Los nuevos imperialismos y las luchas por la paz
Authors: Napoleón Saltos Galarza
Published: October 2019

El texto aborda las trasmutaciones del capitalismo tardío, desde dos perspectivas, los cambios estructurales y las modifi caciones de las contradicciones interimperialistas, y del dominio de los pueblos. En el primer aspecto, no estamos en la fase de transición, sino en un tiempo previo, marcado por la decadencia del capitalismo mundial, pero con la ausencia de un horizonte utópico alternativo, aunque podemos ubicar semillas antisistémicas desdela resistencia de los pueblos y experiencias parciales. Estamos ante las formas extremas de la modernidad liberal, que concluye el proceso de extrañamiento del sujeto individual, ahora consigo mismo, en un poshumanismo, que tiene como horizonte distópico la inteligencia artifi cial y la racionalidad cínica. En el segundo aspecto, la paradoja es la presencia de una especie de “ultraimperialismo”, con la concentración extrema de la riqueza y de nuevas formas de pobreza, exclusión y desechabilidad de pueblos y continentes; pero con la agudización de las contradicciones interimperialistas. Enfrentamos a los imperialismos, en plural. No se cumplió la expectativa del “fi n de la historia” y del triunfo de Occidente, después de la Caída del Muro, sino que entramos en una fase de guerras y confl ictos en diversa escala. No se trata de una reedición de la “Guerra Fría” entre dos polos, sino de un proceso complejo: la contradicción entre el eje Norte-Sur, liderado por el imperialismo norteamericano en relación con las potencias tradicionales EE.UU.-UE-Japón, y el ejeEste-Oeste, liderado por la alianza China-Rusia en relación con los BRICs; y la presencia de contradicciones al interior de cada polo entre dinámicas globalistas-fi nancieras y nacionalistas-posindustriales. El fi n del orden westfaliano y el debilitamiento de los  estados-nacionales, se combina con el vacío de un Estado mundial, que trata de ser copado por el imperialismo norteamericano, como guardián mundial, en base a una estrategia guerrerista y el refuerzo de tendencias de nuevas carreras armamentistas. En la relación con los pueblos del Sur, la modifi cación principal de los nuevos imperialismos está en los dispositivos de “acumulación por desposesión” y en la delegación de guerras civiles enmarcadas en disputas geopolíticas, con dinámicas de vaciamiento de los estados nacionales. Con ello, las fronteras de las guerras y los puntos calientes de los confl ictos se ubican en el entrecruzamiento de tres dinámicas:el control de los cinco monopolios estratégicos, sobre todo vinculados a la renta tradicional y la renta tecnológica; las confrontaciones civilizatorias-religiosas-étnicas; y las disputas geopolíticas.La pregunta fi nal es sobre los caminos de la paz desde los pueblos y desde el Sur: negociaciones o rendiciones, resistencias y desconexiones, luchas éticopolíticas.
La Maison de l'Amérique Latine y el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile: proyectos espejados para una propuesta local de la visualidad 1
Authors: Allende Contador Matías Allende Contador
Published: October 2019

El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile, es el primer museo en coleccionar producción actual y experimental, lo que determina sunombre, en toda América Latina. Cobijado bajo la estructura universitaria, este Museo tiene la disyuntiva de su antigüedad, a su vez que presenta un programa expositivo contemporáneo. Esa discusión podría remitirse a la literatura artística de entre guerras en Francia (1918-1939), esa conexión noes azarosa, y profundizar en los planteamientos retóricos, comparados con otra institución parisina como es la Maison de l’Amérique Latine, es unatarea necesaria.
Principals’ Perceptions of the Impact of School Library on Student Academic Achievement in Rural Thailand and Factors Driving Their Perceptions
Authors: Wimolsittichai Nilobon
Published: October 2019

School libraries in rural Thailand have faced a serious long-term problem in developing effective libraries, and could not achieve a minimum criteria of school library standard. Key people who influences in supporting and contributing an effective library are school principals because they have authorities in directing and administration the facilitation of change in the schools. Therefore, school principals require to understand the values and impacts of school library on students’ academic achievement. The principals’ perceptions about the impact of school library on students’ academic achievement not only present their awareness of the value of school library on student’s academic achievement, but also reflect their attention on contributing effective libraries. This paper presents the principals’ perceptions of small public primary school in rural Thailand and the factors that drive their perceptions about the impact of school library on students’ academic achievement, which is one part of the study of school libraries and their roles in rural Thailand. These perceptions meaningfully presented the understanding and awareness of school principals about the library values on increasing students’ academic achievement, and revealed the factors influencing those principals’ perceptions. This information was further integrated with rural school libraries’ characteristics and situations to clarify their scenarios and local context, which is important to understand the causes making these libraries struggle to be effective, how to manage with school library issues and develop effective school libraries in rural Thailand.

