Introduction:
The Hinkle, Foster, & Smith law offices are situated in the Newberry building in Chicago. The firm used to cover half a floor of the building and consisted of six attorneys and approximately twelve support staff.

Environmental, education, and health law offices have also been added to the pre-existing sub-units. In brief, the change in management has benefitted the law offices increase in range and volume.
In contrast, the library of the firm has seen better days. The library provides the firm with case archives, legal reference materials, subscriptions, desks, and reading spaces. However, fewer people are visiting the library and utilizing the resources because they have electronic access to the reference and subscription materials. Diana Greensburg, who is the librarian and manager of the library, has had her position for the past 15 years but she has yet to witness a renovation of the facility. Fortunately, Smith’s administrative assistant, Helen Sparks, has informed Diana that a design consultant will be redesigning the office spaces and the library to increase efficiency. Helen has asked Diana for suggestions on how the library space

Working in any organization where there is lack of help, time, and supplies can be quite challenging for employees and management.

The author starts off with a rhetorical question: “What kind of problem is a library?” urging the readers to think about this question as they continue to read the article. The question grabs the readers’ attention, and intrigues them to read on to find and answer. She further utilizes this technique of rhetorical questions throughout the article for the same purpose of emphasis on the vitality of the role of public libraries. Moreover, Smith extensively employs the use of metaphors and personification. For example, she describes the internet as libraries’ “universal death knell”, which portrays the internet’s negative impact on the development of
Problems were identified when significant modifications were made by the supervisor to the loans section of the library over a short period. The changes included reorganisation of the part-time roster and work areas, revision of the flexible working hours for full-time staff and revision of the loans procedure manual. The errors lie not so much in the changes themselves, but in the application of the changes. There was a lack of strategic and long-term planning, with no prior consultation with staff. There is evidence the supervisor lacks the skills to make effective and sustainable decisions as well as undertake practical problem-solving.

This tedtalk by Rebecca Onie was informative. The kind of organization that she mention in her presentation was a social agency or social service agency at the housing unit at Greater Boston legal Service that Rebecca was interning. According to Karen and Kirst-Ashman (2011), “Social services may be institutional, that is, those provided by major public service systems that administer such benefits as financial assistance, housing programs, health care, or education” (Karen and Kirst-Ashman, 2011, p.137). Here Rebecca got the chance to work low-income families in Boston who came in with housing issues but at the same time had other health issues too and this is when it is called personal social service according to Karen and Kirst-Ashman (2011). Personal social service is “address more individualized needs involving interpersonal relationships and people’s ability to function within their immediate environment” (Karen and Kirst-Ashman, 2011, p.137). Most of the time when this people come in with their issue for example housing issue, they also have another issue which might be lack of food and when people lack proper nutrition, they are bound to get sick or have other issues that is wrong with them.
The case study provides an incisive look at problems facing Richard, Wood and Hulme LLP. The main problem addressed is the lack of cohesion in the team working for Spector Industries. This is a major problem for the company for two reasons. First of all, Spector is an important client. Secondly, team work has been a strategy for RWH since it began operation. Thus, a lack of cohesion among team members affects the tight deadlines that the company has and team morale is lowered due to the firing of two favourite senior employees. The report advises alternative actions based on decision criteria’s and alternative analysis matrix and provides key recommendations to avoid such problems in future. It does not make any changes to the current process and proposes the best alternative solutions which could resolve the current situation and avoid the same in future audits.
There are shared assumptions that have developed overtime as a means of understanding the world, which are unique in every culture; these are commonly referred to as social constructions. In The Polished Hoe, written by Austin Clarke, these constructions become clear, in efforts to shed light on the inequalities that plague habitants of the Caribbean who inherited specific invariable traits. In the land of Bimshire, Barbados as we know it, being classified as anything other than a landowning white male, comes with a host of prejudices that deems one to a lifetime of indirect servitude. Gender is a clear barrier that decides whether someone becomes a wealthy citizen, or a submissive spouse at the mercy of her superior. Hence, the untold

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to advocate for the preservation of public libraries in America.
The current service model employed by the Library includes limited technology-driven services and is primarily based around a reference desk staffed by information professionals during opening hours. However, due to the information and communications technology (ICT) revolution of the last few decades and the resulting ease with which users are able access information and services via the Internet, the Library is being confronted with swiftly changing behaviours and expectations from their users - as a result Curtin’s traditional services are no longer fulfilling the various users needs. To prove its ongoing usefulness and relevance to their users, the Library must redesign its services by embracing technology and Web 2.0 techniques, redesigning face-to-face services,
