Confirmed Program Fee
View as PDF
|IAP Program Fees
|The UW Program Fee is a fixed cost including academic expenses, administrative costs, mandatory insurance, room and three meals a day with a local family during the term, orientation, and program excursions.
|Estimated Additional Expenses
|The following are estimated expenses to help plan and prepare for the program. These amounts are subject to change depending on international economic factors and past participant reports. Student expenditures in-country depend greatly on personal spending habits, post-or during-program travel, and available funds.
|Airfare is an estimate based on a round-trip fare from Chicago-Granada-Chicago.
Meals estimate is for additional meals during orientation.
Personal miscellaneous estimates include daily living expenses, spending money, reasonable travel, and pre-departure costs.
|Total Cost of Attendance
International Academic Programs (IAP) reserves the right to adjust the fees and expenses at any time. During the course of Program operations, actual figures may vary.
|A. Program
Program Specific Cancellation Policy
29-8 days before program start date: 300 Euros (approximately $360 USD)
7-1 days before the program start date: 50% of the total program fee
As of the start of the program: total program fee due; no refund.
|B. International Academic Programs
Students may wish to cancel their participation before the program begins or withdraw after the program starts. Official cancellations or withdrawals are effective the date IAP has received written notification from the student. In either case, only recoverable IAP program fee costs will be waived or refunded. The IAP Acceptance Deposit is non-refundable. In all cases, non-IAP program fees are the responsibility of the student.
As the amount of program fee costs that are recoverable can vary greatly depending on the program and the timing of the cancellation/withdraw, IAP strongly encourages students to check with IAP regarding what the specific amounts may be before making a final decision.
If a student cancels their participation between the dates below, a $300 IAP Cancellation Fee will be charged in additional to any non-recoverable IAP program fee costs:
|Conditional Participants: Should a student not meet the condition established by IAP and therefore their participation is cancelled, only recoverable IAP program fee costs will be waived or refunded. The student will be responsible for the IAP Acceptance Deposit and the $300 IAP Cancellation Fee.
|Students Placed on Probation: Should a student be placed on probation and therefore their participation is cancelled, only recoverable IAP program fee costs will be waived or refunded. The student will be responsible for the IAP Acceptance Deposit and the $300 IAP Cancellation Fee.
|Change of Program Duration: Should a student wish to defer their participation on a program, the student may transfer the IAP Acceptance Deposit for the same program to a future duration within the current or next fiscal year. The $300 IAP Cancellation Fee will not be charged; however, should the student cancel participation on the future duration the fee will be charged. The student may also incur program specific fees depending on the written notification date of deferral.
|Called to Active U.S. Military Service: IAP follows the UW-Madison policy for enrolled UW-Madison students who are called to active U.S. military service.
|IAP Program Cancellation
If IAP cancels a program before or after the program starts and students cannot receive academic credit, the student will receive a full refund of the IAP program fee including the IAP Acceptance Deposit.
If IAP cancels a program at a point when students can receive academic credit, no refund of the IAP program fee is provided. For programs which are an academic or calendar year length in which students can receive credit for their first semester only, the second semester IAP program fee will be refunded.
In all cases, non-IAP program fees are the responsibility of the student.
Accepted students pay a non-refundable IAP Acceptance Deposit to secure a place in the program which is credited to the IAP program fee. The remainder of the IAP program fee is billed by the UW-Madison Bursars Office as an eBill. eBills are sent approximately four weeks in advance of the general payment due date listed below. Official payment due dates are on the eBill. If a student has a problem meeting the payment due date, the student should contact their IAP Financial Specialist before the eBill due date to avoid penalties.
Students may incur additional charges during or after their study abroad program (i.e.: single room charge, additional course fee) for which the student will be billed. At any time, a student can view their account balance and financial aid awards in MyUW. Payments must be paid by the due date on the students eBill. Payments received after the due date listed on the eBill will be charged a $100 late fee. IAP reserves the right to cancel a students participation and/or to place a hold on the students UW record for failure to pay.
Information on payment methods and delivery, late fees, and financial aid disbursement and refunds can be found on the Bursars Office website at www.bussvc.wisc.edu/bursar. Review the IAP Study Abroad Handbook for more details on the payment process.
UW-Madison student may be able to utilize financial aid on UW-Madison study abroad programs. Guidelines on the usage can be found on the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) webpage at www.finaid.wisc.edu.
If you have not received aid in the past, you may still be eligible for financial aid to help with your study abroad expenses. Students interested in receiving financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships) should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is available online at www.finaid.wisc.edu. It is possible to apply for aid anytime during the academic year. However, it can often take in excess of 4 weeks to complete the processing of your application with OSFA; therefore, it is best to apply as early as possible.
