http://k-review.com.tw/2009/09/01/820/
由出生在白山黑水的東北遼寧鐵嶺小西山，一個幾乎幾乎養不活的女娃兒，經歷家庭的波折遷徙，整個 國家遭逢近代歷史災難的日本侵略戰爭，以及後來自己民族的內部鬥爭，一路顛沛流離，最後以為是偶 然，卻就此長久落腳大海一隅的台灣，她建立起自己的家庭，走出一條文學教育上的道路。這一個漫長 血淚真實生命交織出的歷史故事，正是齊邦媛教授《巨流河》的主軸。 《巨流河》的書名，原是東北遼河在清朝的名字，齊邦媛用這個河流作為書名，緬懷她體內淌流著的東北 血液，也是紀念她的父親齊世英先生。齊世英是受到敬重的東北代表政治人物，中學曾在日本求學，後 又到德國留學兩年，回國後寄望以教育改造東北，拯救中國。一九二五年他參與郭松齡將軍請東北軍張 作霖元帥停戰下野的兵諫行動，「巨流河」一役功敗垂成，齊世英不但理想受挫，家人也離鄉徙置，那 一年齊邦媛才一歲。

Nazca lines
Foundations of new world cultural astronomy
(other chapters: Cuzco, Machu Picchu)
"Between the lines: reading the Nazca markings as rituals writ large" (p. 621)
2000 years ago, ritual observances;
the orientation of the lines suggests not a sky chart but a reflection of the concern of an agricultural people in a searing desert -- water;
signaled the direction of water flow; not astronomy related;
water is a central theme of lines, correlating the orientations of the lines with geographic rather than celestial benchmarks;
the hilly promontories, like the ridges on a drainboard, define the direction in which water flows as it cascades own the mountains and onto the pampa during the rare rainstorms;
Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe called the lines, reveals features characteristic of actual Andean roads, ceremonial roads 60 years ago
for aeons, strong, sand-bearing winds have scoured the face of the desert, leaving it paved with fist-size rocks brought down from the high Andes in ancient episodes flooding. recently it ws determinded that where the rocks are exposed to the sun, bacteria have deposited a patina of purplish iron and manganese oxides: desert varnish. but the underside of each rock and the soil below are light in color. strip off the surface rocks, and a bright mark is left on the desert for centuries. the dark rubble form the stipped earth can then become an outline for the figure; at Nazca each line or shape is edged by a rock berm as much as a yard high.

Conference Internet Librarian 2010
October 25 – 27, 2010
Monterey, CA

A103 – Search Discovery Tools
1:15 PM – 2:00 PM
Greg Notess, Reference Team Leader, Montana State University
The latest buzz word in metasearching of library resources is "discovery." Many libraries are moving to discovery tools like Summon, Primo, and World-Cat Local to enable easier and more comprehensive searching of library resources. Explore the current state of the art in these discovery tools, and discover where they work well along with their gaps and search failures.
D105 – Ninging It
3:15 PM – 4:00 PM
Miami University
How do you engage students with information literacy content throughout a 3-credit hour semester course? Six librarians teaching different sections of a course in the Interactive Media Studies department bypassed institution-supported course management software. Instead, instructors chose Ning, a free site that allows individuals to create public or private social networks. Content of each network was customized to meet each section’s individual learning outcomes. This presentation describes how instructors engaged students in information literacy concepts utilizing tools such as Twitter, RSS feeds, blogs, and podcasts via Ning. Speakers give specific examples of how the tools enhanced student learning, the lessons learned, and challenges faced along the way.