The Effect of Z-Libraries (Enhanced Libraries) on the Reading Level and Creative Reading of the Students at High Schools: Çankaya Sample
Authors: Girgeç Nurhan , Cerit Melike
Published: October 2019

The aim of this study is to identify the significant increase in the reading level of the students at high schools after the establishment of the Z-Libraries and to show whether creative reading is carried out more consciously at high schools that have Z-libraries.

For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to 400 students in 4 different types of high schools with a similar score range in Çankaya, the district of Ankara. The fact that there is Z-library in the researcher’s institution, and the researcher’s review of records of the books borrowed before the Z-library was established, and the records of the books borrowed after the Z-library was established, have given the researcher the opportunity to make more effective observations. Data analysis was carried out with the SPSS program.

The questionnaires applied, the research conducted and the results of the participated observation can be interpreted in this way: Students at the high schools that have Z-library read more and fulfil creative reading more consciously. At the same time, they are aware of the benefits and environment provided by Z-library, and they use the library more effectively than the students who use the library at other high schools that have an ordinary library.

As a result, with its wide-range of access to knowledge, with its ergonomic design and the diversity of collections and its systematic functioning, Z-Libraries not only provide students with a good reading habit, but also enable them creative reading awareness. It is no doubt the library type that serves the needs of the 21st century should be the Z-Libraries based on technology.
The Student’s Voice on Information Literacy Skills: Using the 2017 AASL Standards Framework for Learners
Authors: Garrison Kasey L. , FitzGerald Lee , Sheerman Alinda
Published: October 2019

The 2017 Standards Framework for Learners designed by the American Association of School Librarians offers educators a support guide for creating, implementing and assessing meaningful, structured learning tasks focused on important information literacy skills for students. In this study, we use the Curate element of the AASL Standards Framework for Learners as a lens to analyse students’ voices and experiences while engaged in a Guided Inquiry unit, focusing particularly on their information seeking and use. Findings indicate students have sophisticated understandings of their own information literacy skills, how they engage with information, and the skills needed to be efficient curators of information, but they feel challenged and unconfident about their own skills in completing research tasks. These findings support the role of the school librarian in scaffolding young researchers through this process.
Effect of Bibliotherapy on Unruly Behaviour of Young People in Correctional Homes in Lagos State Nigeria
Authors: Adeyeye Sophia , Oyewusi Fadekemi
Published: October 2019

Bibliotherapy (use of books) is employed in this study with the intention to control the behaviour of young girls resident in a correctional home. This is relevant to the work of school librarians because they can help to find appropriate books that would influence positively the behaviour of young people in correctional homes. Thirty-six female participants took part in the bibliotherapy sessions that made use of Focus Group Discussion (FGD). These girls were separated into two categories - child offenders (17 girls) and out of parental control (19 girls). The study employed the use of a Nigerian authored story book which was read to them during the FGD for 10 weeks. The study found that after reading and discussion of themes in the book, the participants had more understanding of what good behaviour entailed. They became remorseful and sober which was evident during the discussions.
Rewiring Empathy: The Value of Multicultural Literature in the Classroom
Authors: Conrad Heather
Published: October 2019

Reading multicultural novels cultivates empathy for diverse people, cultures, and environments in ways that Internet use cannot. The act of reading fictional books has been shown to increase the capacity for empathy in the reader. Internet use, by contrast, has been shown to reduce students’ ability to remember, concentrate, and engage in the deep reading and contemplation activity that develops empathy. Empathy is vital to our global future. Hate crimes are increasing in the United States, United Kingdom, and elsewhere; worldwide, the number of political and climate-change refugees is increasing and the biodiversity of other species is declining. Addressing these problems requires an increase in human empathy and cooperation. Therefore multicultural books are vital to preparing students for our changing world. It is up to schools to discover, acquire, and prioritize multicultural books in the classroom.
School Library: How to Break the Walls
Authors: Sirihal Duarte Adriana Bogliolo , Vilela Paiva Raquel Miranda
Published: October 2019