If you already receive aid, you may qualify for additional funding to offset the extra costs sometimes associated with study abroad. Additional aid often comes in the form of loans, although there are some need-based study abroad grants available annually through OSFA. Likewise, if anticipated study abroad costs are less than on-campus costs; aid packages can be reduced. IAP provides OSFA with program cost information for each of our study abroad participants.
According to OSFA, if you accept your financial aid award before you leave the U.S. and complete and return promissory notes for loans (if appropriate), financial aid funds will be credited to your UW account no sooner than 10 days prior to the start date on campus for the applicable fall or spring semester (5 days prior for summer abroad programs.) If your program start date is after the start date on campus, financial aid funds will be disbursed 10 days prior to the later start date. OSFA cannot legally disburse funds sooner than that. Therefore, it is important that you apply for financial aid long before you leave on your abroad program (at least by March 1 for a summer program; by June 1 for an academic year or fall program; and by October 1 for a winter intersession or spring abroad program). Your financial aid funds will be credited to your IAP program cost(s). If you have more than enough aid to cover the program cost(s), you will receive a refund (either electronically or paper check by mail depending on what you have set-up with the Bursars Office).
Questions about financial aid and funding your study abroad program should be addressed to:
Students are encouraged to apply for scholarships and grants. Visit IAPs Scholarship Information at www.studyabroad.wisc.edu/scholarships.html which has detailed information regarding study abroad scholarships, creative fundraising ideas, and other helpful financial tips.
Private scholarships received from agencies or companies outside the university may or may not allow students to use the scholarship for off-campus study abroad programs. Students should consult with the scholarship grantor if this is not clarified in the scholarship award letter.
Student scholarship recipients for the following scholarships should inform their IAP Financial Specialist to receive assistance with using this award when studying abroad:
|For tax and scholarship purposes, the following is a breakdown of the IAP Program Fee by qualified and non-qualified expenses:
Wisconsin Residents: Qualified = $7,981.00; Non-Qualified Costs = $3,269.00
MN Reciprocity: Qualified = $8,581.00; Non-Qualified Costs = $3,269.00
Non-Residents: Qualified = $10,681.00; Non-Qualified Costs = $3,269.00

As part of its review of the EU working time Directive, the Commission has launched the mandatory second stage of consultation with workers' and employers' representatives at EU level.
It also presented a detailed Report on the legal implementation of the Working Time Directive in Member States.
The second stage consultation paper asks social partners for their views on two alternative approaches based on either a narrower or a broader scope for the review. It seeks opinions on detailed options that cover key themes such as:
A wide consensus emerged from the replies of the EU-level workers' and employers' representatives to the first stage consultation. The clear message has been that changes to the current working time rules are urgently needed. There is also a high degree of consensus that EU working time rules should allow greater flexibility for workers' and employers' representatives to negotiate on the details of implementation at the appropriate level.
At the same time, the Commission has presented a detailed Report on the implementation of the current Directive in the Member States. It sets out the current state-of-play, identifying the main areas of non-compliance or of legal uncertainty in the various countries.
The Commission has also presented the first findings of independent studies on the economic and social impact of working time rules and of research on relevant changes in working patterns. These findings mention issues like the detrimental effects that excessive working hours can have on health; the current spending constraints of Member States; and the issue of skills shortages as public and private employers find ways to reduce the impact of the working time rules.
The study also suggests that the Directive can act as a catalyst for efficiency gains and a better work-life balance. The Commission will be publishing these results to facilitate the social partners' replies to the consultation.

Samsung has just announced the highly anticipated Galaxy S 4, and already a lucky select few are posting their first hands-on impressions of the device. Does it stand up to the Galaxy S III, quite possibly the most popular Android device ever released? Here's what people are saying.
"At first blush, the Galaxy S4 doesn't feel revolutionary, but given the continued success of its predecessor maybe a revolution wasn't called for. It's a faster phone with a better screen, a better camera, and some cool new software features, and for the company that's nearly synonymous with the word "Android," that may be enough to ensure another huge success."
"…bells and whistles aside, what will sell the Samsung Galaxy S4 more than any other aspect – more even than sheer brand loyalty – is the display. It is as vibrant as ever before seen on a Super AMOLED display, but with full HD (1920 x 1080) crispness to boot."
"So, what's the real game-changer, then? For Samsung, it's all about the TouchWiz software suite layered atop Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. And there's no shortage of it either."
"If HTC has focused its software efforts on BlinkFeed and Zoe, Samsung has cast its net wide, basically throwing everything at the wall in the expectation that at least something will stick for most users."
"The Samsung Galaxy S 4 may look pretty similar to its predecessor on the outside, but the truth is it's a huge upgrade."
