Technically Involved
"Instead of creating programs for teens, author and YA/technology advocate Linda Braun advocates working with teens to create library technology-related projects for them - and others. Technically Involved outlines some proven ideas to invite participation and channel teen interest in technology, giving teens an opportunity to serve their community." "Explaining how and why to integrate technology into youth participation projects, Braun illustrates how libraries can open up possibilities for teens to initiate and develop activities on their own. Specific program suggestions and appendixes provide details to involve teens at every step of the process and identify activities that meet teens' developmental needs. Filled with success stories, examples, and a wealth of potential teen-library technology programs, Technically Involved gives librarians a proactive tool for harnessing teen energy with technology for the library."--BOOK JACKET.

Covering Canadian Crime
Crime reporting, in one form or another, is as old as crime itself. Almost all young reporters have spent some time on this beat, and their work affects all of us. Covering Canadian Crime offers a deep and detailed look at perennial issues in crime reporting and how changes in technology, business practices, and professional ethics are affecting today's crime coverage. Social media in the courtroom, the stigmatization of mental illness, the influence of police media units, the practice of knocking on victims' doors, the culture of masculinity in the newsroom: these are among the topics of discussion, explored from various disciplinary perspectives and combined with poignant interviews and thought-provoking introspection from seasoned journalists such as Christie Blatchford, Timothy Appleby, Linden MacIntyre, Kim Bolan, and Peter Edwards. A critical account of the challenges involved in crime reporting in ethical, informed, and powerful ways, Covering Canadian Crime poses the questions that reporters, journalism students, and the public at large need to ask and to answer.
Summary of Stevie Cameron's On the Farm
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On February 23, 1995, Bill Wilson, who made his living as a woodcarver and handyman, was on his way to get some water from a narrow slough that ran along the south side of the Lougheed Highway, close to the mouth of the Stave River. He spotted a human skull about forty or fifty feet away. #2 The skull was sent to Corporal Tim Sleigh, a young detective in the RCMP’s Investigative Section in Vancouver. He was intrigued by the skull, which looked as if it had been cut in half with an electric saw. #3 The skull of the woman was sent to Tracy Rogers, a forensic anthropologist at the University of Toronto, who was able to reconstruct her face. No one was reported missing who matched her description, though, so she remained Jane Doe for years. #4 The Pickton brothers, among their many interests, were in the dirt-moving business. Their shabby white clapboard farmhouse needed painting and repair, and the wooden outbuildings seemed on the verge of collapse. The family attended church services at St. Catherine’s Anglican Church in Port Coquitlam.
