together to implement new programs like the CLCRT education reform model. Horwitz, F.M., Bravington, D., & Silvis, U.

... open Media Web." Songbird utilizes the cross-platform frameworks, Mozilla's XULRunner and GStreamer media framework, and is largely capable of running on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux. The user interface of Songbird is similar to that of Apple iTunes. It also supports syncing its music library to iPods. Hence, many people have started using Songbird as an alternative to the closed source and bloated iTunes. Songbird can be downloaded from http://getsongbird.com/ User Stories: While Songbird has robust music library management, and can import the files on your hard disk to this library, it lacks the feature of importing songs from the iTunes library. This deters many new users from switching over to Songbird, because they fear losing their play count, “starred” songs, and stored metadata like lyrics and album information. Essentially all this information should be stored with the audio file itself, by making use of ID3 tags. iTunes, however, chooses to maintain this information both in its proprietary “itl” format, and as an XML file. To ease the transition for new users, Songbird should support importing from the user’s iTunes library. The other limitation of Songbird is that it can’t connect to, or use, songs from the Apple iTunes store. Many iTunes users have already purchased a lot of songs from the iTunes online store, and not being able to add or play this music in Songbird is a major drawback. In addition to the iTunes store,...

...paperback and hardcover books is also a major setback. The distribution of this paperback/hardcover books although decrease the profit of the author as these paperback are cheaper and as a result can discourage a writer. The promotional strategies also matter a lot while keeping distribution of books in mind. Distribution studies suggest that there are conflicting visions into the development of the book selling. If an increase in shown in the number of books purchased and read then a decrease in simultaneously shown in the number of youthful and old people which may risk the long term strategies of the business. Other problems faced are that many libraries have been shut down to make new buildings and some libraries that need to be renewed and updates are in poor conditions. The people prefer not to go these libraries and as the books there are also in poor conditions; torn and old, these people do not issue them, from the fear of completely tearing or losing the book resulting paying a fine. The availability of books online like Ebooks and Goodreads lso make people not to purchase actual books as they can be read free online without having the load to carry them. All of the above are seen as a threat to books in the age of electronic media. • WHY PRINTED BOOKS WILL NOT DIMINISH Physical Beauty of the Book Attracts The outer cover and the physical beauty of a book make it more appealing to the person purchasing...

...Information overload is a situation that has concerned many organizations. However, through the use of technology and ever-changing systems, organizations are developing new ways of controlling this problem. What is information overload? This is what some say in respect to information and what is happening to organizations in today’s fast paced hi- tech world; we are being overloaded with technological advances and information to the point where we will not be able to handle all this information and eventually burst. In actuality it is very improbable such an event will occur, with the advances that have allowed for such a great quantity in the flow of networked information has also allowed for that information to be managed successfully. Also organizations understanding of how to manage knowledge as well as holding an understanding to the relationship between information, data, knowledge, and wisdom are crucial to their success in not being inundated by mass amounts of information. This is no new problem to the human populous either, mankind has been dealing with this since our beginning and will continue for our existence; this is what allows us to succeed and be successful as a species in whole. At the beginning of Man’s very existence information has continually been compounding, and man has successfully been collecting and improving upon past lessons. Along with continually building on knowledge man had to come to terms with a way to store the knowledge and pass it...