"It's too early to call the Galaxy S4 an unmitigated success. But between what we've seen today and the Samsung marketing blitz we all know is coming, we can say this in full confidence: It's going to sell millions, and rightfully so. It's easily the best all-around smartphone money can buy."
"Samsung's consumer focused strategy is one that has done very well and I see the Galaxy S 4 continuing that. The real question is how well all of these features will perform/work in final software. Conceptually the Galaxy S 4's software suite makes a lot of sense, the proof as always will be in the execution and how long it takes Samsung to get to the appropriate level of polish."
"Although the handset's hardware isn't exceptionally beautiful and software isn't particularly inspiring, it has every essential feature and then some. Right now, the best way I can describe it is as the Gap clothing of smartphones. While you may not use or even like every item on display, it's long on basics, represents a certain high standard, and you'll be able to get it anywhere."

DACA Students are Not Recommended to Study Abroad
On September 5th, 2017, President Donald Trump announced his intent to rescind the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program after a six-month waiting period. While the administration claims that the status of DACA recipients is not in jeopardy within those six months, it is unclear what further actions may be taken.View Complete Article
Therefore, Global Programs recommends that those in the DACA program do not pursue study abroad during the 2017-2018 school year (Fall '17, Spring '18, and Summer '18). Doing so would increase the risk of deportation from the United States upon attempted re-entry into the country.

Republican Richard Lugar has shown through a lengthy Senate career that he can broker compromises on international and domestic issues, and avoid the acrimony that often brings Washington to a halt.
It's those qualities that may end up costing the former Rhodes Scholar and Indianapolis mayor the seat he first won in 1976.
Lugar, one of the longest-serving senators, is facing perhaps his toughest GOP challenger ever in tea party-backed state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who hopes to end the incumbent's 36-year Capitol Hill career with a victory in Tuesday's primary.
Mourdock has spent months arguing that Lugar is not conservative enough for the right-leaning state, and he hopes to benefit from the split between the party's establishment and conservative wings. The challenger, aided by outside groups, also has tried to make the anti-incumbent argument, portraying Lugar as nothing more than a Washington insider.
"When Dick Lugar moved to Washington, he left behind his conservative Hoosier values," Mourdock said in a recent ad.
The attacks have taken a toll. Public polls show a close race, though internal surveys by several Republicans show Mourdock with a slight edge.
Lugar, 80, has "had his turn," said Judy Young of Brooklyn.
Lugar and his supporters have tried to turn his Washington career into an asset by arguing that his deep relationships in the capital make him best positioned to represent Indiana Republicans.
"I'm not for Dick Lugar for what he's done, but for what he can do," Gov. Mitch Daniels said in a recent campaign ad. "Our point of view gets heard and has a better chance to win out with Dick Lugar."
If Lugar loses, the seat probably will become a top target of national Democrats hoping to retain a narrow Senate majority. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said President Barack Obama's campaign and independent groups would be expected to rally behind U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly.
That's less likely if Lugar, who's seen as a strong general election candidate because of his bipartisan record, prevails Tuesday.
Friends and foes alike say while Lugar had the backing of much of the state's establishment, including Daniels, he was slow to recognize the threat that Mourdock posed. They point to warning signs nationally from the 2010 primaries that severely divided the GOP. Tea party-supported candidates beat incumbents such as Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and establishment hopefuls in primaries in Colorado, Delaware and elsewhere.
Lugar has given critics fodder to assail him as out of touch with Indiana and Midwestern values.
He sold his Indianapolis home in 1977, and Democrats are now using that against him. Democrats and tea partyers mocked the fact that he lived in McLean, Va., near Washington, and raised the residency issue with Indiana authorities. Lugar briefly was ruled ineligible to vote in Indiana and later was forced to change his voter registration to his family farm in Indianapolis.
He also had to pay the Senate for more than $14,000 spent on hotel stays for weekend visits to Indiana.
One Mourdock supporter, 49-year-old Alan Horton of Mooresville, asked, "How does a man who doesn't live in this state vote for himself?" Many others have the same question.
Lugar hasn't done much to woo the tea party. In fact, he blamed the tea party for keeping the Senate in Democratic hands after the 2010 elections by nominating candidates who were too conservative to win general elections in a few critical states.
He also struggled to find a message that would appeal to the tea party-infused Indiana GOP.
Initially, he focused on Obama, blaming him for not supporting construction of a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. Later, he turned his sights on Mourdock, attacking him as "untrustworthy" in a series of negative ads. Lugar's campaign spent at least $2.5 million on advertising to answer Mourdock's charges and cut him down. Republicans say that effort backfired because the attacks undercut Lugar's reputation as a statesman.
