Serving Library Users from Asia
Asian populations are among some of the fastest growing cultural groups in the US. While books on serving other target groups in libraries have been published (e.g., disabled, Latino, seniors, etc.), few books on serving library users of Asian heritage have been written. Thus the timely need for this book. Rather than a generalized overview of Asians as a whole, this book has 24 separate chapters—each on 24 specific Asian countries/cultures of East, Southeast, and South Asia—with a wealth of resources for understanding, interacting with, outreaching to, and serving library users of each culture. Resources include cultural guides (both print and online), language helps (with sample librar...
Leadership Mentoring in Education

The author explores the learning through formal mentoring that could be of significance in the professional development of aspiring school leaders, and highlights a known practice of leading, learned through leadership mentoring, for an unknown future. TARGET AUDIENCE: Policy-makers, researchers, tertiary students, teachers and all those interested in the mentorship of school leaders in Singapore.
Personal Agency Beliefs in Self-regulation
Self-regulatory processes have predominantly been linked to the study of academic achievement in terms of learning behavior, cognitive engagement, and specific academic performance measures. If poorly regulated, academic behavior can have repercussions on social adaptation. Motivational processes constitute the other key element in ensuring successful regulation, as studies indicate that self-regulation can effectively influence achievement outcomes if learners have positive beliefs about their personal ability to negotiate difficulties and work towards the desired learning outcomes. This book takes a critical look at the role of self-regulatory processes and personal agency beliefs in academic and social self-regulatory functioning, providing the reader with theoretical understanding of the issues and lending empirical support to the relevance of these processes in the East Asian educational context. In this way, the study explores the extent to which self-regulation and personal agency beliefs can offer an alternative explanation for the academic performance of students.
Constructing Singapore
"Constructing Singapore" studies Singaporean nation-building by focusing on two processes: elite formation and elite selection. It gives primary attention to the role that ethno-racial ascription plays in these processes, but also considers the input of personal connections, personal power, class and gender. It is a study of the progress of Singapore's state-sponsored nation-building project to its current state whereby a Singaporean version of Chinese ethno-nationalism has overwhelmed the discourse on national and Singaporean identity. Based upon archival research and formal interviews, this study unpacks the culture of elite governance in Lee Hsien Loong's Singapore today

Transition from School to Work
This is an ethnographic research study on the transition from school to work (TSW) experiences of nine Form Five school leavers in Malaysia who possess different academic abilities and who came from different family and ethnic backgrounds. This study examines how they resolve the work-study dilemma as well as how they made their career choices, indicating that career decisions are linked to the culture and identities of the subjects. In this book, the author endeavors to bring to attention the subjects experiences as they navigate their way through the social structures that confront them throughout this transitional period. Through the descriptions of their life stories and experiences, he seeks to highlight the dilemmas faced by the young men as well as the often difficult and painful process of decision-making in their TSW. Attention has also been drawn to the structural constraints that they encounter and also the resources and strategies they employ to deal with these constraints
Interactive Learning for School Leaders
Interactive Learning for School Leaders discusses the design of interactive intelligent computer simulation systems as instructional tools for teaching school leadership. These simulations enable leaders to acquire the ability to frame and solve school problems, and to obtain declarative and procedural knowledge simultaneously. Besides exploring the impact of knowledge acquisition among school leaders, the potential of using these simulations as stand-alone instructional tools is also discussed.
