This paper describes a study of the teaching of knowledge organization in formal library/information courses. It is based on a questionnaire survey of academic institutions and professional associations in the UK, Australia and the USA, and of employers in various sectors in the UK, and supported by several in-depth interviews with educational specialists, and an analysis of the literature and of course content.The main findings are that: there is little divergence between the views of educators and employers/professional associations; all groups regard theoretical and conceptual knowledge as more important than practical skills; 'cat and class' retains its central role in the topic; there is an important role for continuing professional development.

One route to preventing child behavior disorders and adjustment problems is the enhancement of parent competence. This paper reviews three preventive parent education programs conducted at a community mental health center. One program provides child behavior advice in pediatric practices, another is a class that teaches child management skills to parents of preschoolers, and a third is a more specialized behavior management class for parents of children with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Program evaluations indicate that the interventions improve parent skills, child behavior and parent-child interaction. The contribution to the prevention of serious behavior problems is highlighted.

Kidwell and Winker (1996) describe the Andrade Member of the Latrania Formation, Imperial Group as a marine progradation (transgression) over the non-marine fanglomerate of their Garnet Formation, Split Mountain Group in the Coyote Mountains (CM). Our detailed mapping in the CM indicates that their Garnet Formation is composed of several (4+) distinct fresh-water fanglomerates. We also have divided their Andrade Member into several (8+) transgression-regressional (T-R) marine (Imperial Group) sequences that bracket some of our fresh-water fanglomerates. The transgressions have a recognizable, predictable and repeated marine sedimentary sequence consisting of a basal conglomerate followed by sandstone and then a mudstone. These marine sedimentary sequences are capped by unconformities representing regressions. Imperial marine sediments interfingers with one of our freshwater fanglomerates. Fresh water limestones are associated with at least two of our fanglomerates. Our fresh-water fanglomerates and T-R marine sequences make up our Viejo Formation (VF).The lower part of the VF has a siltstone (Woodring's Outcrops [ Morgan and Morgan, 2015]) that is interbedded with basalts of the Alverson Formation (17 Ma, Morgan et al., 2012). The youngest member of the VF has a distinctive basal conglomerate ( Dark Cuesta Member [DCM]), described as having resistant, well-rounded, quartz rich pebbles in a course, granitic, arkosic matrix with granitic lithic fragments. The matrix and lithic fragments are responsible for the desert varnish that is often found on this member. We believe this youngest basal conglomerate may be, in part, reworked from a run out debris flow that came from an unidentified granitic terrane. When this basal conglomerate was being deposited, younger VF already covered the CM. Winker and Kidwell (1996) describe the Latrania Formation as a marine turbidite section in a subsiding basin in the Fish Creek-Vallecito-Split Mountain area. The VF is made up of marine transgressions and regressions intermingling with fresh-water sediments deposited at sea level on the subsiding CM. An early part of the VF was deposited in the Basin and Range extensional environment when the CM were in the State of Sonora,