"Personally he's just not mean, but his campaign has been so mean that once Mourdock became quasi-credible and people listened to him, the negatives began backfiring," said former U.S. Rep. Mark Souder, who is neutral in the race.
Lugar acknowledges hiccups but insists he's pleased with his campaign's effort.
"Obviously you can always think back over things that could have been done better," Lugar said. "You never have 100 percent."
Mourdock, a former geologist and two-term treasurer, spent more than $2 million to press his message. He got help from the anti-tax Club for Growth, which has spent about $1.7 million assailing Lugar.
He has been a fixture in GOP circles for some time but had struggled to win an election until his 2006 run for treasurer. That office catapulted him into the national spotlight when he challenged the Chrysler bankruptcy in a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court, and endeared him to tea party activists looking for a change.
He may be rewarded Tuesday.

I'm rather new to this whole "Wow, I'm not a Christian anymore" so please don't take my thoughts here as me "militantly arguing my side."Think of me as in "research mode."As far as abortion and stem cell research goes: When does life deserve to be protected?It seems to me that I would not vote to allow a baby to be killed when it is 48 hours old. - You probably wouldn't eitherBut what about 48 hours before that? What about 12 minutes before that?Christian, religious or not, right now it seems to me that a fertilized egg is just as human as a 48 hour old baby.When does life begin?
The law is already set - no one is asking you to vote on it.
A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ADDRESS HUMAN EMBRYOAND HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH IN MICHIGANThe proposed constitutional amendment would:Expand use of human embryos for any research permitted under federal law subject to the following limits: theembryos ---- are created for fertility treatment purposes-- are not suitable for implantation or are in excess of clinical needs-- would be discarded unless used for research-- were donated by the person seeking fertility treatmentProvide that stem cells cannot be taken from human embryos more than 14 days after cell division begins.Prohibit any person from selling or purchasing human embryos for stem cell research.Prohibit state and local laws that prevent, restrict or discourage stem cell research; future therapies and cures.
One slightly interesting point of irony. There is a large subset of Protestantism that describe their religious positions in terms of a spiritual re-awakening. They derive their name from a passage in the book of John, chapter 3. Having made their religious decisions consciously, as adults, they are famously devout. However, the name of this group is escaping me at the moment, though it is surely on the tip of my tongue. Can anyone fill in the name of this group? _______-Again Christians.
The fact is that the birth of a person can only happen once so it can easily be understood metaphorically.
IwasWrong, why not just leave it as one of those questions you hope you'll never have to answer, and move on? Don't get me wrong, if you enjoy probing the depths of the question and debating it, then by all means please do so... someone has to! But if the question causes you stress or discomfort, it hardly seems like an important enough topic to force an opinion on. The law is already set - no one is asking you to vote on it. You are unlikely to have the need to draw the line in your own life - you have a family and probably wouldn't mind another child, or would abort very early if you did. No one is harming you in any way by having an abortion either. In fact, you could easily argue that forcing people to have abortions would create more turmoil and strife in the world, and certainly would lend to a high degree of unwanted and unhappy children.Why do you feel you need to find an answer to this question?
So it's really in-vetro fertilization that pro-lifers should have a problem with?
"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."--J.C.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.

Illustrated by Sara Ogilvie
The Midnight Folk is a feast of imaginative storytelling, a glorious cornucopia of pirates and witches, lost treasure and talking animals. Although it was published in 1927, it evokes an older world: houses are lit by oil lamps, and travel is by horse, carriage – or broomstick.
Published price: US$ 62.95
'Don't you have any fear, Kay. We're the guards, we are. We hear that the house has gone all to sixes and sevens since we left it, but that's going to be remedied now'Young Kay Harker lives in an old house in the country, filled with portraits of his ancestors. His only companions are his unpleasant guardian Sir Theopompus and his governess Sylvia Daisy Pouncer (who, Kay suspects, has stolen all his toys). Life is lonely and dull, until one night Kay's great-grandpapa Harker, a sea captain, steps out of his portrait to tell him about a stolen treasure that belongs to Kay's family. The evil Abner Brown is searching for it too, but Kay is helped by the midnight folk: creatures like Nibbins the cat and Rollicum Bitem Lightfoot the fox, and even his lost toys, who will join him on his dangerous quest.
'The sort of book that grown-ups like to give a child for Christmas, and then enjoy reading themselves'
The Midnight Folk is a feast of imaginative story-telling, a glorious cornucopia of pirates and witches, lost treasure and talking animals. Although it was published in 1927, it evokes an older world: houses are lit by oil lamps, and travel is by horse, carriage – or broomstick. Masefield perfectly captures a child's perspective, from the terrors of tigers under the bed to the horrors of declining a Latin adjective. Yet there is also plenty of humour that adults will appreciate, from Miss Piney Trigger, who swigs champagne in bed and prides herself on having backed a host of Derby winners, to Kay's lessons: 'Divinity was easy, as it was about Noah's Ark. French was fairly easy, as it was about the cats of the daughter of the gardener.' This mingling of past and present, reality and fantasy, has made this one of the most rewarding and influential children's books ever written.
