With topics that emphasize student success, leadership, partnerships, curriculum design, collaborative planning and teaching, literacy, 21st century skills, emerging technologies, and so much more, this compendium brings together the best of the best discussions. The practicing teacher-librarian, as well as the student seeking to expand his or her knowledge of the field, will find this compilation especially beneficial in providing an overview of the most critical issues related to the role the teacher-librarian plays in their school. The articles, previously published in the peer-reviewed Teacher Librarian: The Journal for School Library Professionals with several included from the magazine VOYA: Voice of Youth Advocates, reveal how school libraries and teacher-librarians are moving forward to meet the challenges of this new century.

Two authors with more than 40 years of combined library experience tap into their wealth of knowledge about discovery and user experience, sharing proven methods for setting up, promoting, and teaching their own discovery systems. Discovery systems are the new one-stop search model for libraries, but simply implementing the software doesn't ensure that it will meet your users' search needs. This book looks at how discovery systems are actually used by examining the findings of several user experience (UX) studies, providing data and observations that will inform your decisions about selecting, implementing, and enhancing this software. This book provides library practitioners who choose, administer, and interact with discovery systems with insight for establishing or fine-tuning a discovery system. You will understand how the use and effectiveness of the top discovery systems compare to more traditional databases and web resources, get insight into the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the best-selling discovery systems, and examine the UX research findings of the authors on student response and faculty response. You'll also learn about key configuration options that help or hinder search success with these systems and affect content selection, linking software setup, and interlibrary loan processes. The book concludes with recommended best practices for promoting discovery systems, including web design, placement on the library's website, getting coworkers on board, and PR ideas.

Three-wheelers kickstarted the cycling fad for women in the 1880s. Two-wheelers at the time were the old-time high-wheel “ordinaries” or “penny-farthings,” which were difficult for most women to mount and impossible to pedal in long dresses. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features 90 articles (148,000 words) from 1881 to 1888, when tricycles were the most popular mode of transportation for women (and many men) seeking independent mobility on wheels. Three-wheel designs varied greatly, from single operator to dual rider models, called “sociables” in which the riders sat side-by-side, and “tandems” with riders seated front and back. Wheel sizes and alignments also differed as manufacturers sought the most efficient mechanisms for pedaling, steering and braking. Early tricycles were heavy and cumbersome, weighing up to 100 pounds. The weight gradually decreased as manufacturing and metallurgical methods improved. The first 49 articles in this volume, span the heyday of tricycling, covering the lively debate over women's embrace of the wheel, proper riding attire, and adventures on the road. Contributors include the popular cycling writers Mary Sargent Hopkins and Minna Caroline Smith. Five diary-style entries follow, written by Amy Hurlston of England. The volume closes with an obscure column, “Woman on a Tricycle,” published in The Sunday Leader newspaper in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The anonymous author is a spirited iconoclast who challenged societal norms with unapologetic rebellion. She offers unfiltered regional observations on broader cultural issues as well as keen details about cycling. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.
