...Let me give you some quick examples of why you must know math in your daily life: ANYTHING you study makes you smarter! math is used in everyday life to count up the answers to things like how much of an ingredient to add when you're cooking, how much money you have in your bank account, how big a rug will you need for your bedroom, and what size tires should you put on your car math helps you decide if something is a good idea - when you know how to calculate the odds or percentage of something, you can decide if it is a good risk or not math helps you be creative - without a good understanding of basic math, you can't create good art, wallpaper your room, figure out how to mix paints, or do any sort of needlework math is used to get the most bang for your buck - if you can do simple math, you can compare prices and get the best deals, you can plan out a good budget so that you save money, and you can plan out your trips to save gas and time math is used to predict the future - if you can do simple math, you can figure out what your grade average will be, how long it will take to save up for that new laptop, and when to buy or sell stocks and make a killing on the market math helps you play sports - what, you didn't think jocks had to study math? How else can you keep score, figure out the odds, calculate a batting average or basket percentage, and decide which yard line your team is on?

...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...

... 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,...

...Project Management Case Studies These case studies represent a range of projects in different libraries. They are all based on real events. The participating librarians were asked to provide details of projects within the headings used in the case study template which is located at the end of this document. Each case study is presented using these headings to enable the reader to make comparisons between the projects but there is some slight variation of style and detail. Although some editing has been done by the writer of these learning objects, the intention is to retain as much of the individuality of each project as possible. Brief conclusion and analysis is provided at the end of each case study by the writer of these learning objects. Several of the projects are ongoing at the time of writing. This partly reflects the nature of projects in ILS whereby they run parallel to mainstream service delivery. This offers real challenges for those involved and especially for the project leader who will continually need to prioritise the tasks, commitment and speed of working towards completion. None of these projects have been submitted by or directly involve senior managers. Although most have some approval and reporting to senior staff, these projects are managed by professionals in the middle management strata of their organizations and involve different grades of staff or volunteers. Senior staff are less accessible than middle managers and would probably claim to...

...OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES IN SUPPORTING RESEARCHERS’ INFORMATION NEEDS Arinawati Ayob Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 USM Pulau Pinang ABSTRACT As one of the supporting departments of a university, the academic library plays an important role in providing essential information resources and services to the researchers. Changes in information technology have impacted libraries due to changes in the format of information resources and the information seeking behavior of users. Technology has transformed the way researchers seek, obtain and use information. Libraries therefore need to critically examine the effectiveness of their services in fulfilling their researchers‟ information needs. An assessment of the effectiveness of library services has been conducted at an academic library based on selected criteria in four domains stated in the literature; 1) resources 2) services 3) library/stakeholders interactions and 4) access. The result from the survey has provided ideas about the strengths and the weaknesses of the library services from the perspective of researchers. The research also studied the relationship between demographic characteristics and library activities of the researchers and their perceived effectiveness of the library services in supporting their information needs. Keywords: Library Assessment; Outcome Assessment; User Studies; Effectiveness of Academic Library; Researchers‟ Information...

...The Library Ergonomics of the Automated Workstation of the Library Staffs in Angeles City Remedios DL. Baking Holy Angel University Graduate Department Library Science February 2008 Abstract The library is considered an important educational system in which the library staffs are the key persons in the provision of unquantifiable information services to library patrons and community of users. Poor working conditions affect the physical well-being of the library staffs. In line with this, the researcher attempted to find how the workstations of the library staffs and workers of the seven (7) academic institutions and eleven (11) schools institutions in Angeles City are ergonomically designed. The researcher used the descriptive method and inferential statistics such as T-test to check the significant differences between the library ergonomics of the academic and school institutions and also percentage distribution and weighted mean of the responses of the research respondents. Findings of the study showed that library staffs in both academic and school libraries were not fully ergonomically aware on the different physical factors that strain their bodies when staying in their workstation. The respondents indicated uncertainty on the comfort they have on their workstation. They also indicated that they experienced less stress on the eyes but they experienced much pain on the wrist and neck. These pains that were brought by the unergonomic...

...MANAGING SERVICE QUALITY WITH THE BALANCED SCORECARD Roswitha Poll THE DATA IN THE CONTROLLING SYSTEM Traditionally, libraries have collected statistical data about their collections, acquisitions, lending, and inter-lending activities. In time, the number of statistics was enlarged and differentiated, and in many cases, it now comprises several hundred data points. These range from the number of incunabula or microforms in the collection, the expenditure on preservation or buildings to the number of issues made, claims and reservations placed or visits made to exhibitions and special events. These statistics are, for the most part, collected nationally, but libraries also tend to collect additional statistics, (e.g. for special tasks and activities like legal deposit right, special collections, or services for special user groups). All those statistical data could be used as steering instruments for library management. But such use is more often accidental than systematic, and many data are collected laboriously without ever being evaluated or used. For several decades libraries have tried to assess, not only the quantity of their resources and activities, but also the quality – the “goodness” of a library’s services and products. Performance measures for libraries have been developed and tested in national and international projects and standardized in an international standard (ISO 11620, 1998). Though there are lists of recognized and established performance indicators...