The present paper analyzes the possibility of the school library breaking the four walls to which we are used to, using data collected during field research for a doctorate research, from observation and interview with students. Three schools in Belo Horizonte city were researched, one of which really broke the walls of the library, taking the collection to the classrooms. Preliminary observation data showed significant differences among the use of the three spaces, which became clearer in the interviews. The results showed that the differential is, however, in the performance of the professional present in this place. It was evident that the school library should concern about the professional, regardless of the space. Breaking the walls of the library was not the most effective solution to bring students closer to reading and the available materials. So, it is up to the librarian, and not the collection, to break the barriers.
Theory Building for the Profession of Teacher Librarianship: An Application of Meta-Ethnography
Authors: Everhart Nancy , Johnston Melissa P.
Published: October 2019

The lack of theoretical foundations for research in the field of library and information science is well documented and leads researchers to borrow from other fields. In the case of school library research, the tendency is to borrow from the field of education. While many theories from education and other disciplines are applicable to school library research, there needs to be development of theory among school library researchers in order to give practitioners understanding of the complex relationships involved in school libraries and guide future research efforts. Meta-ethnography uses findings reported in previous studies as building blocks for gaining deeper understanding of a particular phenomenon and is highly applicable for the initial stages of theory development. This paper provides a thorough description of the meta-ethnography method and an example of how meta-ethnography can be applied for theory building in school library research.
“The Library Will Buy You a Book Day”: A Novel Approach to Promoting Recreational Reading
Authors: Hilliker Robert
Published: October 2019

This paper examines the impact of “The Library Will Buy You a Book Day,” an event designed to promote recreational reading among students at The Hotchkiss School, an independent boarding high school of roughly 600 students located in Lakeville, Connecticut. Situating this event in the ever-growing body of research showing that an interest in reading for pleasure correlates strongly with academic success, this paper suggests one approach to putting the research to work in designing programs that increase students’ likelihood of engaging in recreational reading by promoting positive attitudes towards reading in the community and reducing barriers to access to compelling books.
Professional Development via Facebook Group: Perception of School Librarians
Authors: Hossain Zakir
Published: October 2019

Facebook offers the ability to its users to create a group on a specific subject or interest and ask friends and acquaintances to join and share information which is entirely driven by them. This study seeks to explore whether and how Facebook group adds value to the complex process of school librarians’ professional development. The successive objectives are to understand the current and future professional learning trends in school librarianship through Facebook group posts. An online questionnaire was posted to selected Facebook groups and sent to two school librarians’ listservs, and 404 usable responses were received. Study findings indicate that with the Facebook group, School Library Professionals (SLPs) are able to stay informed with new knowledge in their field by exchanging information, opportunities and ideas. The findings also confirm that more and more SLPs are using, or at the very least, experiencing Facebook groups as a Professional Development Tool (PDT). Study data shows that 78.4 percent of SLPs desire to see posts related to ‘teaching resources’ and 63.8 percent ‘how to use technology’ on the Facebook group and are also indicative of the current professional learning trends of SLPs. Research skills tips (67.9%), makerspace ideas (57%) and how to collaborate with classroom teachers (51.6%) are found to be the top future professional learning aspirations of SLPs. This paper provides valid empirical evidence and highlights that many SLPs are using Facebook groups and 38.4 percent regarded it as a ‘very useful tool’ for professional development. The discussions that take place on Facebook groups empower and enhance librarians’ professional practice and networking.
Creating, Completing and Critiquing Our First MOOC
Authors: Icke Amy
Published: October 2019

MOOCs allow anyone, anywhere, to access high quality learning materials via online platforms. With a rise in online learning, and a growing recognition of how this can support continuing professional development in the education sector, in 2016, the GDST (The Girls’ Day School Trust) became the first non-university education organisation in the UK to partner with the MOOC platform FutureLearn and launched its first course. This research paper outlines the history of MOOCS, how the GDST MOOC fits into this landscape, and how and why we created it. This paper will then go on to explore the challenges and opportunities of running an online course, before looking at how we are evaluating the first-run using qualitative and quantitative data.
Building a Successful Reading Culture through the School Library: A Case Study of a Singapore Secondary School
Authors: Ee Loh Chin , Ellis Mary , Paculdar Agnes Alcantara , Wan Zhong Hao , Ng Yuiyun
Published: October 2019

