Extractions: 10. SUNLINK can increase student achievement. Many research studies indicate the positive effects that adequate and varied school resources have on student achievement. And one of the best predictors of student achievement is size of the collection. SUNLINK gives students access to over 16 million items through interlibrary loan. 9. SUNLINK increases students' access to information. With SUNLINK, not only do students have access to information and materials in other school library media centers in the district and the state, but SUNLINK's powerful search capabilities provide better access to materials in their own schools. Students can search by keyword, title, author, date, format and language to find the best information sources to meet their needs. Information and technology skills are imbedded throughout the Sunshine State Standards. More importantly, students need the skills that will help them locate, evaluate, and use information in many formats, and they need to learn to use technology efficiently and effectively because these are skills required in almost every occupation today. 7. SUNLINK provides teachers with access to resources that support the Sunshine State Standards.

Extractions: All of these media centers serve as the technology wellspring for their schools. Using technology is no longer a luxury in the field of school libraries, but a requirement," wrote one of the finalists of the 1997 Gale DISCovering Program/MultiMedia Schools Information Technology Award. In school after school where this premise is only partially understood, technology is an "add-on"something that is tacked on to a school program, not seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the school community. Not so in the five school media centers that earned a place in this year's Gale Research/MultiMedia Schools "winner's circle." All of these media centers serve as the technology wellspring for their schools. In these schools technology is harnessed; it is put to work for educational goals in the media center and throughout the school. It is not an "add-on," but the backbone that leverages information resources well beyond the walls of the media center. "Our goal is to achieve a library without walls and an information center without limits," wrote another finalist. In order to achieve this vision, media specialists are actively engaging themselves in school activities. Ongoing staff development provided by the media center has created a "teacher renewal," observed a middle school principal. "Technology helps bring people together" and creates a different learning experience for both teachers and students. What about those teachers who are reluctant to get involved with the technology? One student put us straight on that: "Teachers get reputations [among the students] you know. Students know which teachers stand up in front of the podium and lecture, and they don't sign up for those courses...."

Extractions: May 1997 ATSDR AND EPA Warn the Public About Continuing Patterns of Metallic Mercury Esposure Metallic mercury is a hazardous chemical that can cause serious health problems. Children (especially very young children) and fetuses are most vulnerable. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), part of the U.S. Public Health Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are jointly issuing an alert to the general public. There is a continuing pattern of metallic mercury exposure in children and teenagers and in persons using certain folk medicines or participating in certain ethnic or religious practices. It is important for the general public to understand that either short-term or long-term exposures to metallic mercury can lead to serious health problems. Human exposure to metallic mercury occurs primarily from breathing contaminated air. Other forms of mercury can be absorbed by drinking contaminated water, eating food (usually fish containing mercury), and from skin contact. At high levels, metallic mercury can cause effects on the nervous system and the developing fetus. Other forms of mercury can damage other organs. Even at low levels, metallic mercury can cause health problems.
