How many of you know about and have read Asian Pacific Post, a free bi-weekly newspaper. I am a regular reader of it because it focuses on what is happening in the Pacific Asia and the Asian community in Canada. Its March 23, 2006 issue carried an editorial entitled What has happened to the Taiwan […]

美国的儿童书市活跃，奖项繁多。其中Randolph Caldecott Medal 既悠久又具影响力。它始于1937年，从每年的大量儿童图画书中，选出插图最具创意的，授予奖章。家住纽约的David Wiesner 作品曾是我家读者的最爱，他已三次获Caldecott殊荣，成了大赢家。他的书有种严肃的幽默，给不太识字的孩子插上了想像的翅膀，又不会失去天真和童趣。例如1992年的TUESDAY . 星期二晚上八点，宁静的池塘发生了骚动。乌龟和鱼儿惊奇地发现青蛙们乘坐着荷叶腾空而起。它们和鸟儿玩耍、与狗儿追逐、飞进民宅、逛遍了小城、、、又是一个星期二晚上，跃上柳梢头的是小胖猪们、、、此书几乎没有什么文字，图象滑稽，却有比电影还要生动的效果。去年David又以寓言故事“三只小猪”取胜。小猪们不仅没被狼吃掉，而且这回是坐着纸飞机展开新的梦幻旅程。 以下几部作品也极具创意，成了西方儿童读物中的至爱。 2000 Joseph had a little overcoat / by Simms Taback Joseph总是能发挥自己的想象将旧的东西赋予新的生命。他将老旧的大衣改成夹克；夹克旧了他改成马甲；马甲又成、、、、。在一无所有的时候他又将此经历制作成书。此书设计巧妙，前页被剪掉的一小块翻页后正好成为改良后的新产品，富于创造的乐趣。 1999 Snowflake Bentley / by Jacqueline B. Martin 中国崇尚铁杵成针、水滴穿石的毅力，西方文化也同样。Willie喜欢看雪花飘落在他的手套上，他说雪花和蝴蝶、苹果花一样美丽。当别的孩子在雪地玩耍时，他却喜欢在显微镜下观察雪花，并且尝试著画下这些美丽的图案，可每次没等画完雪花便融化了。他年复一年、一次又一次地偿试，终于用最早的像机拍摄到了雪花的结构图。Willie将他毕生的精力投入进去，最终成为雪花专家。后人满怀崇敬地为他树碑立传。 1996 Officer Buckle and Gloria / by Peggy Rathmann 警官Buckle的职责是宣讲安全条例。当他做示范时，学生们个个哈欠连天什么都没听进去。一天，他带上警犬Gloria再到学校讲安全规则，台下掌声雷动。受欢迎的是Buckle警官呢？还是警犬Gloria？这本乍看滑稽的书，却在讲安全常识的过程中，道出了合作的意义。 ALWAYS STICK WITH YOUR BUDDY! 1994 Grandfather’s Journey / by Allen Say 通过爷爷在美国及日本的生活经历，Allen向我们描述了一个移民家庭不可避免的文化冲击。当在一个国家时，却对另一个患上了相思病，总是希望自己能同时拥有它们。 1991 Black and […]

Collecting and preserving information on the Internet have always remained a daunting task for librarians. The massive and ephemeral nature of Internet has made it extremely difficult(if not impossible) to archive the information mounted on billions of websites. The good news is, the Library of Congress(LOC) has launched a new project “Web Capture” to attain […]
