Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I have a new laptop and I would like to put my itunes library on the laptop. I don’t want to use an ipod transfer cd or anything just a flash drive.

Well, I think you can use a flashdrive, but I am not sure. i used a backup device but it will probably be the same. First I went to my itunes and went under file then to library and then consolidadte library. then go to music and transfer to flashdrive. then on ur other laptop, click music and import then

where can i buy a library card catalog cabinet for storing CDs?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

i want to get a old school style library card catalog cabinet (a small 1) to store CDs/DVDs in where should i look?

I have seen these for purchase at both The Wireless catalogue (http://www.thewirelesscatalog.com/wireless/Item_Library-CD-Storage-Cabinet_HA2002G_ps_srm.html)

and Target ((http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-7072425-8909422?asin=B0001XR7E8&AFID=MSN&LNM=B0001XR7E8|Library_Style_Multimedia_Cabinet_-_Oak&ref=tgt_adv_XPSD0500))

But try asking a library if they have an old one as well! I imagine that many are moving to computers and might be "retiring" their card catalog holders.

What college/university has a library science program in Chicago?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

I work as a volunteer at a library and becoming more interested in becoming a librarian, either for a school or a public one. Can anyone who is a librarian tell me what school(s) I can attend on campus or online, and give me information I need to know in order to complete the program?

I also like to note I have not finish my degree (left college a few years ago) and probably have 50 credit hours left.

You’ll have to finish your bachelors degree first, because library science is a masters program. Here’s a list of ALA accredited programs – sorry, none in Chicago.

Are there any good public libraries in the Jersey City area?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

I am currently in school at Rutgers, and we have an amazing library network and resources. Unfortunately, I’ll be transferring out of this school for next semester. The closest library to my home is the Bayonne Public Library and quite frankly…it’s terrible. But because I am not a resident of NYC, I can’t take books out from the NY Public Library. Does anyone know of any decent public libraries in my general area where I can actually take out books?

Hey I am 14 and i looked up some locations of libraries for you. Here is a website were you can actually can find public libraries in New Jersey in you area.

How do you access your iTunes account library on a different computer?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

My family computer finally kicked the bucket, all of our iTunes music was on one library on that computer. Now I’m using a different computer. However now that I’ve accessed my account I can’t find my library. Does anyone know why I can’t find it and how to access it? And is it possible to take music from one iPod and copy it to another?

whatever was in the computer is not accessible now. bu whatever is on your ipods can be downloaded to the computer. ipod to ipod needs a pc in between.

How can I apply a type of a Philosophy to an educational article about libraries put on carts in schools?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I have to write a summary of an article called "Room for Readers" from the NEA magazine. It’s about how school libraries are losing ground and having to turn their libraries into carts, although research has proven that libraries and resourceful librarians improve student achievement. So the main thing I have to do, besides summarizing this article, is apply a philosophy, i.e. idealism, realism, etc., or an educational theory to this. Please help me out.

I read the article that you are referring to. Research has demonstrated that students achieve more in schools with libraries staffed by library professionals. Nevertheless, a well-staffed and equipped school library is vulnerable when facilities and/or funds are limited in a school district. I think this is an example of pragmatism on the part of the school board and administration. When funds and resources are limited, the school library often appears at or near the top of the list of things that they think they can do without. If enrollment is increasing (but the building size isn’t) they see the need for a classroom so "let’s take the library". Or, they need to cut the budget and maybe cut staff, so "let’s lay off the certified librarian and hire a clerk or an aide at 1/3 the cost". This is what is happening. It’s also happening to guidance counselors, art and music programs, school nurses, and even to sports programs (believe it or not!).

How can I find out the value of Franklin Library books?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The books look to have the gold trim pages. Dates range from 1979 to 1985. I have 18 books here are some of the title:

The Histories of Gargantua And Pantagruel, Michel De Montaigne Twenty-Nine Essays, The History of Tom Jones Selected Plays, Aristotle Rhetoric And On Poetics and many more…any ideas where to get them appraised or how to sell them?

Dealers offer these books for sale at $20-30 each, but they are really a drag on the market because there are so many of them. They look nice on the shelf, but they are not very salable. You might get $25-30 for all 18 of them, but I suspect you’ll have a hard time selling.

Franklin Library books signed by the authors–Philip Roth, John Updike, Muriel Spark, and so on–have more value, so if any of the titles have a tipped in page with a signature, you’ll have a $20-40 book depending on which one it is.
