Judith Anne Sykes

Libraries Unlimited, 2005

Good, but different for U.S. School Libraries, & No Pics
Just started the book and looks good! However, the author repeatedly uses the term "teacher-librarian", while the fact is that "teacher-librarians" are used less and less in the U.S., except High School level. I am assuming that since the author is Canadian she simply didn't know this. In many states, such as mine, you find "library media paraprofessionals", "library assistants", etc. working ...

I had already read Snowden's "Aging with Grace: The Nuns Study" which Shimer uses as documentation to clear mercury. I have also read Boyd Haley's work linking mercury with Alzheimer's. Since Haley and Snowden are both working at University of Kentucky in ...
