Updated: CABA/CABH (Children's Africana Book Awards)

While I added only two awards yesterday, the number has gone up to 158. Why? I did a check of all the awards and found that I hadn't noted a few. After a careful cross-check of the calender, search drop-down, and master award code list, I found two more. Had some health issues in Dec. 2018 and Jan. 2019. Sorry for the serious delays in updating. I will continue to look for errors. Please contact me when you find one (or more).

06/14/2005   Records are 5,036. (I have read 1,933). I no longer have a main counter due to a server problem that lost my count. Search page counter, too, was ruined. It says 33,058 but I don't know from what point. Been a bad new year, with many work activities that have kept me from giving my attention to DAWCL. I am catching up, however, with my reading and my updating. We now have 61 awards in the database.

06/05/2002   DAWCL is available at its new URL: http://www.dawcl.com. It does not yet have the asp search engine I was hoping for, but I have added new awards, making the total 49. The style of the pages has been revised. It's cleaner and faster to load due to the fewer number of graphics. The javascript problem some people had with Internet Explorer is gone because I withdrew the script. I am still adding records (winners) for the new awards. There is a new author/illustrator/translator search to find people more easily. There are a few new hard-coded searches in the selections, for example East Indian under ethnicity, rural and urban for setting, future under period, and an update to the language other than English pull-down.  Why can't I make the publication year reverse to show most recent first?  I'll work on that.

Late in October, Mac's Pics (out of New Zealand) chose the database as a site of the week. Mid-October the site was chosen by the KIDS Report, affiliated with the Scout Report, as one of their highlighted sites. Two books, The Story of Mankind and The Voyages of Doctor Doolittle are now linked to full-text sites in the database. (It's not me providing it, only a link to other.) Those are the only two finally in the public domain. And because of Congress' extension of copyright, they will be the only ones for many years more. Attended CARL in October and gave a poster session on the database.

09/17/1999   I made a long promised addition to the database. I added the Orbis Pictus Award and Honor books, the Governor General Award, the Australian Children's Book of the Year Awards, the Kate Greeenaway Medal, the Carnegie Medal, the Sydney Taylor Award, and the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award. That's an addition of 326 records for a total of 2,851. (I have read 1,158.) There will be no further additions of awards for the rest of 1999 and into the first quarter of 2000. I need to read a great deal and make sure the records of the non-US awards are as complete as possible. Main page has 36,656 visits; search page has 24,811 visits.
     
09/06/1999   Records are 2,525. (I have read 1,147.) Main page has 34,016 visits; search page has 22,947 visits. I was interviewed for Weekend All Things Considered and the segment aired August 7, 1999. You can hear the segment off of the NPR Online homepage by clicking on <Archives>, then <August 1999>, then <August 7, 1999>, then <Kid's Book List>. It's a .ram file, so make sure you have Real Audio. The interview prompted an incredible increase in hits as well as a great deal of feedback from users, for which I am grateful.

On December 22nd, Rockbridge County High School Library Media Center in  Lexington, VA asked to link to the database.  Click "What's New"

Added to SSCED - Social Studies Center for Educator Development on their Web-Based Resources page.

     
12/12/1998   The keyword search was incorporated into the form search, making keyword searches more efficient for the users.
     
12/06/1998   Records are 1,729 (I have read 704). Main page has 8320 visits; search page has 5157 visits; keyword search page has 1,606 visits. 

The site was recommended on Nov. 18th by Kay Vandergrift on CHILD_LIT which prompted interest. 

Because of many requests, I have included at 14+ option in the age search.  These books are also in a 12+ search because a mature twelve- or thirteen-year-old could read them, but their mature themes and language make them very good for older teen-agers, as well.  However, I firmly believe that many, if not all, of the 12+ books can, and should, be read by older readers. 

The guestbook was inadvertently down November 12th -17th.  I only hope those who didn't get on those days, came back later to sign in for updates. 

The problem for Internet Explorer and AOL's browser was solved November 18th. Yay! 

Several sites have asked to link to the database.  My only requests are that they link to the main page, rather than one of the search pages, and to let me know the URL.  Some of these sites include: 

Wichita Falls Public Library Kids' Page
Winnipeg School Division No. 1, Library Media ServicesReading

     
11/06/1998   Still finding small errors that can only be found by reading the books one by one. Working on a very large load for Christmas of the New York Times Best Illustrated and ALA Notables back to 1974. Records are still 1,729 (I have read 627). 

Main page has 3,611 visits; search page has 2,123 visits; keyword search page has 580 visits. People are starting to sign the guestbook and give me feedback, for which I am grateful. 

I found there is a problem for Internet Explorer and AOL's browser doing the form page search of the database, though they can do the keyword. I'm hoping that problem will be solved shortly. I reinstated the reverse in the year sort, so the most recently published books appear first, and year delimiting, which was recently lost in an ISP crash. 

Part of the great increase in hits and interest during the last weekend of October can be attributed to appearing in the Scout Report (Oct. 30, 1998). But I am also now on Yahoo (after a long delay), Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators, and The Internet Public Library. On 11/6/98 this site was chosen as site of the week at Children's Book Central. Added to Digital Librarian's latest links.

     
10/12/1998   I continue to review for errors.  Corrected programming error where WWI books were coming up in WWII search.  ISP's server crashed, so database unavailable October 10th and 11th, and lost all but two of the people on the guestbook file.  Jane Addams Award, Scott O'Dell Award, Boston Globe-Horn Book Honors, and ALA Notable Books for Children added back to 1984 are added to the database.  Number of records is 1,723; I have read 575.  Counter is at 257.
     
09/06/1998   Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winners added to database.  Minor errors cleaned up.  URL is submitted to many more directories and search engines using MMG Online Agency.  Number of records is 1369; I have read 512.  Counter restarted at zero; previously there were about 27 hits.
     
08/22/1998   Remaining summaries are put in the database if they are available. URL is submitted to Yahoo, Excite, Hotbot, Infoseek , and Infomine.
     
08/19/1998   ALA Notables to 1988 added to database.  Number of book records is 1330; I have read 507.
     
08/13/1998   After two weeks of reviewing and fiddling, the database is cleaner, though there are still a few gaps and errors.  The Edgar Allan Poe Awards for Juvenile Literature are added to the database. 
     
07/31/1998   The database is remounted with a Perl cgi to read the database using a keyword or a form query.  The number of book records is 1153; I have read 471 of them. 
     
08/1997   The first search form is mounted but uses cgi to mail to my e-mail address.  This a test page, and is not advertised. 
     
05/1997   The idea for the database is born due to Virginia Walter's class in children's literature at the University of California, Los Angeles and lurking on the listservs CHILD_LITand pubyac.  Intense bouts of data entry and reading follow for the next year.
