It is also important reading for student teachers, community practitioner nurses, social work students and others who work with young children and their families.

Sustainable Enterprise Strategies for Optimizing Digital Stewardship

A Guide for Libraries, Archives, and Museums

By: Angela I. Fritz

For most academic libraries, archives and museums, digital content management is increasingly occurring on a holistic enterprise level. As most institutions contemplate an enterprise digital content strategy for a growing number of digitized surrogates and born-digital assets, libraries, archives, and museums understand that these expanding needs can only be met by more flexible approaches offered by a multicomponent digital asset management ecosystem (DAME). Increasingly, librarians, archivists, and curators are managing an integrated digital ecosystem by coordinating and complementing a number of existing and emerging initiatives. This guide provides a high-level overview and offers a conceptual framework for understanding a digital asset management ecosystem with discussions on digital collection typologies and assessment, planning and prioritization, the importance of a community of practice through associated workflows, and an understanding of the critical role that foresight planning plays in balancing an evolving infrastructure and expanding digital content with creative cost modeling and sustainability strategies. Borrowing from the principles of data curation, integrative collection building requires an understanding of the library’s “digital ecosystem” of licensed content, digitized material, and born-digital content in order to ensure strategic growth of institutional collections in the context of long-term holistic collection management plans. Key elements discussed in this book include: the importance of digital collection assessment, analysis, and prioritization, the realignment of accession and appraisal methodologies for efficient digital content acquisition, the need to think holistically relating to tool selection and infrastructure development to ensure interoperability, scalability, and sustainability of a universe of digital assets, the creation of cross-functional workflows in accordance with policies and plans, the importance of advocating for growing resources needed for managing, descriptive, administrative, technical, rights and preservation metadata across the institution, and the significance of distributed digital preservation models with a growing array of associated options for cloud storage.

Our Mothers' Land

Chapters in Welsh Women's History, 1830-1939

By: Angela V John

This volume marks the twentieth anniversary of the first publication of this groundbreaking book. It reflects the pioneering research of its contributors to the development of modern Welsh women's history. The eight chapters range widely across time (1830-1939) and place, from exploring working class women's community sanctions and the perils facing collier's wife to the very different lifestyles of ironmasters' wives. They also tackle the idealised images of respectable Welsh women in periodicals and the tragic reality of those who took their own lives as well as showing us the transgressive actions of suffrage rebels. They examine how women carved out space within movements such as temperance and track the fluctuating fortunes of women's employment and domestic life from the Great War to the eve of the Second World War. This volume makes available once more a book that has become a classic in its field and a vital part of the historiography of modern Wales. This expanded edition also brings us up to date. It reveals the research and publications of the last two decades and comments upon the extent to which Wales has moved beyond being the familiar 'land of our fathers'. Written in a lively and accessible style, it nevertheless draws upon a wealth of research and expertise and should appeal to both the academic community and to a much wider readership.

When Feeding Fails

Parents' Experiences of Faltering Growth

By: Angela Underdown

Why do previously healthy babies stop eating, or never show any interest in food? This study questions parents first-hand how it feels to have a child whose growth falters in this way and how the health services have responded. With many parents suffering extreme anxiety about their child's feeding problems and stress over medical tests and contact with health professionals, the report suggests how families can be helped through the experience. By examining the different factors that contribute to faltering growth (failure to thrive), it also begins to shed light on how this distressing problem can best be managed.
