2.) Maintaining libraries also allows librarians to help readers with any questions.

increase voter turnout by distributing election information and organizing discussion groups and other activities in public libraries.

As civic programs evolved in libraries, “the group setting offered an

experience of democracy as well as a consideration of it” (Preer 2001, p. 151). Just as important, libraries

defined themselves as community spaces where citizens were encouraged to discuss important matters."(AASCU)

hard to provide access to e-reading materials, as well as helping patrons enter into the e-reading

marketplace by exposing them to e-reading devices through lending and device petting zoos and helping

them leam to use new devices in classes and one-on-one sessions with librarians.”

Crandall said his study found that two-thirds of the library computer users asked a librarian for help in

using the technology. “The ability to use the new technology may seem intuitive to many” he said, “but

clearly for many others itis not, and resource that s able understand

how to use digital technology and information, and why they might want to use to improve the quality of

their lives is something that libraries have taken on as a transformation of their traditional mission.”(PBS)

Social connectivity has increased greatly and libraries have been responsible for developing a community like atmosphere for citizens and readers such as "Paws to Read summer challenge" and "Thursday Night Owl Story Time".(Orland Public Park)

Librarians have been the pinnacle of help for readers and citizens like "two-thirds of the library computer users asked a librarian for help" demonstrating the continued significance of librarians as a resource for furtherance of knowledge.

Bp2: Pennies and what they meant in the past. How digital currency and technological advances ruined the penny.

the United States. As rock solids as the presidential jaw of Abraham

Lincoln, which first appeared on it in 1909. Boston's own Paul Revere resident silversmith, supplied some

of the copper for those bygone pennies.

Now, everywhere you turn around town, the zinc-and-copper one-cent piece is taking it on the chin:

Shoved out of the economic picture by charge cards. Flung into the trash by people who think it's mucky

and worthless. Hijacked by cashiers who assume you're among the 27 percent of Americans who don't

even keep track of their loose change, according to a May 2005 survey conducted by Coinstar, providers

of the self-service machines that help convert coins into paper money."(The Boston Globe)

Source A: "New York—Almost a year has passed now since U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe made headines by introducing his

anti-penny bill, et these pesky one-cent coins continue to jingle uselessly in people's pockets. Can

nobody rid America of this copper-coated scourge?"(Forbes Magazine)

could be employed tracking

counterfeiters—go toward driving retailers crazy. They cost more in employee-hours—to wait for buyers to

fish them out, then to count, pack up and take them to the bank —than it would cost to toss them out.

That's why you see “penny cups” next to every cash register; they save the seller time and the buyer the

inconvenience of lugging around loose change that tears holes in pockets and now sets off alarms at

every frisking-place.

Bp2: internationally incompatible with other research due to the cost of trying to learn English

Source C: The speaker is at her college in Columbia, and because they were required to publish in Spanish, as an English speaker, she couldn't finish the publication because the mental pressure was too much.

Social media apps have provided a platform for this newer generation of students to communicate and as a result, can reveal a person's traits through their use. That is why "social media tools, like Facebook, Twitter and blogs, are key to communicating with this generation of students" who use the platforms frequently. (National Association for College Admissions Counseling)

Further validating the utilization of social media apps by employers and colleges, students themselves consider other ongoing uses of private information such as Advertising to be worse.

For Advertisers, "34% are somewhat concerned about its use to pitch products" in contrast to a noticeably lower "29%" for Colleges.

Since the one cent coin is at such a low value and digital exchanges of currency are more cost effective and popular, pennies "continue to jingle uselessly in people's pockets" as they are easily replaced with digital transactions.(Forbes Magazine)

The penny has become less and less relevant as a result of many factors but one of which is that "They cost more in employee-hours-to wait for buyers to fish them out, then to count, pack up and take them to the bank" when they could just have easily carried less volume of money with higher value dollars and coins.

Not only are scientists with different Native languages than English deprived of publishing papers, for instance, a study on Colombian Biologists revealed that "Almost half of the respondents reported having papers rejected because of their

English grammar", demonstrating a loss of "knowledge" for the scientific community as a result of these strict guidelines. (Ortega, Rodrigo Pérez)

The problem is the incompatibility between foreign speaker scientists and English speaker scientists since "presenting oral presentations and general communication in English is much more challenging for

scientists with English as a Foreign Language (EFL)". This may discourage or outright disallow many scientists from other countries from having an opportunity to relay scientific research that could be critical to the scientific community.(Marquez, Melissa C., and Ana Maria Porras)
