Title: Getty Announces New Program Lifting Restrictions on Use of Digital Images
Body: From http://news.getty.edu/press-materials/press-releases/getty-open-content-images.htm The J. Paul Getty Museum collects in seven distinct areas, including Greek and Roman antiquities, European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculpture and decorative arts, and photographs gathered internationally. The Museum's mission is to make the collection meaningful and attractive to a broad audience by presenting and interpreting the works of art through educational programs, special exhibitions, publications, conservation, and research. On August 12, the Getty announced that it was lifting restrictions on the use of images to which the Getty holds all the rights or are in the public domain. As a result, there are roughly 4,600 images from the J. Paul Getty Museum available in high resolution on the Getty's website for use without restriction—representing 4,689 objects (some images show more than one object), including paintings, drawings, manuscripts, photographs, antiquities and sculpture and decorative arts. The Getty plans to add other images, until eventually all applicable Getty-owned or public domain images are available, without restrictions, online.

Title: Book: Minority Populations in Canadian Second Language Education
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783090297 Minority Populations in Canadian Second Language Education By Katy Arnett and Callie Mady Published by Multilingual Matters Until now, the picture painted of French second language learning in Canada has tended to focus on successful French immersion. This volume offers a broader representation, in response to the demographic changes that have made the French language classroom a more complex place. Focusing on inclusion and language maintenance, the chapters discuss how a multilingual population can add the two official languages to their repertoire whilst maintaining their languages of origin/heritage; how the revitalization of Indigenous languages can best be supported in the language classroom, and how students with disabilities can be helped to successfully learn languages.

Title: Call for Manuscripts: A Handbook to Implement Educational Programs, Practices, and Policies for English Language Learners
Body: Information Age Publishing (IAP) is looking for manuscripts that take as their topic the full range of bilingual-bicultural education issues in PreK-16 education. Contributions need to examine the most informed and effective instructional programs, practices and policies for English Language Learners (ELLs) in this era of Common Core Standards. The content of each manuscript should focus on the state of the art and research on successful programs and practices for instructing ELLs with new evidence-based developments in the field. Because policy decisions influence practice, we are very interested in the implications and implementation of policies to encourage conversations that inspire changes in practice that lead to improved learning in classrooms with ELLs. Manuscript Submissions Authors should follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed., 2009) when preparing manuscripts. Manuscripts must include an abstract of approximately 150 words (maximum of 1200 characters, including spaces) that succinctly summarizes the key points. Manuscripts cannot exceed 30 pages, including references, tables, and figures. Authors should also list two to five key words to identify the contents of their paper. Submit manuscripts in Microsoft Word format, via email to the address below: Liliana Minaya-Rowe, wirakocha at aol dot com Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2013 Information Age Publishing (IAP) Call for Manuscripts: A Handbook to Implement Educational Programs, Practices, and Policies for English Language Learners. NCELA List (NCELA@HERMES.GWU.EDU, 21 Aug 2013).
