  stacked Emergency Librarian, celebrating the history of a radical feminist Canadian periodical
In 1973, Sherrill Cheda, Phyllis Yaffe and Barbara Clubb thought it was odd that most librarians were women, but most people who ran libraries were men. They decided to publish something that would take women seriously. Women who were speaking truths that had never been aired. In Emergency...... [view]

  fundraising campaign and branding in the North
Since fundraising has not been going well, I decided to take a completely different approach than what I had been doing before. There are a lot of programs here that require funding so my challenge has been how to put this issue on the map. I’ve racked my brain and have turned to the...... [view]

  “school libraries work”
That’s been one of my mottos these past few weeks. I’ve been busy trying to speak with organizations in town about the school library and I’m hoping that my efforts here will help convince the powers that be that the school needs a librarian. I’m finding one of the...... [view]

  gratitude
This past week, I have been trying to raise the profile of our library project via the Amazon wishlist and things have picked up momentum a lot faster than I anticipated.  CBC North  was interested in the story, so you might hear me speaking about the project on The Trailbreaker news and......

  literacy levels
Information literacy is something I take great interest in and it wasn’t until I came up north that I began to think of this type of literacy as having many tiers. For one thing, it never even occured to me that before one can become “information literate” one must be...... [view]

  more than just a series of tubes
I’m writing from Fort McPherson, a small town (roughly 400 people) populated mostly by Gwich’in people. I’m making a very long day trip (7:00 am - 2:00 am) to obtain Gwich’in language materials for the school library. I’ve learned that the best way to get...... [view]

  2010 TIG Member Research Survey
Submitted By:   sean_k
Published:  2012-01-18 		  Description:   In June 2010, TakingITGlobal developed and launched a large‐scale survey of its global membership. Over the course of two weeks, the forty-five question survey yielded a sample of 3,338 complete interviews. Results from the survey suggest that involvement with TIG fosters three capacities taken to be core components of leadership, viz. (1) Issues awareness; (2) the ability to connect, collaborate and meaningfully contribute; and (3) the willingness to take responsibility through action. Following a discussion of literature relating the definitions of leadership, TIG’s relationship to each of these components will be explored through the 2010 survey data. Evidence from this data suggests that involvement with TIG yields positive increases among members which, taken together, support the claim that involvement with TIG fosters the development of leadership capacities among young people globally.
