The Janesville Public Library, originally was constructed in 1964 to meet the needs of a growing community. The newly constructed 41,000-square-foot building, located at 316 S. Main Street, would cost nearly $8 million to complete. Don and Gerry Hedberg would donate in total $4.66 million, while the rest of the capital came from local businesses and taxpayers. Because of the generous donation from Don and Gerry, the library officially changed its name to the Hedberg Public Library (Hedberg Public Library). The next major construction project would occur in 1994 when the building underwent exterior and interior changes. The exterior renovations included more windows around the building. The interior renovations included the elimination of certain

As a marketing intern for the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, I have been assigned to monitor and collect data from the social media accounts. I had to figure out which marketing campaign was successful and unsuccessful. I had to look at various categories of data such as the number of views, shares, likes, and clicks. Also, the museum gives surveys to its visitors and I had to sort the survey in an excel document by good and bad data. If the survey was incomplete or didn’t give enough information then it was considered bad data. I had to ensure every number and response going into the main system was correct to get an accurate result.

Some people may say that old buildings are just a waste of space. That select group of people have not seen the magic of turning an eyesore of a building into a true masterpiece. This magic has occurred to the Connellee Hotel in Eastland, Texas. The transformation from an abandoned hotel that was opened back in the late 1920’s to the center that now holds banquets, proms, and weddings is truly astonishing and should be appreciated. The Connellee Hotel is a perfect example of why old buildings should be preserved and not destroyed.
The King County Library System is the fifth largest library system in circulation in the United States. The current director of the KCLS, Bill Ptacek, started with the organization three years ago and is in the process of working towards a new strategic plan titled "The Year 2000 Plan, which has a long-term goal of integrating all the resources of the library system equally and to coordinate all the efforts to ensure it was providing the best possible service to the community. In the three years, Ptacek worked to expand the mission to cover services for the community to include children, life-long learning, career development, and literacy (Chell, 1996, pg.2). The reworking of the mission and services of KCLS was in full swing, but there were
In the article “The Library Card,” Richard Wright, a black writer in America, who was born in a plantation in Natchez Mississippi, but loves reading and desires knowledge. Once Richard was reading a newspaper “The American Mercury”, the article is written by H.L.Mencken. In this article, Mencken was being abuse by white man. Richard was shock because he thinks that only black people were hated. The article was a furious denunciation of Mencken. Therefore, Richard becomes more interested about Mencken. He reads books that write by Mencken. However, in that society, blacks was not allowed to read books. Fortunately, an Irish Catholic, Falk, who was also hated by white Southerners, he knows that Richard desires to read, so Falk borrows the library

The internal side of the house was renovated in line with the other side, showing the combination between the old and new elements. Even though Gehry didn’t change the basic plan of the house, it seems that the external complexity still can be f...
Expansion of the school, changes in institutional policy, and excellence in athletics and academics from the hard work of several notable individuals helped to form the rich history and tradition ingrained into UNC. However, the opening of the Davis Library is the main event because The Walter Royal Davis Library is the central library for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, it is the primary resource for all students, and was completed after a lengthy transition in February of 1984 (Bradsher, 1983, 3). The changes that came along with this move, brought upon difficulties for the university employees, the students and faculty requiring library resources, and student relations, specifically between undergraduate and graduate students.
On 13rd of October, at 3:57p.m., I found a seat next to the ceiling window on the ground floor in the San Diego Public Library and started my observation. The whole floor is surrounded by the ceiling windows which allow the allow luminance of sunlight to shine deeply into the library. My location was facing both the children’s library and the area which serves a branch of CD and DVDs. On that day, the library was also holding a mini exhibition names as the “Guardian Spirit Sacred Sculpture from the Continent of African”. Even though there are three wooden bookshelfs displayed orderly between my location and the children library, I can still clearly observe my target who is located in the children library.
Classification systems are available for new building and major renovations as well as existing buildings.
The renovation, which is expected to take eight years to complete, is expected to increase
I am proposing for a library to be put into the Exton campus of Delaware County Community College. There is currently not a library at this location. In order to have the use of a campus library we must go to the main campus of the college, which is approximately thirty to forty minutes from the Exton location. There are many students that go the Exton campus throughout the year and take a variety of courses. Many of these courses require at least some time spent in the library to write papers, to do research, etc. Not everyone has the time to drive to main campus to use the library so I am proposing for one to be added to the Exton location. The Downingtown campus can use the library as well because it is relatively close. It only seems logical to add a library to a college campus because not only does it make it easier to students to complete their assignments but it also promotes learning. A library is necessary in order to learn. There are many materials in a library that people do not have access to at home.
Abstract. Library 2.0 consists of many applications which are based from the Web 2.0 application and tools. There are many Library 2.0 tools that can be applied in academic libraries and the use of Library 2.0 tools are varying according to its function which can benefit the academic libraries. The objective of this study is to investigate whether librarians in academic libraries are practising Library 2.0, their awareness level, use of Library 2.0 in their organisation, their acceptance toward Library 2.0 application in their organisation and to access if they face problems in using Library 2.0. The study will use quantitative approach which involves librarians from three academic university libraries. The result of this study will provide a significant view of academic librarian’s perception relating to Library 2.0 implementation which is useful for academic library future improvement.
The definition of digital library is a collection of services and the collection of information objects that support users in dealing with information objects. The organization and presentation of those objects are available directly or indirectly either via electronic or in digital ways. An informal definition of a digital library is a managed collection of information with associated services, where the information is stored in digital formats and accessible over a network. The same data, when organized systematically it becomes a digital library collection. Digital libraries contain diverse information for use by many different users. Digital libraries range in size from tiny to huge. They can use any
Digital library refers to an electronic library in which collections are stored in electronic media formats as opposed print, microform, or other media and accessible via computers. One of the biggest areas for hardware and software development outside the traditional ILS, digital content management for libraries present itself as the newest moving target in library automation. Sometimes as simple as scanning a document for electronic course reverse, or as complex as state-of-the-art digital management, access, and preservations, the digital library movement is probably the most perplexing and promising development for libraries since library automation began almost seven decades ago. Though this subject is worthy of its own textbook , but its ironically, the paper library on digital libraries is a growing one. The more humble the aim of this work is to put digital libraries in the context of library-vendor and library-dot-com relationships.
