This book, first published in 1949, grew out of a series of talks to young librarians preparing for the entrance exam of the Library Association, and the syllabus for this exam was used to provide section and chapter headings. The different types of library call for differing methods of administration, but there are certain essential principles common to all librarianship, which are here described.

CABBAGE LANGUAGE, the first book from Robert Duncan Gray, collects Gray's debut novella THE SON OF THE SUN with AMATEUR PORNOGRAPHY, a selection of the author's best poetic works from his career thus far. Born in England, raised in Germany, and then transplanted into America in his early teens, Robert Duncan Gray has taken his unique concept of identity and created the stunningly original character of Solomon Thunderbeast, the protagonist of THE SON OF THE SUN. In this fantastic novella we follow Solomon and a small group of people as they try to decide who they are in the wake of a vague tragedy, struggling greatly under the tyranny of The General, a petty Napoleonic man who has forced his way into a leadership role and since dominated this collection of lost souls. Equal parts funny, sad, and discomforting, THE SON OF THE SUN will burrow itself into your mind and stay with you for weeks to come. AMATEUR PORNOGRAPHY is a collection of poems that dares you to define it. Riding the line between sentimental and dismissive, these poems make friends of strangers and strangers out of friends, using loneliness and death to bring us together and prove we are alive. But really, they're just poems, so who cares, whatever. The fourth book from HOUSEFIRE Books, CABBAGE LANGUAGE is as refreshing as it is original, and a must-read for fans of flash novels.
This is a must read book for all action thriller enthusiasts. Based on true events and locations, this story uncovers and exposes a major and very real threat to the national security of Australia and other countries. A young government agent investigates a train accident and starts to uncover elements of a cover-up of a much larger and sinister plot which puts his life in danger as 'they' try to silence him. The non stop action takes him from Sydney to the deep outback and a strange old airforce base, then to Lithgow in the Blue Mountains before returning to Sydney for the heart stopping climax at the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. If he fails to stop them in time, millions of people are going to die a slow and painful death.

""There is a necessary balance between knowledge and knowing how
to find out - between having the key facts in your head, having the
understanding of how to use them, and having the skill to draw on
extra resources too. Information literacy is as important as
traditional reading literacy and it incorporates a wide range of
skills which are essential in the modern world. Many of the skills
already feature in the curriculum, though because they are not
usually brought together, too often there is no coherent approach
to how they are learned. They are relevant to every teacher and
every pupil; they feature in every curriculum subject; they are
cross-curricular in every sense - yet because they belong to
everyone they are owned by no-one."" This fascinating and innovative book contains a variety of strategies to help teachers develop students' information and literacy skills. Accessible and entertaining, Duncan Grey's superb guide brims with practical strategies and lesson ideas to help every student to answer every question
Every teacher benefits from advice. Sometimes you walk into a situation where, as an adult professional amongst children and young people, you are expected to resolve the problem. If you don't, you could be accused of neglect. If you resolve it inappropriately you could be accused of unprofessional behaviour. Non-teachers rarely appreciate how many personal interactions there are during a day - the vast majority of which are in public view and on which you will be judged. First Aid is sensible action for anyone who is on the spot when a problem occurs. It offers considered advice when you don't have the time to consider all the options. It tries to give helpful advice on preventing the problem getting worse and starting things on the road to recovery. It offers reassurance when everyone else is panicking. It may also cover your back. Duncan Grey.
