Visiting Subject Librarian William Dansoh from the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Edgwood Library in South Africa sits down with Fred to talk about his time at ASU. William visited Arizona as a participant in a librarian exchange program that is part of the Carnegie Corporation sponsored Research Libraries Consortium project. The purpose of this project is to obtain insights into research libraries within the United States, especially focusing on how academic librarians collaborate with and support research faculty and post-graduate students. William also expressed an interest in seeing how technology supports research in the libraries.
During the discussion we will learn how William was selected for the internship, what he hoped to learn, his internship experiences, and a comparison between research libraries in the United States and South Africa.

Running Time: 12:19
Host Fred McIlvain welcomes special guest Dr. Ann Dutton Ewbank, Education Liason Librarian, to talk about being named one of fifty Library Journal ”Movers and Shakers.” She is joined by Jennifer Duvernay, ASU Libraries Marketing and Outreach Officer, also named a Mover and Shaker in 2005, who reflects on the significance of this honor.
Ann talks about her continued work to promote and educate the public, especially lawmakers, on the value of teacher-librarians in K-12 schools. Ann is a founding member of Fund Our Future Arizona which was originally organized in response to the proposal by Mesa Public School District to eliminate all certified teacher-librarian positions in the district, replacing them with lower qualified resource center specialists who would manage the library space and collections. Their well publicized initiative ultimately failed as the Mesa Public School District chose to continue with their planned budget reduction, but group’s goal to “to create strong school libraries for every child in the state” continues.

FORO began in 1989 at a local Arizona library conference where librarians from United States and Mexico discussed the need to create a network where they could meet and discuss issues of common interest while exchanging information and resources across borders.
The theme for this years conference is, “Bridging the Digital Divide-Crossing All Borders.” Each episode includes one of the three keynote speeches which address how libraries can facilitate access and exchange of information, resources, and culture through technology, “… crossing all borders.”
