The World

Organized by ALSC’s Special Collections and Bechtel Fellowship Committee, a group of eight guests were treated to a presentation of some of the rare wonders for children at the Library of Congress (LC) while in Washington, DC, for the 2019 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference.Our guide was Dr. Sybille A. Jagusch, chief, Children’s Literature Center in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. She manages the collection of 600,000 children’s items, acquires and purchases items for the collection, arranges lectures, plans and executes exhibitions with printed guides in many cases, and is open to sharing (as she did for us) delightful items that were once handled by children from the United States as well as the rest of the world.

Selection Of

<p>The catalogue entries for much of the items housed within Auckland Libraries special collections of children’s literature contain many gaps and limitations. In order to illustrate these limitations this project has focused on the collection’s holdings of items dated from 1880-1889. As the collections are arranged in date order I was able to examine the selection of items in a systematic fashion with the help of special collections staff, working through the items as they appeared on the shelf, annotating each item and noting discrepancies with and gaps in the catalogued information as I went. It is hoped that this project will not only assist library staff in updating the records for the items contained herein, and act as a guide to researchers wishing to learn about and access the collection, but also highlight issues of access to and cataloguing of rare books for the profession. Addressing the issues of subject headings, publication dates, and call numbers, as well as the cataloguing issues across the wider collections would of course require further work, but would be of great benefit to the library, its staff, and its patrons.</p>

Bodies Of Evidence

Abstract Objective – To examine the fit between libraries’ needs for evaluation skills, and library education and professional development opportunities. Many library position descriptions and many areas of library science education focus on professional skills and activities, such as delivering information literacy, designing programs, and managing resources. Only some positions, some parts of positions, and some areas of education specifically address assessment/evaluation skills. The growth of the Library Assessment Conference, the establishment of the ARL-ASSESS listserv, and other evidence indicates that assessment skills are increasingly important. Method – Four bodies of evidence were examined for the prevalence of assessment needs and assessment education: the American Library Association core competencies; job ads from large public and academic libraries; professional development courses and sessions offered by American Library Association (ALA) divisions and state library associations; and course requirements contained in ALA-accredited Masters of Library Science (MLS) programs. Results – While one-third of job postings made some mention of evaluation responsibilities, less than 10% of conference or continuing education offerings addressed assessment skills. In addition, management as a topic is a widespread requirement in MLS programs (78%), while research (58%) and assessment (15%) far less common. Conclusions – Overall, there seems to be more need for assessment/evaluation skills than there are structured offerings to educate people in developing those skills. In addition, roles are changing: some of the most professional-level activities of graduate-degreed librarians involve planning, education, and assessment. MLS students need to understand that these macro skills are essential to leadership, and current librarians need opportunities to add to their skill sets.

RESUMOA escolarização da criança autista apresenta dificuldades, estando comprometida pelas dificuldades na interação social, expressão de sentimentos e pensamentos. A construção de um material de literatura infantil adaptado pode facilitar a interação social e a expressão contextualizada de si. A literatura infantil favorece a reflexão sobre a maneira de agir diante das situações sociais, possibilitando elencar atitudes próprias ao contexto. Desenvolvemos uma história social, suportada num livro multissensorial, que tem como mote o cotidiano escolar. Há também uma diversificação de suportes para a história: um CD com a história narrada, um texto com a escrita simplificada e outro com a história contada em comunicação aumentativa; atendendo às diferentes necessidades dos sujeitos. Espera-se que, com o uso desse material, que está em experimentação, amplie-se a possiblidade de interação entre professor-aluno e entre o aluno e seus pares, facilitando o processo de significação de conceitos e comportamentos sociais. Afirma-se a urgência de entender as especificidades da educação da pessoa autista, tanto na escola como fora dela, respeitando-a no seu direito de pertencer a uma comunidade.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Autismo.

Educaçãosociocomunitária. Children's literature adapted in inclusive education: alternatives for inclusion in the autistic student in socio-communitarian perspectiveABSTRACTThe schooling of autistic child has difficulty, being hampered by difficulties in social interaction, expression of feelings and thoughts. The construction of a material adapted children's literature can facilitate social interaction and contextual expression of oneself. Children's literature encourages reflection on how to act in social situations, allowing the context to list own attitudes. We developed a social history, backed by a multisensory book with the motto everyday school life. There is also a diversity of media for the story: a CD with narrated story, a text written with the simplified and the other with the story told in augmentative communication; meeting the different needs of individuals. It is expected that with the use of this material, which is in trial, magnify the possibility of interaction between teacher and student and between students and their peers, facilitating the process of meaning of concepts and social behavior. Affirms the urgent need to understand the specifics of education of autistic person, both in and outside school, respecting their right to belong to a community.KEYWORDS: Autism. Inclusion.
