     Extractions: Alex Richards The policy of cooperation has produced efficient results in terms of services, where it has been put to use: bibliographical data basis, collective regional catalog, cooperative purchasing of automation systems for libraries. The choice of cooperation for the Caribbean region and its basement is examined in this paper. It does not appear that the cooperation practice is not as natural and fluent as it is sometimes said; therefore, a thought on the very ways of cooperating is now needed as regarding the stakes, the final aims, the practice and its means, the partnerships, the professionals. I thought, while engaging in this work, that to speak of cooperation within the Caribbean region was a perilous exercise. In the past years many local and cooperative initiatives were taken, as well as the edifying of new national architecture with the building of new libraries in the documentary landscape of some islands (i.e. Guadeloupe, Martinique, Anguilla, Antigua, Saint Martin). If I'm attempting to write something on cooperation now when links are taken, it does not mean that never before has anyone cooperated (some examples of cooperation: Saint Maarten/ Saint Martin, Saint Martin/Guadeloupe, Guadeloupe/Martinique or even the cooperation taking place through APLA, association of libraries of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba). Neither does it mean that from now on, on e will cooperate much more. The passage to action remains difficult, because behind the converging towards a common action are significant differences. Such a project is often built on an artificial consensus, nurtured by the energy of a hand full, motivated by the ambition of some others, permitted by the opportunism of some and held back by the resistance of those who do not share the idea!

     Extractions: Kahoolawe The Cultural Reserve From Luamakika, the 1,477-foot-high crater that's the highest point on Kahoolawe, you get a sweeping view of Lanai, Molokai and South Maui. Across the channel, Haleakala, the 10,000-foot peak on Maui, dominates the view. It's beautiful and majestic, but it is Kahoolawe's cruelest enemy. The entire island of Kahoolawe sits in Haleakala's rain shadow. The windward side of Maui gets up to 350 inches of rain a year, but Kahoolawe, sitting in the lee of the massive volcano, gets barely 25 inches a year. This, the smallest of the major Hawaiian islands, is also the driest. Despite its unpromising conditions, Kahoolawe has a firm place in Native Hawaiian history. In ancient times, the channel between Kahoolawe and Lanai was called Kealaikahiki, Ñthe pathway to Tahiti.æ It was here that the voyaging canoes left on their perilous journeys to the islands of Southern Polynesia. One of Kahoolawe's peaks held a school for navigation by the stars, which was the Hawaiians' method for finding their way across the vast expanses of the Pacific. There were also religious and fishing shrines and a major quarry for making adz, an axlike tool formed of hard stone. For several centuries, the island supported a settlement of hundreds of Hawaiians. That settlement left a priceless archaeological record, largely because hardly anyone has lived on the island since.