Much research has documented the strong correlation between independent reading and academic achievement, and the school library can serve a crucial role in encouraging reading. Drawing from one case study out of a larger dataset of six schools, this paper details how one school transformed its school library and made it a central place for reading within the school. Data collected provided evidence of the kinds of strategies, programmes and design that works to encourage reading. Schoolwide reading surveys, interviews with principals, teachers and Library coordinators at each school and interviews with students gave an understanding of the culture of reading and library use within the school. Qualitative library observations, timed counts, narratives and time-lapse photographs of library space contribute to our understanding of how particular spaces within the library was used for reading or not. Factors for building a reading culture include: (1) Designing conducive spaces for reading, (2) Curating the selection for readers, (3) Creating programmes to excite readers, (4) Designing spaces for reading, and (5) Building an ecology for reading.
Libraries on the Move: By Land, By Sea, and By Air
Authors: Moore Jennifer , Elkins Aaron , Boelens Helen
Published: October 2019

Libraries are critical to literacy development, particularly in developing nations where literacy rates are low, poverty rates are high, and resources are limited. School libraries in developing nations often suffer from inadequate resources, staffing, and facilities. Mobile libraries have been delivering resources and services via land and water routes to communities in developing nations, though their support of school children may be limited. Emerging technologies in the form of digital mobile libraries offer the potential to bring high quality resources and services to schools and communities. In this paper, the authors discuss/explore myriad mobile libraries, particularly in developing nations, the state of school library programs in developing nations, and the potential of digital mobile libraries to transcend the physical walls of libraries to better foster literacy for students and their communities.
Challenges and Issues That Are Faced by the Sri Lankan School Library Staff (2000-2016 period)
Authors: Ranaweera Prasanna
Published: October 2019

This study focuses on challenges and issues faced by the Sri Lankan School Library staff recruited under the General Education Project 2 (GEP 2). The study was conducted in order to identify the pros and cons of the GEP 2 Library staff training project. 4000 teacher librarians were recruited to the school libraries under the GEP 2 Project. The National Institute of Library and Information Science (NILIS), University of Colombo, was established under this project. In 2003 NILIS introduced Masters, Post-graduate Diplomas, Diploma and Certificate courses in Library Sciences, in order to train the newly recruited teacher librarians and support staff. This study proposes to reveal the main factors which contributed towards the inadequate number of students for the NILIS courses, which were mainly due to the policies of the government regarding staff training, and the school libraries in Sri Lanka. This study was carried out with the available written documents, communications, and face to face interviews, with the relevant parties. NILIS is struggling to improve the training of school library staff throughout the island in numerous ways, in spite of the red notice by the authorities to close down the Institute. Subsequently due to the best practice of NILIS it was possible to convince the officials of the Ministry of Education regarding the importance of School libraries, and staff training, which resulted in the increase of the number of students from 26 in 2013, to 250 in 2016.

Developing Students’ Information Skills based on Empowering 8 Information Literacy Model in The Siyabalanduwa Educational Zone, Sri Lanka
Authors: Pemadasa P. G. , Ranaweera Prasanna
Published: October 2019

