Like most of the boxes of used books Mary Krohlow sorted, this one had no identifying
marks.
Krohlow didn't know who donated it or when it had arrived. It was just one more that
needed inspecting before Sunday's annual Friends of the Library book sale.
Like many others, the books were in plastic grocery bags, shoved into a box.

Beyond The Fleeting Image

Summer 2004 edition of Television Quarterly.
Beyond The Fleeting Image by Rich Newberg
When the first images of moving life appeared on television, people couldn’t take their eyes off
the small screen. It didn’t matter much what was on the screen. In those early days, the novelty
was viewed more for entertainment than information. That would change as film cameras
recorded neighborhood events and newsmakers "up close and personal." Local stations
presented a defining look at the day’s news. Now, as we look back on that era...we see more
than the day’s news in that early footage. We see the era defined in a way that only television
can record it.

New chief at last for archive
By Philippa Hawker
June 16, 2004
If there is one thing a film archive needs, it is stability: for the often
fragile material it houses, and for the integrity of its operations. At
Australia's National Screen and Sound Archive, the past year has
seemed anything but stable, with proposals of restructures,
relocations and closures, uncertainty about future directions and a
vacancy at the top.
Now, with the announcement of a new director, Paolo Cherchi
Usai, there's at least one element of certainty. He's a leading
figure in the worldwide archival community, with an optimistic
attitude towards the challenges he faces.

Ohio Audit: Public Records Withheld Half the Time
By Mark Fitzgerald
Published: June 15, 2004 12:01 AM EST
CHICAGO Ohio school districts need a remedial lesson in open-records law, according to an audit by
43 newspapers of public record accessibility across the Buckeye State.
When auditors approached school district offices as average citizens asking for the salary records of
school superintendents and the phone bills for district treasurers, the offices complied fully with Ohio
law only 30% of the time.

He Pushed the Hot Button of Touch-Screen Voting
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
evin Shelley is a big and voluble Irish politician, the son of a former San Francisco mayor, and
not the sort you would figure for the heretofore semi-obscure job of California secretary of state.
But Mr. Shelley, who was elected to the post in November 2002 after a career as a state legislator, has
adapted the job to suit his style, taking the arcane matter of voting machines and turning it into a
hobbyhorse that some predict he could ride to the governor's office.
Mr. Shelley, a Democrat, has gained national notice for his skepticism toward touch-screen voting and
his insistence that voters be able to look at a paper record inside the voting booth to verify their ballots.
He says such paper trails are crucial if government wants voters to have confidence that their ballots are
being counted correctly.
