The University of North Georgia, a recently consolidated university, has four libraries of varying sizes with different types of collections – ranging from libraries with larger sized book collections to libraries that rely on electronic resources. In addition to the differences in size and collections, the libraries also face the challenge of distance. This chapter follows the creation of an emergency plan, a recovery plan, and a continuity of operations plan for an academic library with four unique campus locations. The creation process begins with risk assessments of all four libraries, creating a team to write the plan, writing the plan and implementation and training for faculty and staff. The policies were written by a committee of five and included at least one representative from each campus.

Determining Factor

In the era of globalized knowledge and communication language economy has become important determining factor in the creation process of specialized texts. The language economy has to ensure effective communication and to reduce the cognitive effort required for a text reception and production. To optimize the communication process, a variety of measures have been developed to make text condensation possible. One of these measures are references in legal texts. The purpose of this paper is to present different types of references combined with the analysis of their text function and role in the process of text reception. By empirically examining of the selected examples from the German Criminal Code,we will examine whether the language economy always helps the reader to understand legal texts? Finally, our focus is on showing of the possible causes for the communication inefficiency of examined references.

The records on writer and historian Uldis Ģērmanis (1915–1997) at the Academic Library of the University of Latvia reveal the origins of the most important publications, as well as their resonance in the exile community and later also in Latvian society. The documents that can be found here and in other repositories allow following the creation of Uldis Ģērmanis’s works and their echoes in the exile community. The essay Latviešu strēlnieku vēsturiskā nozīme (The Historical Significance of Latvian Riflemen) written by Jukums Vācietis and commented by U. Ģērmanis that was published in the book Pa aizputinātām pēdām (1956) gave rise to intensive exchange of ideas for the opportunity to publish a text in exile written in the Soviet Russia and to the debates on the role of Latvian riflemen in the fight for the statehood of Latvia. Furthermore, the book by U. Ģērmanis Latviešu tautas piedzīvojumi (The Adventures of Latvian Nation, 1959) offers a new approach in attracting the interest of youth to the history of Latvia. The correspondence of U. Ģērmanis shows a dilemma of a Latvian intellectual between the desire to have an academic career and the necessity to get actively involved in the social life in exile. It shows the different opinions of U. Ģērmanis and other intellectuals in exile concerning the contacts of Latvian cultural and academic circles with the exile community that were controlled by the Soviet security institutions, which led to tensions in their relationship or even the loss of contact with several friends and colleagues of U. Ģērmanis. The research of the epistolary heritage of U. Ģērmanis attests to his long-term engagement in the creation of monthly magazine Brīvība, as well as provides so far unknown information about the circulation of information between Latvia and exile communities in the years of the Soviet occupation.

The Capability Approach

The pre-eminent motivation behind this contribution lies in the intention to offer students of three-year degree course in education and training sciences and master's degree in pedagogical sciences of the University of Macerata a further support than those already existing, aimed at expanding the educational meaningfulness of the internship experience. The main criticality of such experience is connected with the difficulty in translating knowledge, models, ideas into appropriate activities. This notably refers to the conceptual and educational core of the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship and, consistently, to the skill to act. Therefore, after a deepening of the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, followed by related pedagogical reflections based on the capability approach, the paper presents an operative proposal aimed at increasing young people's possibilities of action and supporting their personal and professional growth. With regard to this training proposal, the theoretical and methodological framework refers to the third generation cultural historical activity theory and to the tool of the boundary crossing laboratory, variant of the change laboratory

The present work is part of a research paper for which I extend my heartfelt thanks to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Valko Kanev. It examines some specifics of the artistic creation process that lead to the creation of one of the types of written student texts - the narration. Its variations - "narration by imagination" and "narration by set supports" are regulated in the new fifth grade curriculum. The requirements for writing a narration and the exemplary thematic curriculum of optional literature classes in the 7-tgrade have proven to be applicable in the literature education process.

The article is devoted to the study of evaluative tools used in modern French media in order to form the media image of a representative of the political elite. The techniques used in the creation of a memorial media portrait of Jacques Chirac (1932—2019), President of France from 1995 to 2007 are considered. The research material was the most prestigious French print media of various political orientations, published in late September — early October 2019 in connection with the death of the ex-President of the French Republic. The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the close attention of modern linguistics to axiological phenomena, differently presented in different types of discursive practices. The novelty of the study is due to the appeal to the analysis of the complex of evaluation tools used in the French print media when characterizing the former leader of the state during the nation’s farewell period. The estimated potential of the title of the article and its influence on the formation of the estimated vector of the entire text of the publication are shown. A systematic analysis of the assessment expression means, reflected in the memorial media portrait of the politician, is given. The factors that influenced the peculiarities of their use in this type of media portrait are revealed.

A demonstration vegetable garden was constructed for students in elementary, middle and high schools to expose them to agricultural science. On Charter Day, a University-wide celebration, students were invited to the garden on the University campus. The purpose of this project was twofold: (1) for participants to learn how to make a garden and (2) for visitors to see a variety of available crops and cultural techniques. Approximately 30 vegetable crops were grown. The garden also presented some cultural practices to improve plant development, which included weed control by solarization, mulching, a drip irrigation system, staking, shading and crop cover. Different types of compost bins were shown and various nitrogen-fixing legumes were displayed as useful hedge plants for the garden.
