Annual Meeting and Conference
I went to four of these law librarian annual (Summer) conventions from Reno, Nevada in 1989; Minneapolis, 1990; New Orleans, 1991, and San Francisco, 1992. And wrote a number of presenters every year after that until about 1996 or so after requesting their Schedules.
My 224 613 Project I hope will be the elephant in the room there in Chicago as some of the people I have battled with and others who have supported me will be giving speeches on something or another.
I would love to hear from other librarians, police, social workers, teachers, physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, etc. who look at TOTV about what kind of ideas you would have about how survivors/victims could be helped via library web-sites or in libraries themselves?
Google Taltarac725 for the details on why this is so important to me. And it seems even more relevant given the events of this past week were calmness, education and connecting with people in with empathy are extremely vital.
You will note when Googling Taltarzac725 that I have been corresponding with police departments since 1992 as victim/witness assistance centers are often housed in police stations or near them in other governmental buildings.
224 is my birthday and the day that my then Earl Wooster High School teacher's daughter Michelle Mitchell was slain (probably by Rodney Halbower) near the University of Nevada, Reno. The Mitchell family gave me a small Memorial Scholarship in the name of their daughter Michelle for the 1976-1977 Academic Year. 613 is the number I had in a 17 week study on stress on the unemployed conducted by the University of California San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in late 1992-1993. You can see how I used these numbers in the 1990s and who was helping me in some form or another and I hope is still helping me spotlight certain problems.
But this is an evolving Project with changes in technology and crimes and the types of survivors/victims as well.
I have been on TOTV since July 27, 2007 and have lived in the Villages since June 2005 so the 224 613 Project is very much connected with the Villages and TOTV and I appreciate the kindness and support of some of the people on TOTV as well as here in the Villages.
My Taltarzac725 Photobucket Array now has 17,908 views and I would really appreciate getting this number to 20,000 by the end of July 31, 2016 with the help of Villagers and TOTVers. I do think education, tolerance, and empathy are keys to fix some of the problems I uncovered while I earned four degrees and searched for practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes in the libraries at and near where I earned these degrees in five states-- NV, UT, CO, CA, MN as well as places I visited-- TX, AZ, IL, FL, NY or could visit via the web-- pretty much every other US state and many other countries.
It is also very important to spotlight some of the very dirty tricks used against me over the years so that they are not so easy to use against others like me. I discuss these in some of my postings on the Taltarzac725 Photobucket Array.