According to the statistics of the Examination Department in Sri Lanka, Monaragala is one of the lowest ranked educational zones of the at the General Certificate in Education (Advanced Level) Examination which is the final examination in school education. Siyabalanduwa division, a rural area located about 280 km away from the the capital of Colombo, has been obtaining the lowest rank in this examination during each year. Therefore, the researchers decided to carry out an action research as a pilot program, with the collaboration of principals, instructors and school librarians in this education division in order to remedy the above problem. Nine schools which were conducting courses of instructions for the advanced level examination in this division, were chosen for the research. Initially, a three day workshop was conducted for a group of 40 members which included principals, three advanced level teachers of the science, arts, and commerce streams and the school librarians. The concepts of information and learning, resource based learning, information literacy, empowering 8 information literacy model and information literacy skills were discussed during the first two days. The method of carrying out an action research was presented on the final day. As an outcome of this action research, each school decided to conduct a one month information literacy orientation program for newcomers to the advanced level classes. To identify the students’ prior knowledge, a common written paper was applied as a pre-test. After analyzing the students’ answer scripts, each school prepared an action plan which was conducted using the school library, audio visual room, and the computer laboratory, as a collaborative teaching learning process. Apart from that the NILIS research team conducted another three day workshop. On the First two days the research team visited each school and perused the students’ pre and post test marks, lesson plans, activity sheets, student work, and written reflections. In addition, discussions were held with each school principal, teacher, school librarian and the students participating in the research. On the final day writing an action research report was introduced. After conducting the action research, each school submitted its report to the National Institute of Library & Information Sciences (NILIS) and the Director of the Zonal Education Office, Monaragala. On analyzing the reports, it was perceived that there was a considerable improvement between pre and post test marks in each school. The students’ reflections too elaborated the importance of this program for their future studies. In 2016 the Zonal Education office conducted a two day conference for all advanced level school teachers, and school librarians in the Monaragala District promote this program as a solution for the problem.

Authors: Dukic Zvjezdana , Tam Annie
Published: October 2019

The study explores the role of mobile technologies in school librarians‟ daily work and professional learning and development. The aim of the study is to examine how school librarians search, access, use and share information via their smartphones, what smartphone functionalities they use for these purposes, and what apps and social media are most frequently used. The study is based on empirical research conducted on a sample of school librarians/teacher librarians in Australia, Hong Kong and United Kingdom. Data were collected with online survey. The major finding of this study is that school librarians in Australia and Hong Kong widely use smartphone technologies for their daily needs and for professional work and learning. Various smartphone functionalities tools are used to satisfy these varied needs. Also school librarians from Hong Kong use various smartphone functionalities more frequently than study participants from Australia and UK. Barriers to smartphone use are also discussed but it seems that they do not detract school librarians from using smartphone technologies for their daily professional activities.

School libraries as power-houses of empathy: People for loan in The Human Library
Authors: Brown Deborah
Published: October 2019

The capacity of literary fiction to foster the trait of empathy in readers has received significant recent coverage in popular and academic literature (see for example, Gavigan & Kurtts 2011). School libraries, through their natural connection to storytelling in all its forms, can help foster a culture of empathy and respect, and can play an active role in promoting tolerance within the school community. This paper will focus on the worldwide movement known as The Human Library, which aims to “challenge prejudice through conversation” (Human Library UK 2016a). The Human Library reimagines the concept of a reader opening a book and looking at life through the eyes of ‘the other’ as they turn the pages, by replacing physical books with ‘living books’: people from all walks of life who volunteer to be ‘borrowed’ by a ‘reader’ for a conversation. Through respectful dialogue, stereotypes can be broken down and empathy can replace stigmatization. This paper will focus on how any school can host a Human Library to build a culture that celebrates, rather than fears, diversity and difference.

Authors: W. Bernard (Bill) Lukenbill
Published: October 2019

Discusses the American Broadway musical as performed in American high schools and concentrates on prosocial behaviors that are featured in these musicals and available in digital formats. The paper describes prosocial behaviors as “[...] a broad range of actions intended to benefit one or more people other than oneself – behaviors such as helping, comforting, sharing and cooperation.” Prosocial behavior can also be understood as “[...] a type of helping behavior [extended to others] that ultimately confers some benefits to the self.” This paper expands on these descriptions to include the following: acceptance of self and others; honoring commitments; appreciation of diversity; deciding on a direction in life; recognizing oppression, prejudice, and stereotyping; appreciation of self-awareness; and comfort with self-expression (Cherry). This paper explores how musicals can be used in the classroom to encourage prosocial behaviors among youth.

Do You Know Unique Engagement As ‘ Teacher Librarian (TL) ’ ? ～ The Case Study of Specialty Only TL Can Have
Authors: Arai Chizuko
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specialty of the “Teacher Librarian (TL).” A TL in Japan is expected to cover both “teaching duties” and “librarian duties.”, because most teachers generally have various complex duties centered on teaching subjects to caring students. In order to examine the duties of the TL and its specialty, it was done by observation and an interview with one TL in a public junior high school, and three coding categories were defined. The study showed that a TL offers a “cosy corner,” like in the book Matilda by Roald Dahl, which is a caring place where students can go. This place plays an important role for students and is a place to visit easily during break time, when some students feel that they are having difficulty in the classroom, and when they are not familiar with the reading.

