The secret of using your time ef-fectively is to be sure that every action you take supports your goals and job requirements. However, this is usually easier said than done. Instead of check-ing things off a to-do-list, make sure each item on your list is tied to one of your main goals.
5. Schedule creative or challenging activities for your peak hours. For exam-ple, if you are a morning person, schedule a negotiation at 8:00a.m. and return your calls at 3:00pm. 6. Do less. Spend your time doing those things that only you can do. Use delegation to develop employees and help them grow so they can take on more re-sponsibility. Source:

Follow these guidelines:
1. Review your goals regularly. Each week, review your goals and link them to your activities for the week. This will help you stay on target. 2. Prioritize your efforts. Ask yourself whether each activity takes you closer to your goals. Prioritize tasks that contribute to those objec-tives. 3. Set deadlines for all critical activities. Then, do what’s neces-sary to meet them. This will boost your self-esteem and establish your credibility. 4. Plan your day in advance. Each day, plan your schedule for tomorrow to support your goals. Remember to allow some flexibility to handle emergencies and leave room to respond to last minute changes.

Phillip Poindexter, Retired Professor of So-cial Work and Sociology at Prairie View A&M University on March 30. The program was held in the Public Events Room 108 and followed with a reception in room 109. Poindexter discussed her new book, Campus Children: won-derland in Pantherland. The book is a historical account of some of the children who lived on the campus of Prairie View during the 30s, 409s and 50s. Poindexter explained how the children of Prairie View stayed en-gaged with everything on the campus and learned how to build friendships with each other. From being involved in campus outings to classroom settings, the children of Prairie View stayed connected to the campus. “As a child of the Prairie View campus, I learned how to build comradeship that has lasted over 30 years now. I will al-ways be connected to the campus, stated Poindexter.” According to Poindexter’s biography, she was born on the cam-pus of Prairie View College, in the old hospital. The hospital was lo-cated on the site of the Delco Build-ing. She is the older of two daugh-ters born to Rev. and Mrs. Lee C. Phillip. Her father was the first Dean of the Chapel at the university.

Poindexter stated that the children of Prai-rie View now make up parts of the rich history of not only the university but the city as well. “As children, we played and enjoyed each other’s company and learned that we could be the best if we just put our minds to it, stated Poindexter.” Poindexter graduated from Prai-rie View College in 1955 with a major in Sociology and a minor in Business Ad-ministration. She furthered her education and received a Master of Social Work degree from Howard University and be-gan a career as a Medical Social Worker, in Texas and Maryland.

She later received a Certifi-cate in Gerontology from the University of North Texas in 1980. She introduced Gerontology courses to the social work program.

The John B. Coleman Library held its annual National Library Worker’s Day Guest Speaker Series during National Library Week on April 13, 2010. The 2010 American Library Association's National Li-brary Week theme was Communities Thrive @ Your Library. The guest speaker for the National Library Worker’s Day lecture was Ms. Anika Sala, Manager, Shrine of the Black Madonna Cultural Center and Bookstore in Houston Texas. The event was held in the Public Events Room 108 of the li-brary. Sala engaged the audience with information about the impor-tance of libraries and librarians. She discussed how libraries helped to form not only her life but her com-munity as well. “The library was almost the only outlet or gathering place that I had in the neighbor-hood. The librarians reached out to me and others in the community.” Anika Sala’s biological or given name by her mother is Diana Worthy. She took the African Name, given to her by the Shrines of the Black Madonna as Anika Sala (which means Sensitive and Loving).
Sala was born and grew up in Detroit, Michigan, the Motor City, where it was a very powerful experience for her. Sala said, “The city was very conscious in both socially and politically aspects of peo-ple. The experiences I had growing up in Detroit, Michigan helped to shape my life into the person that I have become today.” Librarians and libraries have been a very important part to Sala’s journey in life. For as far back as she can remember; she has always frequented the library. Sala said, “The librarians helped me begin the journey of reading about all types of sub-jects, people and places. Librarians and Libraries also helped me to realize to al-ways be a part of something bigger in life that helps people move forward for pros-perity and hope,” said, Sala. Sala discussed how the students should always be engaged on how to make their surroundings better, and to always remain passionate about reading and learning. Sala attended Wayne State Uni-versity and majored in Business. In 1972, she joined the Shrine of the Black Madonna where she has been a member for more than 30 years. Sala moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1975 where she stayed for 10 years in the Shrines of the Black Madonna located in Atlanta. She moved to Houston, Texas in 1988 and started working for the Hous-ton’s Shrine of the Black Madonna Cul-tural Center and Book-store. I”I feel hon-
ored to be working at this Fine Cultural Inst i tu t ion,” said Sala. S a l a also said, “I enjoy working at the Shrine because I am able to con-nect more with people of my heritage. I am able to help
people connect with their culture and be enlightened by the rich knowledge of the
African Diaspora.” Sala said, “ I see peo-ple’s lives being touched as they look through the Shrine’s Culture Center and they leave with a better understanding of Africa and the African American culture than when they came in.” Her work experience at the Shrine of the Black Madonna includes managing the Shrine’s Cultural Center and Book-store. The Shrine has brought many people into Sala’s life. From educators, historians, civil rights’ workers, editors, poets, librarians, comedians, and many more, Sala has gained a wealth of knowledge and infor-mation from all the people that she has