'Masefield the children's writer is unbeatable … The Midnight Folk is a truly remarkable book'
Born in 1878, Masefield had an idyllic early childhood in rural Hertfordshire until he was orphaned at the age of six and sent to live with an uncle and aunt. At 13, he was sent to sea as a naval cadet. He deserted in America and ended up working in a carpet factory, before returning to England in 1897, determined to become a writer. By 1930, he was Poet Laureate, and had published the first of his two acclaimed children's books (The Box of Delights followed in 1935). In her introduction, Alison Lurie explores the inspiration for The Midnight Folk in Masefield's own childhood. Sara Ogilvie's enchanting illustrations provide the perfect counterpart to the story.

Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo
Covering an area of 545 rai (218 acres), the zoo is one of the most modern in Asia. The enclosures are large and landscaped by section to match the habitat of each animal most of which have come from Africa. The most popular animals are penguins, seals, African elephants, rhinoceros, cheetahs, lions, zebras, and giraffes.
Khao Yai National Park
The park is comprised of mixed forests and rainforests with some wide plains and grasslands interspersed with verdant forests. There are many valuable plants, including commercial plants, scented plants and herbs. In addition, there are several mountains with peaks ranging from 800 to 3,000 meters above sea level making Khao Yai a cool climate area, even in summer. Also there are low waterfalls up to high waterfalls where some places can be reached by walking or do trail trekking or bird and butterfly watching.
Prasat Hin Phanomwan
Prasat Phanom Wan is in Ban Makha, Tambon Pho, around 15 kilometres from the city on the Nakhon Ratchasima-Khon Kaen road. A sign on the right shows the way on a road 5 kilometres more. This is an interesting Khmer sanctuary. It is believed that it was built in the 15th Buddhist century. Later during the 18th-19th centuries, a stone building was built over it.

Having library materials on a shelf is not sufficient to serve library patrons well. Library materials must be organized in a manner which allows the user to locate materials of interest easily and quickly. This is accomplished through cataloging and classifying the materials. The catalog is the key to finding materials in the library. Keeping the cataloging of your collection up to date as materials arrive is important. Library materials must be processed before they can be placed on the shelf.
Initial Considerations
For most small libraries without a technical services staff, it is highly recommended that books be ordered "shelf-ready", i.e., already cataloged, classified, and labeled. Most major vendors/jobbers provide this service for a fee and it is one very good reason to do most of your ordering from one of them. When the books are sent to the library, the vendor/jobber can also send cataloging records in batches to be loaded into your integrated library system (ILS). A variety of end processing can also be done with this service, including labeling, stamping, and adding security strips and date due slips.
Where this option is too costly, libraries can subscribe to a utility such as OCLC, obtain cataloging records created by other libraries, and export them into the local system. Representatives from these utilities can explain the options for smaller libraries and provide training. Once an agreement is in place, routine copy cataloging can help make the collection accessible. Even without a subscription to a utility, the Library of Congress allows users to download MARC records directly from their catalog.
Yet another option is to join a consortium. Partnering with other libraries with more extensive resources can be a great help to tribal libraries. Joining a consortium with a shared catalog can make cataloging a collection simple since, in many cases, the records are already in the catalog, and it is just a matter of adding data to show your library holds that item as well. When there are no local consortia, it is still a good idea to build relationships with larger libraries and keep in contact with your state library as well to gain support for technical services needs.
In addition to partnering with larger libraries, developing tribal libraries might consider partnering with MLIS or MIS programs to bring in graduate students who can assist with strategic technical services planning, as well as the hands-on processing. Internships and work-study relationships seem to have successfully worked for a number of tribes who are eager to pull in the knowledge and skills of soon-to-be professionals. It is also a great opportunity for library school students to become exposed to the needs of tribal libraries. Cross-cultural competence might be an issue for some of these relationships, but they can sometimes be fruitful. Working particularly with programs that recruit and train Native information professionals (such as Knowledge River or the University of British Columbia First Nations Core Curriculum) might help address this last point.
Before beginning the classifying/cataloging process, one should separate the library materials in accordance with the groupings of the collection. For instance, the collection may have the following sections: adult, juvenile, reference, and special collections such as tribal materials and/or Native American materials in general.
