Extractions: ERIC Digest. Author: Lance, Keith Curry ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology, Syracuse, NY. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION Advocates of school library media programs have long been convinced of the relationship between quality library media programs and academic achievement. Most studies of this relationship were conducted between 1959 and 1979, were limited in scope, and usually used a small number of subjects in a limited geographical area. This study was designed both to update the existing research and to examine the relationship between library media programs and student achievement. METHODOLOGY Ideally, schools included in the sample for a study such as this would be selected on a random, stratified, or quota basis. None of these sampling designs was possible, because schools included in the sample had to have library media centers that responded to the 1989 survey of school library media centers in Colorado and had to use the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP). These data were available for only 221 of 1,331 public elementary and secondary schools in Colorado during the 1988-89 school year. The study relied entirely upon available data about school library media centers and their school and community contexts to predict norm-referenced test scores.

Extractions: After intense lobbying by library media specialists, the Florida Legislature last year appropriated $500,000 to help school libraries stay open beyond the regular school day. The state Department of Education distributed the new funding in February, through competitive grants of up to $60,000 per district. Nationwide, individual schools have experimented with extended library hours, but Florida schools appear the first to do so on a statewide basis, according to Donald Adcock, Coordinator for Program Support at the American Association of School Librarians.

Imposed Information Seeking In Public Libraries And School Library Media Centers

http://www.informationr.net/ir/6-2/paper100.html

Extractions: Tallahassee, FL 32306-2100 USA Abstract The imposed query model provides a new way of thinking about whom the user is in information proving organizations and environments. It does this by making a distinction between questions that are self-generated (internally motivated by personal context) and those that are imposed (thought up by one person then given to someone else to resolve). While the imposed query model represents familiar behaviour, it is a dimension of information seeking that has only recently been explicitly addressed and isolated for study. This article summarizes research on the imposed query in two different information providing contexts: the elementary school and the adult reference desk at the public library. Results reveal whom the imposers and agent users are in these environments and provide an assessment of how common imposed queries are in these contexts. Many models are available that represent the information seeking process ( Wilson , 1999). The majority of these models assume that individuals seek information and interact with information systems in response to their own, self-generated information needs. While these models do recognize that people go to other people as potential resource when in pursuit of information, the models fail to recognize that the default behaviour, when the person resource doesn't have the answer, doesn't have to be an interaction with information providing objects, organizations, or systems. Instead the person seeking information may ask someone to find the answer for them.

Extractions: Funded by the Florida Department of Education, SUNLINK is Florida's K-12 public school union catalog, a shared database of materials in Florida K-12 library media centers. Imagine a giant card catalog or electronic catalog that contains the records of all school library media centers in Florida! And you can ask to borrow any of them! That's SUNLINK! The database is available on the World Wide Web. The primary purpose of SUNLINK is to promote resource sharing among Florida public schools. Schools are able to locate needed resources and borrow them by project-established interlibrary loan procedures. In the 2001-2002 school year, 71,959 resource sharing transactions were reported by SUNLINK schools to the project office. Benefits and Obligations The SUNLINK statewide database of K-12 library media materials expands the resources available to Florida public school students. The annual database, instruction manual, and training are provided at no charge to all SUNLINK schools. Records converted for the project can be provided to the school on request. These MARC (machine readable cataloging) records meet national standards and may also be used to implement local building and/or district automated library systems.

http://www.fetc.org/fetcon/1200/gallagher.htm

Extractions: A Framework for Success, Hon. Tom Gallagher For almost a year the Bureau of Educational Technology has led an initiative to develop Florida's new Educational Technology Plan Framework. Committee members met throughout the winter and spring of this year to develop a shared vision and mission for the use of technology in the teaching and learning process. That vision has high student achievement as its core purpose. Six key goals provide shape and form to that vision in which every child in this state of great diversity can achieve more through the effective use of technology. Each of us has a role for the successful implementation of Florida's Educational Technology Plan. School and district leaders are instrumental to the successful use of technology by setting a climate of support, providing necessary resources and by modeling appropriate uses of technology. Teachers are essential in designing learning environments that facilitate engaged learning, with technology woven into activities. Parents and community members share their support through active involvement in school planning, their participation in school events and, in many cases, their expertise. The first goal in this new plan calls for equitable and effective access to modern technologies, both during and beyond the school day, and for technology resources standards to be developed and reviewed annually. Extending access to technology beyond the school day has become important for students in order to complete assignments and to have access to online resources. By keeping labs and media centers open longer, Florida can do its part to help eliminate the Digital Divide that currently exists throughout our country.

Extractions: Universal Access Project FDLRS/TECH works with the FDLRS Associate and Specialized Centers, SUNLINK, and Local Assistive Technology Specialists and other partners (see below) to support the Florida Universal Access Project. Universal Access: Using technology tools and strategies to provide access to critical curriculum and information resources in a variety of formats to meet the learning needs of students with a broad range of abilities. Like many of our students, we all have special needs from time to time. We might have to wear an arm cast. We lose our reading glasses. We can't remember how to spell a word. Most adults have learned to cope with temporary and even more lasting disabilities. But for our students, having special needs that go unmet can mean a frustrating and difficult learning experience - even when the problem is temporary. All students can learn with the right learning tools, adequate time, and assistance. Universal design implies that facilities and resources are conceived and constructed or arranged from the outset with multiple users in mind. Universal access implies that resources, services, and products are flexible and customizable, existing in a variety of formats to meet the needs of a broad range of students. In the school library media center that provides universal access, all students have access to appropriate tools, strategies, and information needed to be successful learners and achieve the Sunshine State Standards.

South Carolina School Library Media Centers
THE CRUCIAL YEARS school LIBRARY media centers. that only 15 states had school librarysupervisors. including North Carolina, Georgia, florida and Tennessee.
http://www.libsci.sc.edu/histories/school/slh04.html

Extractions: The Development of School Libraries in South Carolina The following speech was delivered by Margaret Ehrhardt on March 31, 1988 as the Third Annual Deans' Lecture of the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science. Ms. Ehrhardt was Supervisor of School Library Services for the South Carolina State Department of Education from 1970 until the early 1980s. THE CRUCIAL YEARS: SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS The years 1945-1985 were crucial years for school library programs, not only in South Carolina, but for the nation as well. The ALA Handbook for 1944 showed that only 15 states had school library supervisors. It was interesting to note that seven of these were Southern states, including North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Tonight I should like to explore with you some of the significant events that have helped to shape the development of school library media programs in our state. The first significant factor was the employment by the State Department of Education of the first Supervisor of Library Services. It is seldom that one can pinpoint the beginning of a library media program, but this is not true of school library media services in South Carolina. The date was March 29, 1946, and the time was 11:00. It was then that an announcement was made to the School Library Section of the South Carolina Education Association which was in session at University High School here in Columbia that the State Department of Education had received a grant from the General Education Board (of the Rockefeller Foundation) to employ a Library Supervisor. This was the first attempt to bring structure into what had been haphazard library development in the schools.
