Product Description
Emphasizing that diversity in the curriculum is as much about a way of thinking as it is about specific information, Lutzker presents a compendium of innovative and practical classroom strategies and widely available information resources which will enable faculty to increase the multicultural content of their courses without necessarily making major changes in their accustomed methods of teaching. This is a handbook for college faculty in all disciplines who would like to increase the multicultural content of their courses, but have been reluctant to do so for a variety of reasons including an already overloaded syllabus, a lack of background in the subject, uncertainty about student reactions, or lack of time to make substantial changes in an existing syllabus.

Product Description
This is a statistical survey of library provision in further education colleges, including sixth form colleges, in the UK. It covers service provision, finance and staffing, and provides information about the developments in the immediate post-incorporation period. The research was conducted jointly by The Library Association and The Survey and Statistical Centre at Sheffield Hallam University. Based on survey returns from further education colleges in the UK, this work provides a picture of library provision in this area. Designed to be comparable with the previous survey carried out by The Library Association just prior to incorporation ("College Libraries: A Case for Investment"), it highlights some significant changes and trends with implications for future development, including: the shift towards resource based, student-centred learning; the increasing input of library staff into curriculum delivery; the changing balance between traditional library resources and IT based learning resources; and reductions in funding and the adaptation of internal structures to a strong business orientation.The survey should be of interest to librarians, college managers and policy makers, and to their counterparts in other sectors and abroad. ...