School-Based Brazilian Librarianship: The Ruling Relations That Inform Its Professional Practice
Authors: Johnston Melissa P. , Santos Green Lucy
Published: October 2019

The need to equip today’s youth with complex information literacy and knowledge construction skills is a catalyst for change in the traditional practices of school librarians the world over. This necessary change led us to explore school library practices through a global lens. Creating innovative research partnerships with school librarians in other countries provides a space for inquiry that identifies barriers (as well as potential solutions to these barriers) to professional preparation of school librarians for the digital age. This research inquires “what are the similarities in the experiences and practices of school librarians across international boundaries in efforts to meet the needs of 21st century learners?” and more specifically “how do ruling relations impact and shape the experiences and practices of school librarians in Brazil?” Institutional Ethnography methodology is utilized to gain insight into the actualities of professional work lives, while examining the ruling relations that impact the institution. This paper presents findings from phase two of a study on school librarianship, conducted in the fall of 2015 in the State of Pará, Northwest Brazil.

Authors: Imai Fukuji , McKnight Anne , Tabata Kuniharu , Iwamasa Shinji
Published: October 2019

Metadata encodes important knowledge for school library education. This study framed two questions: 1. How are metadata treated in teacher librarian textbooks? 2. What teaching materials are best for teacher librarians’ metadata education? To answer question one, we investigated the regulation of subject and content by Ministry of Education in Japan and we reviewed teacher librarian textbooks. To answer question two, we created an environmental studies database that included geographical metadata, and then surveyed undergraduate students to learn how the database was utilized. In conclusion, we recommend that future studies of metadata examine both how metadata are defined and how metadata are used in particular situations.

Published: October 2019

Today’s society is described as a digital society or information society (Burke, 2012; Guribye, 2005; Warschauer & Matuchniak, 2010). This change has influenced all parts of society. In the digital society gaps have arisen. In the beginning it was mostly about who had access to digital technology and who had not. Today it is talked about “a second digital divide”, also embracing student ability to use digital resources support net. School’s compensational mission becomes an important part in this context (Warschauer, 2010; Warschauer, 2002). This paper will present a process of development, successful in our school; a cooperation between Pedagogical centre, teachers and management.

Empowering School Libraries through International Projects
Authors: Mota Cláudia Sousa , Francisco Bernardete
Published: October 2019

School libraries have no limits, no boundaries, not even for those in rural areas, where cultural opportunities are scarce. In such cases, school libraries themselves become THE opportunities, THE hearts/souls of institutions, HOME for students and teachers engaged in a major journey with other European fellows. This is the story of “Yourope: You in Europe”, an Erasmus KA2 project, which, dear reader, you are about to get familiar with.

By enrolling in international projects, you empower your school library and leave traces in your institution and in the citizenship sense of students. The use of the English language comes in a natural way; new ICT tools are used not as an end in themselves, but as a means to achieve certain purposes; the school library resources become fundamental to accomplish the planned tasks. Why did we choose the theme “Europe”? As we will explain in this article… because Europe is all about you and me, and not somebody else.

School library educators at two university locations in North Texas collaborated on a research initiative to address the perceived need for data literacy preparation at the pre-service level. The research initiative explored the potential for school librarians to provide data literacy leadership through the systematic development of competencies in the master’s-level pre-service professional preparation program. Participants from various school levels operated as a focus group in the fall of 2018 to identify competencies necessary for library professionals to develop as part of a pre-service training program. The answers to the nine key questions are presented as participant data related to data-informed decision-making in schools.

Librarians are re-discovering themselves in many functions that connects them to library users by playing critical roles in supporting the users. Investigating how librarians will help their users is now significant to school library services. This is a comparative study carried out in Nigeria and Indonesia to find out roles of librarians towards helping hurting library users.

The study investigates if librarians are aware of issues that makes their users hurts emotionally and if there are specific activities that are created in the libraries to enhance  users’ well-being. The librarians in these two countries were asked if they use readers’ advisory to recommend literature that could help users that are hurting. This study also examines wether librarians in these countries understands the concept of bibliotherapy.

