...Revised Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership Essay Information literacy is essential for leaders, scholars and researchers to help them lead and build the needed skills academically and within their workplace environment. Resources for information literacy are constantly growing to meet today's society needs. To some leaders and scholars, this type of convenience is more of a blessing while other who cannot understand the process see it as a hindrance. The discussions of this paper is focused on leaders without a scholarly background, the effects of leadership skills on a practitioner, the role that information literacy material is on scholars, and the relationship that I have with information literacy and the SPL Model. An additional discussion is focused on synthesize thinking toward scholarship, practice, and leadership and the significant role that they process in decision-making. Leaders Without A Scholarly Background In today's society companies are no longer developing leaders through their management-training program, this money saving approach has eliminated the up spring of bright employees into a promising leadership role. Leaders that work within the shipyard profession with no scholarly background will lack the knowledge of knowing their strengths and limits. They will lack the ability toward seizing the opportunity and fail to take advance of key organizational cues and norms. Shipyard leaders with no scholarly background will avoid dealing with and resolving...

...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...

...Toghrul Novruzlu Essay question: Why are some countries rich and some countries poor? Income Inequality across the Nations The citizens of the 30 richest countries, occupying the top of the list, the variable of which is the GDP per capita across the world nations, enjoy yearly income exceeding $ 30000, while in the 30 countries placed at the bottom of the list, the average income per year remains below $ 2000 - These statistics provided by the International Monetary Fund(IMF) in 2012 indicate the persistence of a problem in the 21st century , on account of which the world has remain polarized for many centuries. Pointed out by these IMF –presented statistics is the income disparity across the world countries, an issue that has drawn the lines dividing the world and challenging its unity. The coexistence of the prosperous nations with flourishing economies and high income, which are mainly the Western nations and recently the states of the Far East, and the poverty-stricken third-world trapped into intractable socio-economic problems is one of the many striking contrasts of today’s world. At a time when the international development is discussed more than at any time in the history, the study of the reasons for the income disparity between the poor and the rich countries remains of great interest and importance for the world. Increasing the importance of such studies is the endeavors of the international organizations to redress the economic imbalance in the world....

...Assessment Essay p. 5-10 College Learning Essay p. 11-17 Analyzing Arguments Essay p. 18-23 Cover Letter This midterm portfolio shows how I have progressed has a college reader and writer. Before this class I had trouble even understanding how to write a thesis and now I think I can definitely write a college level thesis. I have progressed to know how to incorporate my evidence into my concise and focused thesis statement. For example in the self assessment essay my thesis was, “Due to transferring to many schools over my first two years of college, I feel like I have had the opportunity to build up many habits of mind from Framework for Success in Post-Secondary Writing, especially in flexibility, openness and persistence but still can develop in metacognition and creativity in order to become a more successful college writer.” This showed that I could adapt a thesis to the assignment and it was focused and used my sources. At this point in the semester, a strength I have is the ability to connect source evidence with my thesis. I am able to develop my focused thesis around source-based evidence. For example in the college learning essay I was able to use my interview with my friend who was an elementary teacher to help develop my thesis about how teaching has changed due to technology. I also think another strength I have is organizing my paper in a proper order. In the three essays in this portfolio I organized the essays with...

Technology has changed almost every part of our society, including our educational methods. Traditionally, schools tell their stakeholders what needs exist for students in their school. Authors like Fuller (1996) and Siemans (2004) have shown that educators, as a group, have a gap in their perception of computer usage. This gap suggests that teachers may not be using computers competently in their lesson plans. Early implementation of computers in classrooms was an additional activity rather than integrating them into the core curriculum. Other resistance to technology integration comes from the idea that the school day is already too busy and teachers cannot add anything new (Jenkins, Clinton, Purushotma, Robinson, & Weigel, 2006). Outside the classroom, students are on the forefront of technology usage. Today’s students are considered...

...The dreadful “Why this school?” essay. While I could sit here and draft a well-detailed essay on UChicago’s education and reputation, I feel propelled to talk about the unique factors that UChicago possesses that makes it a perfect school for me. Contrary to many prospective students, I am not attracted to UChicago solely based on its proximity to Chicago or incredible academic reputation. I am attracted to Uchicago because of the sense of home I experienced when I first stepped onto the campus. It felt as if I had finally found that piece that I was missing my whole life. I could easily picture myself being a part of the UChicago community. I saw myself entering John Crerar Library and interacting with students of multiple majors and cultures thanks to the core curriculum that bonded us. I saw myself creating a new family. I knew that University of Chicago would become the doors to my academic success when I sat to observe a physics class. I was automatically drawn by the way the professor taught his material. Through the use of real world applications, the professor was able to maintain his class engaged the whole time. This form of teaching was brand new to...

...my goal. Setting Goals Setting goals is key when it comes to achieving them. It is crucial to set realistic goals that you know you can accomplish as opposed to setting unrealistic one that you know is far from reach. The University talks a lot about setting goals and achieving them. According to University of Phoenix Goal Setting and Time Management (2014), S.M.A.R.T. goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely. One personal goals that I set forth for myself is to obtain by Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Management. That will enable me in my career to move the corporate ladder and acquire the position I see myself in. The Writing Process Good writing is essential for success in school and the 21st Century workplace. Writing is a combination of skill that is best taught by breaking up the writing process. By focusing on the process of writing, almost everyone learns to write successfully. The five steps in the writing process are pre writing, making a draft, revising, editing, and publishing. (University of Phoenix, 2014). When the writer goes through the step by step process the mystery is alleviated and it becomes easier for the writer to compose a...
