How are NGO's helping the lower socioeconomic people of Kolkata slums?

Hello,

I'm studying for my MLS (only my 3rd class) and I need to write a paper on the pros and cons of libraries and video gaming. I thought there would be plenty on the topic but all I'm finding is video gaming is a positive and how to get your library involved. I can't find information on libraries/librarians against video gaming in libraries. Do you have any suggestions? Know of any articles? Suggestions on search terms (libraries/librarians/problems/controversy/issues/videogames/video games/electronic games (which video games are under) are appreciated also. I need about 6 articles on it.

Thank you

I've got two friends seeking "Peace Corps alternative" experiences with the basic parameters of 1-3 months in a Spanish-speaking country developing water infrastructure. Got suggestions?

I'm trying to find information about female inmates in the American-run Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. I would like to know if any women have been held in Guantanamo since 2002 (I am not interested in female Haitian/Cuban refugees held prior to 1993). Thanks

I would like to know if the bacteria that are present in the castings of earthworms (particularly of red wigglers) are able to degrade petroleum chemicals.

Can anyone explain, in any way, the difference between a Community Land Trust (CLT) and a Community Development Corporation (CDC)? Pleeeezehelp!

I'd like to know if there are any simple, low-cost, easy to use methods for detecting lead in soil. The process of detecting heavy metals in the soils in New Orleans is necessitating the use of University resources and I would like to find a way to detect lead (or other heavy metals, or petroleum chemicals) that all residents can use who aren't able to utilize the same resources.

Is there any such method?

I am looking for assistance with finding statistics and trends related to the social, economic and political well-being of girls and young women in the Western Hemisphere and its sub-regions (Andean; Southern Cone; English, Dutch and French-speaking Caribbean, Central, South and North America. I am also trying to identify organizations within the region who are organizing to promote the voice and rights of girls and young women and/or building a progressive analysis or policy platform as it relates to advancing the interests of girls and young women. I appreciate your help and was delighted to learn about your organization at the U.S. Social Forum.
