New Frontiers In Christian Fiction, Leanne Hardy
New Frontiers In Christian Fiction, Leanne Hardy
The Christian Librarian
Christian fiction must strive for a new quality of writing and be willing to go beyond what is "safe" if it is going to have an impact outside the church. Although such fiction may include language and situations that are not acceptable among Christians, it will glorify God by presenting the world as he sees it and grappling with deep spiritual issues rather than using cliches to brush over them. Librarians should support quality Christian fiction by purchasing it, recommending it and praying for those in the publishing industry.

Strategies For Managing An Aging Workforce, Marie F. Jones

The article dispels some negative stereotypes of "the older worker" and shows the advantages of retaining individuals with experience and maturity. It also addresses organizational climate, management, and training issues related to older workers.
The Great Leveler: Free Business Resources On The World Wide Web, Jason Martin
The Great Leveler: Free Business Resources On The World Wide Web, Jason Martin
The Southeastern Librarian
The Internet is full of reliable sources that are filled with a wealth of business information. Some of these sites are fee-based with subscription prices that are much lower than those of the large commercial databases. Unfortunately, only a single subscriber may use most of those fee-based sites. That means the librarian must turn to sites that are free to the general public. Many of these free sites rival fee-based services for quality and quantity of information.

Collegiality: An Atmosphere For Expanding Intellectual Stimulation, Tami Echavarria Robinson
Collegiality: An Atmosphere For Expanding Intellectual Stimulation, Tami Echavarria Robinson
The Christian Librarian
Libraries are the arena where intellectual interaction takes place through the universal conversation of scholarship. Librarians share a common commitment to learning and service. In addition Christian librarians share a calling to knowledge and service that comes from the Holy Scriptures. Aspects of integrating our Christian faith, through the professional environment we create in our workplace, are considered. Collegiality as the means to achieve a productive library ambience for scholarship is suggested. When a Library has an atmosphere conducive to promoting learning it is a place of intellectual stimulation where the culture is collegial and the values of Christianity are …