Another initial step is deciding which classification system to use. The two most commonly used are the Dewey Decimal System and Library of Congress. Most small public libraries in the United States use the Dewey Decimal System as their classification system and Sears List of Subject Headings as their subject heading index. However, those tribes either possessing or planning to possess large amounts of materials by, for and about Native Americans may find Library of Congress classification and subject headings more suitable to their needs. Be sure to evaluate which classification system and which subject heading list best meets the need of your community. Also consider the system used by the other libraries in your consortium, if applicable.
Choosing an Integrated Library System
Choosing an integrated library system (ILS) has become somewhat easier for smaller libraries. There are many low cost or free alternatives available.
An open source ILS is a good option for libraries without funds to purchase commercial systems. Koha is an example of a free open source ILS. It includes modules for cataloging, acquisitions, and circulation. Options in this area are expanding. The open source option is especially suited for tribal libraries applying for grant funding, since there may be an initial cost to get the system set up but no ongoing license fees to worry about when the grant period is over.
There are also systems designed for smaller school and church libraries that are not as costly as others. Finally, Librarything.com and Delicious Library are examples of web-based systems with attractive features at very little cost.
Basic Copy Cataloging Procedures
When using a utility like OCLC or sharing records in a consortium catalog, first search for a record that matches the item you have. Search by ISBN first when available. Check to make sure the following match your item:
020 $a ISBN
245 $a title $c statement of responsibility
250 $a edition
260 $a place $b publisher $c year (Printing dates can be ignored if there is no evidence of revision. Look for a matching publication or copyright date.)
300 $a paging
If these match, the record can be used. When the record has been added to your catalog, you may need to correct any typos, add subject headings if they are missing (see Basic Original Cataloging Procedures), and create a call number if there is not one available in the record. Be sure that the record reflects the location where the item is available (Reference, Juvenile, etc.) either in the call number or designated field in your system.
Basic Original Cataloging Procedures
If you are unable to find a matching record for an item, and it has been published in the last year or so, it is advisable to set it aside and check later for copy. If none appears, an original record will need to be created. Original cataloging requires training and can be time-consuming and expensive. Cataloging that is not done according to standards can result in confusion for library users, or render resources inaccessible. Vendor/jobbers can be paid for this service, but it can also be done in-house using your library management system. When possible, contact professional catalogers you know for guidance.
First review documentation for your ILS to determine how to open a template for a new record, then follow the steps below.
Familiarize yourself with how related records have been constructed. The record should follow the standards established in the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2) and International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD). These standards help us to share records more easily and access data in a predictable way.
Description in a minimal record should include title, author, place of publication, publisher, date, paging, and size.
Subject headings
A subject heading indicates the primary subject content of the work and serves as an access point when searching. When assigning a heading, a good rule of thumb is to use three or fewer headings that sum up the overall content. For example, a book on cars, trucks, and bicycles can have the subject headings: Automobiles, Trucks, and Bicycles; a book on cars, trucks, bicycles and trains should have the subject heading vehicles.
The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is the most commonly used thesaurus in libraries. The resource Classification Web (or ClassWeb), which allows easy searching of Library of Congress subject headings and classification, is available as an online tool for a yearly fee. This is a good option for libraries doing little original cataloging, instead of subscribing to the print versions of these tools. If print versions are desired, contact larger libraries who may be discarding previous editions.
Call numbers
A call number indicates the unique location of an item in the library. Both Library of Congress and Dewey call numbers are often available through copy cataloging. When constructing an original record, browse records on the same topic to get an idea of the classification should be, then verify it using ClassWeb or print resources. After selecting the classification number, a cutter number is added using the first letter of the main entry (either the title, or author if there is a 100 field) followed by numbers to give the item a unique call number. Standard tables are available to construct the cutter number, such as the Cutter-Sanborn three-figure or Library of Congress cutter table. Verify that the call number you assign is not already being used in your collection.
Example of a call number:
Z (class number)
.C37 (cutter number)
1996 (date)
Alternatives for Tribal Libraries
The most commonly used subject heading and classification schemes are convenient, since they are shared by so many libraries, and they are effective in many ways. But they can also be difficult or confusing to use, and mysterious to patrons. Also, they were created from a white, Western perspective, for collections with a white, Western focus, which means that many offensive, frustrating, and marginalizing examples can be found in these schemes. Some libraries have opted to use alternative subject headings or classification schemes that bring an Indigenous perspective to the organization of the collection. Maintaining such systems means that copy cataloging will be slowed down, as each record will need to be adapted using the local system. The library would need to commit time and staff training to maintain a local scheme. But the benefits may be found to outweigh the complications. Examples include Brian Deer Classification, the Native American Educational Services (NAES) Subject Index, and the First Nations House of Learning Thesaurus.
