The 1996 Caldecott Committee chairperson surveys seven trends in children's book illustration: collage, layers, whimsy, ethnic art, texture, borders and panels, and shapes and perspective.

10. Older women on the U.S.-Mexico border: exploring the health of Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites

Author

Zunker, Christie, Rutt, Candace, and Cummins, Julie

Subjects
Aged women -- Health aspects, Hispanic Americans -- Health aspects, Seniors, Women's issues/gender studies
Abstract

Research on ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) suggests that Hispanics are more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to experience poverty and low levels of education, which may relate to poorer health status. This study used a health survey to examine income, education, ethnicity, birthplace, and age on self-reported health factors of women age 60 and older on the U.S.-Mexico border. Results show that income, age, and education were significantly associated with several health factors (Physical Health, Emotional Health, General Health, Energy Level, and Activity Potential). Older women with lower SES, regardless of ethnicity, reported poorer health than younger-old women with higher SES. KEYWORDS. Hispanic, U.S.-Mexico, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health

18. Standards for Youth Services in Public Libraries of New York State.

Author

New York Library Association, New York. and Cummins, Julie

Abstract

This guide is designed to assist librarians and administrators both in assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their public library service to youth and in making immediate and long range plans to reach desired goals. The standards provide a basis for understanding the scope and purpose of youth services. A philosophical statement on service precedes guidelines on materials collections, services, and facilities for both children and young adults. Specifics on collection size, reference services, programming, and working with community agencies are included. Combined sections for both children and young adult specialities cover staffing and management, budget preparation, goals and objectives, professional development, and involvement with associations. The final section focuses on the role of the specialist, emphasizing that library service to youth is the cornerstone of the public library profession. Appendices include statements on competencies for serving youth, restricted access to library materials, and free access to libraries for minors. (Author/THC)
