Thanks to Mark for hosting. The next host is Mike Beccaria over at Mike's Musings . I've seen some good stuff this week, so I expect you to send your best to Mike via his contact form . Remember, submissions are due by Sunday at 6 PM Eastern time. Comments? Posted by Greg at 10:12 PM A public reading of sorts In an earlier episode of the audio edition, I mentioned LibriVox , a distributed effort to record audiobooks of material in the public domain. My time to participate has come and I contributed a reading of Chapter 6 of Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent . I only ran through it once...and it shows. I'd hoped to re-record the chapter, but fatherhood calls. Anyway, I think I'll do better with my next assignment: the first three chapters of Dostoyevsky's Notes From the Underground If you relish the idea of taking part, think about signing up for the next projects:

Skip Navigation Clearinghouse: Calendar Funding Learning Policy ... Jobs Scholastic Book Distribution '05 Washington's Literacy Coalition Over the last several years, Washington, D.C. has experienced impressive economic growth. Unfortunately, many D.C. citizens lack the basic skills they need to take advantage of this robust economy. Moreover, many are not able to access the information they need to protect their health, safety or legal rights. And far too many are unable to read to their children. Thankfully, there are over a hundred programs and groups both large and small here in the District working to help our children, youth, and adults improve their literacy skills. However, most of these programs are small community-based organizations with limited resources. That's where D.C. LEARNs comes in. For nearly a decade, we have been Washington's literacy coalition . We work together with our members to raise public awareness of literacy issues, recruit volunteers , and provide the materials, research, training, and technical assistance needed to raise the quality of literacy services available to D.C. residents.

Hunger in the United States Health Consequences of Hunger National Statistics Hunger Studies Health Consequences of Hunger Hunger and undernutrition contribute to a number of negative health consequences: A joint analysis released by the Center on Hunger and Poverty at Brandeis University and the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) shows how hunger and obesity not only pose separate and distinct health risks, but also can co-exist in the same household. According to FRAC's survey of families living below 185 percent of poverty the Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project (CCHIP) hungry children suffer from two to four times as many individual health problems, such as unwanted weight loss, fatigue, headaches, irritability, inability to concentrate and frequent colds, as low-income children whose families do not experience food shortages. This relationship between hunger and health problems was unaffected by income. In other words, hunger had a strong effect on children's health no matter what the income level of their families. According to CCHIP, hungry children are more likely to be ill and absent from school.

Information Literacy URL for this webpage: http://www.lib.usf.edu/ref/ifrank/infolit.html Definitions of Information Literacy Making Library-Related Assignments Definitions of information literacy From a recent Google Glossary search: Definitions for information literacy from the web Information literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information in solving problems and composing discourse. It encompasses a set of competencies that will provide for survival and success in an information technology environment. The Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) report identifies information literacy as one of five essential skills that the workplace will demand of employees of the future. Teaching information literacy involves communicating the power and scope of information as well as explaining how information is organized, how it is retrieved through a variety of access sources and tools, and how to evaluate, organize, and apply information to a variety of problems and situations."
