Los Angeles Public Libraries serves over four million people, the largest population of any library system in the United States. In 2013, over fourteen million people visited the library and borrowed roughly fifteen million items. With a diverse patronage the clientele consists of children as young as preschool, kindergarten to twelfth grade, college students, adults, veterans, and senior citizens. It is the diversification that the libraries refer to when implementing services to ensure that customer needs are met.
The intention to posting the paper’s citation on D2L was so that the student could look for the paper on the Ryerson Library website by using the given information. By figuring out how to use the library website and familiarizing themselves with the database system, future research purposes will be easier and more efficient when finding citable papers.
One of the statements in the movie that was shown on September 12 at the Lawrence Public Library, “This Changes Everything,” that really resounded with me was, “We are its [Earth’s] machine. We are its masters.” Throughout the movie different locations were described, from the oil in Canada that was destroying the Beaver Lake Cree Nation, Yellowstone River in Montana, New York City, Pine Ridge, South Dakota, France, India, and China. It was interesting to link the different issues in those places to class. Each place had a similar environment issue, but each had problems that made their battle in preserving their environment unique.
There are an almost 120,000 libraries in America. Libraries are the foundation of the knowledge ecosystem within the U.S. There are different resources available, from books to DVDs, which patrons can easily borrow. In fact, the available nonfiction printed materials will also include hard to find academic and research publications.
Botnets and their zombie armies are a real problem in the IT community as stated by Zetter. (2015) The problems that they cause are becoming more widespread and keeping computers safe is becoming more and more problematic. Additionally, the library’s ISP has put the library in a position where they must provide their cyber security, or the ISP will have no alternative to discontinuing to provide internet access to the library’s public access computers. Therefore, the solution that I have proposed to correct the problem the Wayward Pines Public Library is experiencing is not only the best option but is also considered best practice as mentioned in the prior section.

The Puritans were very strict in their rules and ways of living. Many offences were considered sins to Puritans and were punishable by death or being shunned by society. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the three main characters all commit sins and suffer for doing so, bringing their own ruin. Sin has detrimental consequences for all people.
The U.S. population is shifting and minorities such as the Hispanic race will soon exceed all other races in our country. We librarians have a duty to introduce our younger generation of minorities to our profession and begin chaining the view for U.S. minorities to have a better understanding of our profession. By doing this we can begin to change the perspective of our profession and to help ensure that more future minorities enter our profession.
In addition to assessments, career counselors have a duty to provide clients with information that is high quality and conforms to the guidelines of professional associations, as well as, assisting them with processing and making sense of it (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2013). This information may take the form of printed information, computer-based systems, and websites, and must be: (a) readily available, (b) appropriate, and (c) user-friendly. One way to ensure this information is readily available to the client is to create a list of resources, or a resource library, which is appropriate to the target population, and includes a summary of the information provided and how it may be accessed. While not
Living in Los Angeles I believe is different compared to living in any other city in the United States. No other city really compares, at least I believe. Los Angeles is an extremely diverse city and every community differs from the next. There are numerous subgroups in Los Angeles, that really if one moves to the city, one will fit in right away with a specific group. I believe Los Angeles attracts people from all over the world because of how accepting the city is. I work in the Financial District part of Downtown Los Angeles, and even in downtown you will find different subgroups. Just in downtown you will find the Financial District, Jewelry Mart District, Flower, Fashion, Art and, so on. All of these is basically within walking distance
Charlie Gordon was just an ordinary man with an unordinary IQ of 64, but that all changed one day when he had an operation to make him intelligent, and the result was shocking. Charlie figured out about an experiment and wanted to have it done on him, but he didn’t know that this operation would ruin his life and that he should have never had it done in the first place.

Charlie works at a factory where all of his coworkers make fun of him without his knowledge, but when the two main doctors, dr. Strauss and dr.Nemur, select him to be used in an operation that will hopefully boost his intelligence to superhuman levels. This all works out and Charlie becomes smart, but with his intelligence he figures out that his friends aren’t really his friends, that he’s in love with his school teacher miss Kinnian, and he started to discover why the operation that he had was only temporary.
In the world today, Communism is a feared form of government; societies look upon North Korea in fear, and are scared of a day when their own government may turn to communism. When George Orwell wrote and published Animal Farm in 1945, it was the year WWII had ended. During the War, China and Russia were two major countries at war with each other; at the time China had become a communist country. George Orwell, who greatly disapproved of Communism, wrote Animal Farm to show the terrors of Communism and what causes it; which he believed was greed and the desire for power. In Animal Farm, George Orwell examines and illuminates that power and greed are two dangerous desires that will corrupt one and develop radical behavior that will eventually
As public libraries struggle to remain relevant in today’s society and respond to the changing needs of older adult patrons it is important to become more
“Number of programs”, “Number of program attendees”, “Attendees per program” are used to measure the capability of the library to offer a broad base of programs to the community. “Number of programs” is a good indicator to measure our ability to offer a large number of diverse programs. “Attendees per program” assesses the popularity of different types of programs currently being offered, which can help us identify whether the services we are offering is appealing to the customer. However, “Number of program attendees” is a weak indicator, since it variation could have very diverse reasons
March 9- March 29, 2017. I get involved in two clubs at school, where I interact with more people, developing my self-confidence by expressing myself in the opinions within the social group. During the first week, March 10, I get involved on a club, where I had meetings two days a week. That club was during lunch time. I meet new people, and we have topics to talk about the community. I attend at the club every Friday and Wednesday. In March 20, I get part of the Library Club, where I attend every Monday at Lunch. This goal will reward you for spending a day reading my favorite book on
