Book Description
How can libraries and librarians across the educational continuum work together to support student transitions from high school to college, utilizing free or low-cost resources? This book supplies the answers. Informed Transitions: Libraries Supporting the High School to College Transition identifies the ways in which libraries and librarians can work together and create valuable resources that help students transition successfully to college—despite the challenges of increasing demand and diminishing resources. The book is organized into three sections: background, expectations, and skills; conversations and collaborations; and programs and resources. Section 1 establishes a foundational understanding of the libraries' role in supporting college transitions. Section 2 shares model conversations that move this work forward, stressing its collaborative nature. The third section highlights some well-established programs and resources that effectively support high school to college transitions. Practical information is provided throughout, pinpointing what high school students need to know to smoothly transition to college, spotlighting the expectations of college professors, and discussing audience-specific methods of working with students at the high school and college levels.

Book Description
A useful assessment tool to inform energy transition decisions in view of climate change Climate change is without question the greatest global challenge of the twenty-first century. Among its many aspects is the need for energy transitions worldwide, as sustainable energy infrastructure must be rapidly created if the world is to forestall climate catastrophe. Methods for measuring CO2 concentration and other factors producing climate change will be critical to managing this transition and assessing its early impacts. Measuring Climate Change to Inform Energy Transitions proposes a method for measuring sinusoidal gradients of increasing temperatures and CO2 concentration in order to determine the ongoing impact of global warming and make recommendations. This method will be critical in informing key decisions as the energy transition proceeds. It is a must-read for academic, professional, and policy stakeholders looking to meet these challenges head-on. Readers will also find: Concrete models and mechanisms for effecting energy transition Detailed discussion of topics including vegetative sinks for carbon capture, power reforms from coal, carbon footprint of internal combustion engines, skills required for green jobs and many more Examples and case studies to supplement quantitative analyses This book is ideal for professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers in the energy, environmental, government, and engineering fields.

Book Description
This guide offers a blueprint for co-designing and refreshing evidence-informed, needs-based solutions. Written for service providers, organizations, and system leaders who support transitions to adult life for young people with disabilities, across healthcare, community, education, and social service sectors. The digestible content and visually appealing graphic design makes the guide easy to read and navigate, allowing you to choose which sections are most relevant to you. Start with an introduction to using evidence and best practices in transition practice. Then read about our transformative approach to solution design, presented in four key tenets (Frameworks, Solution-focused approach, Human centered design, and Collaboration). To see how we put these tenets in action, skip ahead to four examples of transitions solutions implemented at Canada’s largest pediatric rehabilitation hospital (Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital). To action the tenets in your own practice, use the evidence-informed and practice-based supporting materials in the two appendices. Each section contains valuable resources, tools, and tips for your practice.
