Global value chains in a changing world is a 2013 report by the World Trade Organization. Global value changes (GVC) are a major driving force of globalisation.

They are inevitable outgrowth of the application of transformative information and transport technologies, combined with new business models and largely open borders. The GVC phenomenon promotes integration on multiple levels.Today’s international production systems confound traditional ways of looking at investment, production, finance, information systems and technology.

These can no longer be seen as separate, meriting distinct attention and discrete policy treatment.

In addition to identifying the new services that connected television enables, the report analyzes in some detail their effects on networks (i.e. the physical communication links that carry content to end-users).

I met Erin Maassen at the presentation I gave for the North Suburban Library Association last month. Erin is the Public Relations and Marketing Specialist for the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District and is doing a terrific marketing job.

-Nancy True story: A man pulls up beside a woman and parks his Harley. The woman, Juli, is a reference librarian. You probably know someone just like Juli, because librarians are great at establishing relationships. But let me ask you this: who do you listen to?

Quality versus QuantityHere’s the thing: I only made cards for staff members who asked for them. So what? World's first airport library at Schiphol Amsterdam < News Focus. The project is being set-up by the ProBiblio Dutch public library organisation with money from the ministry of education, culture and science.

According to project leader Dick van Tol, the collection will be very diverse. “It will be a multimedia venture and will include different aspects of Dutch culture. There won't just be books, but also films and music.” As the airport library is a place where people will pass time and then leave on their flights, visitors will not be allowed to take books, DVDs or other items away. There will, however, be a separate ‘download room’. The Airport Library, as it has been dubbed, will be located beyond passport control and only accessible to people with a ticket for a flight. He emphasises that the ash cloud from the volcanic eruption in Iceland - which brought air traffic at Schiphol to a halt twice over past weeks - did not influence the decision to open the library.