When Automation Is Not An Option
If it is not possible to use an ILS to organize your collection, some vendors/jobbers will provide catalog cards for the items you have purchased from them. Others must be typed by hand. Some small libraries with access to the Internet and a printer have opted to print out MARC records from sources such as the Library of Congress, WorldCat, or other libraries' catalogs, and organize them in the same manner as a card catalog. For each item, cards must be made for access by author, title, and subject.
For subject access, cross-reference cards can be supplied. A cross-reference is a reference made from one subject term to another. The two basic types are SEE and SEE ALSO references. These are typed on cards and filed in the appropriate places in the catalog. SEE references refer a user from a subject term not used to the subject term that is used. For instance, in the subject file under American Indians, a card might be filed showing AMERICAN INDIANS, see INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA. This tells the user to look under INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA in the subject file instead. A SEE ALSO reference refers to user to other related subject terms. For instance, in the subject file under Chatino Indians, a card might be filed showing CHATINO INDIANS, see also ZAPOTEC INDIANS. This lets the user know that related items can be found under that heading.
A shelf list is a record of items in the library and is comprised of the main entry cards for each title filed by call number. In other words, catalog cards appear in the same order as the materials on the shelf. The shelf list is maintained primarily as an inventory tool for the librarian.
Preparation for Use
After cataloging, there are certain steps which must be taken to ready items to be placed on the shelf for use. These include:
1. Attaching a date due slip, and a book pocket and circulation card if a manual check-out system is used. The book pocket and the circulation card should have the call number, author (last name first), title, and copy number, if there is one, on them. Book pockets, date due slips and circulation cards can be ordered from library suppliers and are also provided by jobbers if books are ordered pre-processed.
2. Stamping for ownership. A rubber stamp with the library's name is used for this purpose.
3. Identifying the material with a call number. The items call number should be marked, in the case of a book, on the spine (about 2 ½ inches from the bottom) so it may be easily shelved and easily located on the shelf by the user. The call number can be placed on the spine by a variety of methods including labels, transfer paper, electric stylus and markers all of which can be obtained through a library supplier. This too will be done by the jobber if items are ordered preprocessed.
4. Attaching a protective cover. This step is optional as it is an extra cost and is not needed by all libraries. Protective book covers are most often used on valuable and popular materials. Protective covers are available through library suppliers and can also be provided by jobbers.

This week, a federal district court judge blocked President Obama's executive order dealing with federal financing for embryonic stem cell research. In his decision, US District Court Judge Royce Lamberth found that the 2009 order issued by President Obama, which expanded the pool of human stem cell lines available for federal research funding, violated a ban on using federal money to destroy embryos. The rule in question, known as the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, was first attached to an appropriations bill in 1996. It has appeared ever since then in the annual appropriations bills for the Department of Health and Human Services.
The ruling left stem cell researchers in confusion, unsure about what types of research could and could not be performed using federal funds. We'll talk about the ruling and what it means for researchers.

News about Peter Lynn Guerilla from http://www.anabatic.co.nz
Thursday 18th July.
4 days of great Kiteboarding over the last week have left me buzzing. Plus, to make epic kiteboarding even better I was lucky enough to be sent a prototype of the next generation of Kiteboarding kites from Peter Lynn to try out just before the wind arrived. So, there I was with a a totally new toy to go out and thrash around in the waves. Needless to say I have been totally amped ever since. I love my job!
The new kite is called The "Guerilla". This kite has the biggest wind range of any kite I have used to date. Its extremely fast turning. Develops a massive amount of energy for speed and jumps, and this kite really jumps! It is amazing how forgiving and easy to use this kite is, and how it also rivals top competition kites in terms of performance. I will have to write up a full review on this kite in the KiteTech page to explain all the features in full detail. Expect to see this new design out in time for the 2003 summer season.
Stepahn Cook (NZ) has just won his third competition this year and was riding this new Guerilla kite in the Dutch event. One of the other competitors in the event complained to the judges that Stephan had an unfair advantage over the inflatable kite riders. Talk about a sore loser! Aparently the performance of the Guerilla allowed him to spend far more time performing his advanced freestyle tricks in the comp zone than the other inflatable riders. These guys lost more ground down wind with each trick and took longer to tack back up wind. I guess if you want to take competitions seriously over the next year this could be a big advantage for you and something to seriously consider. For Peter Lynn this latest win is great news, especially considering the Guerilla is intended for sale as a kite suitable for all levels of rider. I will let you know when they have finialised the design for 2003.

Edible High Lines are the new trend this holiday season.
You can find the latest creation at Cookshop, a favorite neighborhood restaurant located on the corner of 10th Avenue and West 20th Street.
The mini-High Line, made entirely of gingerbread, frosting, and festive winter plants, captures some of the park's iconic architectural details, like the art deco railing and the Pentagram-designed High Line "H" logo on the structure's column. There are even two gingerbread people taking a pleasant wintertime stroll.
