Welcome
President of Florida Hospital College, Dr. David Greenlaw
The mission ties the college and hospital together
Florida Hospital is the largest hospital in the U.S.
John 10:10 - came to give us life, life to the full.
Creation Health - choice, rest, environment, activity, trust in Divine Power, interpersonal relationships, outlook, nutrition.
He told the story of Celebration Health and how Florida Hospital was the hospital to have Disney accept them for this project.
What we really do is love people.
3 recommended books
The God you want to know by Charlie Hedges
What you can expect from God, - good for small groups
"Christianity is the ultimate team sport."
No Christian ever lives alone, Christians live in relationship with God and with everyone
else around them.
If Disney ran your hospital, 9 things you would do differently by Fred Lee
The traveler's gift by Andy Andrews
The Lost Choice by Andy Andrews - a 4th book
At Florida Hospital we do a ton things and do them well. Every opportunity is an opportunity for helping personal transformation.
We need to think about the changing world we live in, must think about our services.
"We are not who we are by the talents and abilities we possess. We are who we are by the choices we make." Albert Dumbledore
What's in the box?
Thinking outside the box is more about the changes in the user population than about format.
FOCUS ON USERS, NOT LOCATION!
Change is now the rule, not the exception.
Don't marry one type of technology, but that gets hard when it comes to budgets.

Deanna: Announcements for Tuesday's trip to behind the scenes at Disney
Only take what we can carry
Absolutely no cameras
Bring nothing larger than 12" x 12" x 12"
On our own for lunch - bring money
BREAK
Bar service or library service? Let's compare.
Many come to a bar to study, environment is relaxing. Bartender often knows each person by name, use their name when they come in. Many students study better with some noise, better than in solitude. They can sit on the patio with a soda and study.
Bartender said, "I make a special whiskey for one professor who comes in each week to grade papers. No one else orders it, but I value him as a customer so much, I make what he wants."
Film and television very much mirror society.
Bartenders catalog drinks.
They go to bartender school, take psychology, and interview reference skills.
I wanted to find out what media clips have items in them that deal with libraries.
The whole idea is about service, not necessarily a café, but about making a difference in the lives of students.
Only by changing our mental models, the way we think, can we change deeply imbedded policies.
LUNCH BREAK
Defining "thinking outside the box"
What are the historical roots of the expression?
How do we change our mind set? Our box is too small.
Think of change as an opportunity, a way to make a difference in the lives of people we serve.
Presented a checklist of librarian skills needed in the 21st Century
Eagerness to learn, intellectual curiosity .....
We need to create goals outside our routine duties.
Libraries exist to make the academic programs succeed. Are the people we serve really helped? We must find expanded definitions of our mission.
Accrediting bodies are concerned with:
Where does learning take place? How do we learn?
In the library how do we determine learning has taken place?
Don't forget about humor, how to laugh.
Think about ASDAL,
We buy things together, share costs, do more with less money.
Can we do more things cooperatively?
We need to promote new ways to share and promote ideas, thinking outside the box.
There are some boxes worth keeping! Don't throw all the boxes away, the desire to serve, etc. The way we do our job will change, however.
If we don't think outside the box, we may not fail, we may become invisible!

BUSINESS SESSION I
Paulette Johnson, President of ASDAL, called the meeting to order.
Look at the agenda and ask for your approved of the Agenda.
Tony Zbaraschuck has been appointed as parliamentarian for the business sessions. Purchased Roberts Rules of Order for the parliamentarian.
President's Report - Paulette Johnson
Paulette showed the award given ASDAL from AVLN. This award is given to an organization that has demonstrated a powerful spirit of networking and collaboration in Adventist education.
Ann Greer was appointed as liaison to AVLN.
It was recommended to the Constitution & Bylaws Commitee that the position be a part of the officers of ASDAL and be called Distance Education Coordinator.
Paulette sent letters to presenters and most participants from last year's conference.
Alberta Holman is at home, has cancer, but is doing quite well. Paulette visited her about a week ago.
Wendy Young brought a letter last year and another letter this year saying that Helderberg College will host ASDAL in 2007.
As of Dec. 31, 2003, there was $8,260.19 in the D. Glen Hilts Scholarship fund. There was one request for the scholarship this year from a young man from British Columbia.
Mrs. Marguerite Hilts passed away in May. She is the widow of Glen Hilts. We have written letters of condolence to her two sisters.
Last year there was an increase in dues from $10.00 to $20.00. At that time we said the increase would be used for publicity as well as possible subsidy for librarians to attend ASDAL. The Executive committee has 3 proposals of how to use the additional money gathered from dues.