The John B. Coleman Library at Prairie View A&M University joined libraries of all types across the nation, Septem-ber 26 to October 3, 2009, in celebrating the Ameri-
can Library Association’s (ALA) annual recognition of Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read. The theme last year was: “Speak, Read, Know” Banned Books Week is observed during the last week of September each year. Observed since 1982, the annual event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. Banned Books Week celebrates the free-dom to choose or the freedom to express
one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. Some of the books that were chal-lenged, restricted or banned due to sex, profanity and racism in 2008-2009 were: To Kill a Mocking Bird by Lee Harper, The Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, The Ad-ventures of Huckleberry Fin by, Mark Twain ( Samuel L. Clemens).
The library held special activities during the week that included: Check out a banned book and get a free "Speak, Read, Know" button and a bookmark; Patrons
had the opportunity to write the name of banned book that they had read on the giant Banned Books Week banner located in the front lobby of the library; Patrons viewed displays of banned books in the front lobby display cases.

The John B. Coleman Library in conjunction with Lauren Kelley, M.F.A., Library Art Curator and Art History Ad-junct Professor at Prairie View A&M Uni-versity showcased four art galley presenta-tions during 2009-2010. From exhibits on Evidence of Faith to a Student Art Exhibi-tion to a retrospective exhibit on Gordon Parks, America’s most accomplished 20th Century artist, the library and Kelley pre-sented talented art at its highest forms, features and functions.
Prairie View A&M University was proud to present Gordon Parks: Crossroads, a 45-photograph retrospec-tive exhibit celebrating the life work of one of America’s most accomplished 20th century artists Gordon Parks (1912-2006). A photographer, poet, novelist, composer, musician and filmmaker, Parks spent a lifetime shattering barri-ers in his pursuit of truth, beauty, social justice and artistic expression. Gordon Parks: Crossroads was on view in the John B. Coleman Library, 4th Floor Art Gallery, from July 2009 through an extension to October 16, 2009. All photographs were courtesy of the Gordon Parks Foundation and the Howard Greenberg Gallery. The ex-hibit was organized by art2art Circulat-ing Exhibitions. Parks was born in Fort Scott, Kansas, the youngest of fifteen children of a tenant farmer. In 1938 Parks pur-chased his first camera at a pawn shop. He pursued his new passion with gusto: within months, despite his lack of for-mal training, his probing portraits of African-American women were exhib-ited in the windows of the Eastman Kodak store in Minneapolis. Parks became the first black photographer to join the FSA, and shortly thereafter made his signature image, “American Gothic.”

“Retiring is not the end of your life, it is really just the beginning of it”, said Kirby. The age of Kirby and her 10 years of service to Prairie View A&M University is what lead to her official retirement status. Kirby’s first job at the library was part-time library assistant in the Periodicals Department. She moved to the Technical Services Depart-ment in 2000. Kirby stated that a good work philosophy is to always come to work on time and do the work to the best of your ability, plus respect others. Kirby said, “My favorite motto is do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Kirby has worked about 10 years in the Technical Services De-partment and found the job very interesting. “I enjoyed working in the department because I got a chance to see the collection of