This is the second edible High Line we've seen this holiday season. At Thanksgiving, our friends at Inhabitat New York City created a High Line centerpiece made of vegetables, sushi containers, and chopsticks. They even put together a tutorial on how to make one for your own holiday table.
Do you have a photo of your own High Line creation?
Share it with us! Email the photo and brief description to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll post your photos on the blog.

Funds to upgrade pumping station at Woodlawn Beach
Republican State Sen. Mark Grisanti announced Woodlawn State Beach Park will be receiving $75,000 from the Environmental Protection Fund to help with the Town of Hamburg's pump station conversion project.
Grisanti, who chairs the Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee, said, "Woodlawn State Beach Park is a top issue of mine. I am always looking for ways to help clean up the water so that the residents of Hamburg and other Western New Yorkers can enjoy this great beach."
Hamburg Town Supervisor Steven Walters said, "This is yet another opportunity to enhance Woodlawn Beach, which is quickly becoming a regional tourist destination. Sen. Grisanti continues to show that he shares our commitment to opening our waterfront to greater recreation use for the public."
Walters said the estimated cost of the project is $120,000, a price tag that includes running water and sewer lines to the old pump station. The building will be partitioned into handicapped-accessible lavatory facilities for men and women and storage space. The exterior of the building would be given architectural features that allow it to fit into the overall setting of the beach.

FinREC Raises "Significant Concerns" about FASB's Proposed Disclosure Framework
December 20, 2012
The Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC) of the American Institute of CPAs submitted a comment letter to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on Dec. 11, 2012 agreeing with the stated goals of the Board's July 12, 2012, Invitation to Comment (ITC), Disclosure Framework, but raising "significant concerns" that "need to be addressed before this framework could be operationalized by the Board and its constituents."
The FinREC letter said that "a sound disclosure framework has the potential to yield several benefits to financial statement stakeholders, including more effective communication of information relevant for the decisions those users confront, coupled with the elimination of redundant or irrelevant information from the statement notes."
FinREC outlined the two proposed decision processes in the ITC. One would be used by FASB in deciding whether to require certain disclosures in a proposed standard, and a second would be used by reporting entities in deciding when to include a specific disclosure in the periodic financial statements.
"As acknowledged by the Board, these two decision processes can be quite different," FinREC said. "The Board's decision process, for example, is intended to serve the informational needs of the user community in general, whereas the reporting entity's decision process is more focused on the relevance and materiality of company-specific transactions and events. Presumptive conclusions about relevance and materiality guide the Board's decisions about whether certain disclosures are required or recommended, and each reporting entity is then challenged to assess disclosure relevance and materiality given their particular facts and circumstances."
"We believe that a proposed disclosure framework must clearly distinguish the principles applicable for use by the Board in determining the scope and content of financial statement notes and those principles applicable to preparers in determining how to comply with the Board's disclosure guidance," FinREC said in its letter.
Consequently, the letter said, "FinREC recommends that both the Board's decision framework and the reporting entity's decision framework be more concise, purposeful, and concrete in specifying the objectives of financial statement note disclosures and in providing a clear path to achieving those objectives. The Board states in the Invitation to Comment that the objective is to improve effectiveness by clearly communicating information that is most relevant to users. However, we do not find in the document a clear understanding of how this objective would be met. That is, what principles should the Board and a preparer use in assessing compliance with the objective?"
FinREC encouraged FASB to continue to reach out to stakeholder groups – especially preparers, auditors, and users of financial statements from private entities and entities in specialized industries – to better understand how the framework might be modified and used in those situations as it further develops the disclosure framework.
More information about the ITC is available on the FASB website.

Bob Avila Biography
Bob Avila was born into a horse family. Riding everything from his father's rope horses to his mother's pleasure horses, he learned to appreciate many different aspects of horsemanship. Bob showed his first horse at the age of five and from that moment on, he was hooked on showing.
At age 20, Bob went to work for NRCHA Hall Of Fame member, Tony Amaral and eventually went out on his own. Bob has since won over 37 World or Reserve World Championships in events ranging from Reining and Working Cow Horse, to Western Riding and Halter.
He is an NRCHA Million Dollar Rider, a three-time Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion, and a two-time Worlds Greatest Horseman Champion. He won the Magnificent 7 Reined Cow Horse competition three times and was the first person to be awarded the AQHA Professional Horseman of the Year, and is one of only two people to win the Open at both the NRCHA and NRHA Futurities.
Bob's show career has truly been one for the ages, but what really makes him stand out, is the trainers that have mentored under him. Bob believes one thing above all else – you're nothing without your horse.