Purchase an ad in the special issue of Journal of Adventist Education relating to libraries, expected to come out Dec2004/Jan 2005.
In collaboration with the School Library Section we want to create an innovative power point/online presentation that can be delivered at local conference educational gatherings by local librarians, The focus will be to all teachers, not just librarians on the importance of information literacy and how working together with librarians can enhance academic achievement of students and the working relationship of the faculty.
In light of GC and ASDAL, would like to plan a special day of workshops for International librarians. If you are interested in working with this international conference contact Lauren Matacio or Sabrina Riley.
In the Reference Librarians breakout session, we would like that group to brainstorm ideas for the PowerPoint/online presentation and bring the information back to Paulette.
Constitution & Bylaws Committee has an important item to report on. It is the location of the archives in relation to Andrews University/Center for Adventist Research. We have a document outlining the relationship between ASDAL and CAR.
Executive Committee is recommending to Constitution and Bylaws that ASDAL as an organization become a member of the Adventist Professionals' Network. You can also join as an individual member. It is free to join. Your professional services can be advertised.
Auditing of ASDAL finances. Executive Committee would like to recommend that at the end of each treasurer's three year term, there will be an audit for ASDAL finances. We are in the process of identifying three auditors 1. External auditor withing the treasurer's geographic location, 2. GC auditor, 3. Auditor from treasurer's institution.

There are other positions available on the web. Several have been filled. Electronic Resources Librarian at Southern has been filled. Southwestern has a new director beginning in August, Christina Thompson.
Moved to accept the President's report as presented
Voted
Distance Education coordinator - will have a change in the name and job description.
Money from increased dues to be used for three proposals outlined by Paulette previously.
Moved
Voted both issues
Overseas coordinator — may not be necessary to have an oversees coordinator now, term will expire in 2005. Do we eliminate the position when it expires or do we continue with an overseas coordinator? The position was set up to include oversees librarians in the organization, to coordinate professional development for these librarians/libraries. A bigger need would be for ASDAL to look at a systems approach from the church's perspective. They need someone from the church administrative level to coordinate them. The position could be as a liaison between the church's education department and ASDAL. We do get requests for a recommended standard bibliography for starting up or upgrading an overseas library.
Would like to see the position continue.
Can ASDAL connect with GC Education dept to help oversees libraries with some of these problems?
Moved to continue the position of oversees coordinator, and review the job description for
possible changes.

BREAK
I am not the only author here. Dan Drazen has written two books on Samuel. He does an excellent job.
The theme for your conference really sparked some thoughts in my mind. I want to show how the theme applies to what I do.
As a child when I read the Biblical stories, I simply accepted what was there in front of me. As I grew up, I wanted to be a history major. By the time I got my Masters Degree, I was uncomfortable with the Bible Stories. What bothered me was the historical inaccuracies I found. I decided to write the story of Joseph, but let's have it historically accurate. Let's set it completely in the historical culture of the times. I could do that, because as a historian I am trained in how to do historical research. I took two correspondence courses from the Institute of Children's Literature. They taught me the craft of writing, the value of feedback. Editing is absolutely essential to what I do and I had to learn that.
My audience is young adult to adult, I can't write for children. My mind doesn't work that way. The more I got into the research, the more a whole new world opened up. I learned with Biblical narrative, it is there because it is significant. There are no insignificant details in Biblical narrative. If there is a tiny detail, it is significant.
I had to get out of my box and into Joseph's to really understand the story and what was going on. I could not approach it from my cultural background. I was going to miss the story.
I did my research, I have over 1500 note cards for Joseph alone. I had all the facts, but what do those facts mean?. I had to learn about the society, the culture, in 1600BC what was going through people's minds? What were they worried about? What were their attitudes about other people? What did they value?
