At first glance it seems hard to find any similarities between Lolita and The Great Gatsby. Finding similarity between two protagonists, Humbert Humbert and Jay Gatsby seems to be impossible task, but in reality there is a big factor connecting both of the characters. Humbert and Gatsby, both of them, met a girl in early years of their life and after that they were trying to attain these girls, the difference is minor- Jay Gatsby was trying to invade the heart of the same women, while Humbert was
At first glance, one might find it difficult to draw comparisons between the two protagonists: James Gatsby, from The Great Gatsby, and Humbert Humbert, from Lolita. Gatsby’s is the tragic story of a self-made man who built himself an empire for a woman who would never love him.

However, in today's society, technology has replaced those resources with a much faster way to get the job done. One issue that arises with modern technology is the impact it has on items and ideas of the past such as public libraries. Although many think the era of public libraries is coming to an end, I believe that this is an opportunity for public libraries to become more prevalent in our

A History of the Dewey Decimal System The history of the Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) hearkens back to the very beginning of the modern library movement in the nineteenth century.

Annoying is the blasting sounds of music or the loud conversations people have when they are on their cell phones. It seems as though most of us cannot function without them, since we use them in our everyday routine with friends, family, social media and business. Cell phones have become a growing trend amongst young school children and adolescents, so it is no surprise that they want the freedom to use them in public schools. However, cell phones have no place in the classroom. The usage of cell
Traditionally historians have acquired their data by visiting libraries and archive collections. On visiting these libraries and archives to carry out their research, the first port of call for most historians upon arrival was usually to seek assistance from the librarian or the archivist, who in turn referred them to a card index or printed guide (Organ et al, 1996). However over the last twenty to thirty years the world has experienced the internet revolution. In this essay we will discuss how

Technology has also changed our pace and perspective on education. Students previously would have to go to libraries and spend a lot of time researching to find out information for class assignments, but with technology students can find almost anything on their home computers and by accessing the internet. Technology has definitely become the authoritative factor

I worked in the Gardener Main Stacks located in the Doe Library of UC Berkeley for nearly three years and in that time I eventually was one of a group of student supervisors, so I have some experience being managed and as manager (though in a somewhat limited scope).

Libraries and archives in developed countries play very significant roles in advancing information industry to encourage learning throughout their life and contributing to establish healthier and happiness communities. They are no longer passive keepers and preservers of books rather, they have evolved to become facilitators of information and lifelong learning opportunities with an emphasis on service, identifying user needs and communicating solutions.

majority of people. Though it may be true that some of the work recently produced has been offensive to a large number of people, it is not a reason to remove a very useful government program. The NEA provides jobs, funds programs for museum s and libraries, helps to educate the public, and helps generate economic activity. Instead of entirely cutting off the funding for such a useful program perhaps the federal government could look into reevaluating the budget and changing the spending policies of

As digital natives grow older and technology improves it makes one wonder what the fate of libraries will be. Long gone are the days of the card catalog, with computers taking their place. There is no more browsing the stacks for books on what ever subject has peaked interest, because the Dewey decimal system is no longer taught. Gone are the days of shelves of books as far as you can see, taken away to make room for endless banks of computers, movies and cd's. The click of keys and chatter from