Every librarian has the potential to help hurting library users once they recognise the efficacy of using the appropriate book to help. The 21st century library professionals need to learn more about their potentials to help and comfort users in the library space.
Motivating Teachers to Use the School Library

Published: October 2019

The participants will be introduced with several procedures a school librarian can motivate teachers to use the school library. Some of the procedures can be applied globally in all school libraries, while others are specific to Croatia, or countries with a similar education system.

Teachers are not the most numerous, but they are the most important users of school library. When teachers support the work of school librarian, he or she can fully accomplish his or her mission. If the support from teachers is missing, school librarian can employ different strategies to motivate students to use the school library, but only with a limited success. In order to motivate teachers to use the school library and to encourage the cooperation between them, the school librarian and the teachers, the librarian can initiate several activities, some of which are to be presented. The inspiration for these activities was James Henri’s presentation at the IASL conference in Italy in 2009.
Through the looking glass… into wonderland and beyond!

Published: October 2019

For school libraries to thrive they need to be reimaged often and well. Without vision we walk in darkness and eventually our libraries will become irrelevant and die. With a strong vision, careful planning, hard work, passion, perseverance and determination we can all transform our libraries into exciting learning places now and for the future … and we can do it on a shoestring! This presentation follows the transformational journey of one school library, outlines the steps taken and shares the impact this has had on the positive, engaging learning culture of the school.
Heat loss from hot water flowing in a copper pipe insulated using air enclosed with a PVC pipe

This paper presents investigations of heat loss from hot water flowing in an insulated copper pipe. Investigations were performed to know the heat loss from a copper pipe insulated using air enclosed with a PVC pipe. The fluid temperature used was kept at approximately 75°C in the entrance and its mass flow rate was around 12 g/s. The nominal copper pipe diameter was 6.35 mm; while the diameters of the PVC pipe were ranging from 12.7 mm to 5.08 mm. The length of the test section was approximately 3000 mm. The results show that the biggest heat loss is found using the bare copper pipe. When the copper pipe is insulated using air enclosed with a PVC pipe, the heat loss decreases with the increased PVC pipe diameters. The trend of the heat loss agrees with the critical insulation diameter theory.
Improving the surface hardness number of subsoil plow chisel using water-jet preening
Authors: Sujita S.
Published: October 2019

This study discusses the effects of pressure in waterjet peening (WJP)  of subsoil plow chise. It was made from austenitic stainless steel 301 JIS standard S30100. Analysis of surface integrity and change of surface hardness number is used to evaluate the performance of various parameters in the WJP process. The article summarizes information about austenitic stainless steel physically-mechanical of subsoil plow chisel that is most useful for soil tillage. The subsoil chisel was given surface treatment WJP process with a variation of pressure and time. The physical properties of subsoil plow chisel from various pressure and time of  WJP are analyzed. The findings of this study indicated that surface treatment with waterjet peening could  increase the surface hardness number and the hardening  layer fromaustenitic  stainless steel 301 (material of subsoil plow chisel).Treats the surface with WJP pressure 250 MPa  and time 3 hours  results in a higher increase in surface hardness number  up to 41% and 151% greater than the raw material respectively. Also, a deeper hardening layer to depth 250 and 500 μm each produced. Next, the cross-sectional micro structure shows the density is higher than the slip band in the defective grain of specimens that have undergone the WJP process at the time and higher pressure. However, the number of slip bands in grain defects decreases with     the pressure drop.

Adhesive joints are widely used in automotive industry and shipping industry. Efforts to increase the strength of the connection are still underway. This study aims to determine the effect of the amount of indentation on shear strength on low carbon steel joints and the failure mode when the number of indents is different. The connection was made of low carbon steel with epoxy adhesive as adhesive and adhesive thickness of 0.3 mm. The number of indents varied; with and without indentations 4, 9, 16, and 25 respectively. The indentation process was made by using pillar drilling with 1.5 mm diameter of drill bit. From the results, the specimen without indentation had highest shear strength was about 22 MPa. Connection strength tended to decrease with increasing indentation. By finite element modeling, the distribution of shear stress tended to be uniform without indentation, and the stress at the end of the connection for indented connections was higher than without indentation.