Let's take one question I had to answer. We're told in the Biblical narrative that Joseph was terrified when his brothers sold him. Why? We have an automatic answer to that question. He was going to be a slave. His brothers sold him so his blood would not be on their hands. I looked at research notes, what did I have on slavery? Our concept is what we know of American slavery in the 1800's. Slavery in Bible times wasn't anything like what happened in the U.S. My automatic reaction to that question can't be true. What was slavery like back then? Slaves could marry and have a family. You could not be separated from your family. Slaves could own property, even other slaves. They could work on their own, earn money. If they earned enough, they could buy themselves back. Slaves rights were protected by the law. They could rise to supervisory positions. Slavery was not tied to geography or race. Anybody could become a slave. Slavery was simply a set of social restrictions. Everybody was socially restricted to a greater or lesser extent. You could move on the social ladder. A lot did depend on who owned you. It wasn't something that would produce the kind of terror Joseph had. If it wasn't that, what was it? I found the answer in the oddest place. The Bible is not a record of God's working with man. The Bible is a record of God's working in a foreign culture. Remember that! God stays in that culture just as he stays in ours today. The answer was in the difference in the way an individual was perceived between now and back then. In Bible times you asked "who are you?" I'm the daughter of, ______, wife of _________, mother of ______, I'm the sister of __________, the cousin of ________, the former student of Mr. Bruce McClay, and oh, I'm called Terri. You replied with your list of connections to a group. That's what made you important, your connection. If you lost your connections to the group, you lost your value. It also gave you a claim on consideration by society. How much consideration I am due depends on what society thinks of my particular group. You've heard the phrase, "what will the neighbors think?" In Biblical times literally what the neighbors thought could mean life or death to you. If I lose my connection to the group, I have no identity. I have become an outsider. Order exists only to protect the group. Therefore, I am an enemy.
Groups and gods.
Group identity was derived completely from geographical location. All geographical locations
belonged to a god, some god somewhere. The god's power extended only over the territory his
people occupied. If you wanted to increase the power and glory of your god, there was one way
to do it, conquer more territory. This resulted in a deal between gods and men. Men needed
gods to protect them from enemies, keep famine away by controlling the weather. Gods needed
men to worship them, go and fight wars to increase their territory and their power.
When God talks to Abraham, he always does so in the context of "let's make a deal." It's because of this thought pattern about men and gods. Wars were always double layered, the war below and the war up above. What happened below reflected what happened above. If you lost a war, your god lost. If you had bad weather, your god was mad. God says, "I'll always send the rains on time, you will always have the crops."
Traveling was risky, if ,you went into another territory, your god couldn't operate in some other god's territory. You must respect the god of the territory you were in. Social ties went from ties to the family, to the clan, then to the tribe if there was one, then to the king. The king was tied directly to the god. The god was always tied to a specific location. They are all connected in this world.
Why was Joseph afraid? He was cut off from family, land and tribe. He therefore, in the human end of things, had absolutely no value and can claim no consideration whatsoever from anybody else. His brothers sold him to Ishmaelites to Egypt. He was cut off from his God. His last hope is gone. That is what terrified Joseph!
How did Joseph find hope? He remembered the stories of his family and El-Shaddai. He would have remembered the story of Abraham and Pharaoh. God said, "Come to my land." Remember the story of Abraham and how he tells Pharaoh Sarah is his sister. The entire cultural box Abraham is living in tells him that God can't operate in another country. El-Shaddai operates in Egypt. Joseph is going to Egypt, that is where Joseph found hope. The story isn't about Abraham's lack of faith, but an incredible illustration that there was a God back in Canaan that can do things in Egypt. Pharaoh thinks, "get rid of this guy and let him take his God with him." Joseph knows this story and is going to Egypt. That is where Joseph found hope. Maybe God will help me, he did something here in times past.
When I write books like Joseph, the main thing I struggle with is to keep myself within the box
of the character. I have to approach the Biblical story from cultural mind set of the character to
whom the story is happening. And that can be a big challenge, but when you do it, so much steps
off the page. This richness spills over into other stories.
Moses - build a tabernacle, a mobile temple, I'll dwell among you, a mobile God, a movable
God. I'm not tied to a geographic location.
Ruth - decision to leave Moab and come to Israel. Abraham was called, Ruth wasn't. Ruth came
over and said, "I've heard stories about you and I think you'll accept me if I ask."
One of the other ways we impose our box on Biblical boxes is so strong it even gets into Bible translations. Psalms 51:5 - David's lament psalm. IKJV says, "Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me." Born in sin means illegitimate. Get an NIV and read the same verse. "Surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." That's the concept we call original sin. Read the Hebrew - 2 words for conceive, one referred to the human being, The word which David uses is the word normally applied to animal conception and carries with it the connotation of extreme lust. Our cultural box is so strong, we don't believe what David says. It's hard to leave behind one box and step into another.
I hope I have illustrated some of the rewards of stepping out of the box into another character. That is what I try to do when I write my books. I do not tell the story from a twentieth-century perspective.
What characters are you working on next?
The book on Ruth is finished.
I am doing a series on David, have written the 1st book, when I leave ASDAL, must write the 2nd
book.
