Inventory 76 PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA TO BE AUTOMATED WITH SIRS MANDARIN M3 SIRS Mandarin, Inc. announces that 76 public schools in Indianapolis, Indiana will be automating their library collections with the SIRS Mandarin M3 Library Automation System. SIRS Mandarin was selected the library automation vendor of choice by the Indianapolis Public School District, which serves more than 45,000 students. The contract includes the M3 networkable Core Package, district-wide Internet access and training. The school district also plans to convert approximately half a million records contained in its district-wide union file using SIRS Mandarin¹s retrospective conversion services. "The Indianapolis Public School District is excited about converting our media centers to the M3 system. It will increase and improve our opportunities to service and assist our students, staff and community using state-of-the-art software," stated Donna Smith, Program Coordinator of the Indianapolis Public School District media centers.

"We tried not only to find the latest features on the market," explained Smith, "but also features which were unique to the needs of Indianapolis public schools."

Middle Grades Reform: Pitfalls... Callison, D., Knuth, R. (1994). The AIME Statewide Survey of school Library mediaCenters Expenditures and Collections. indiana media Journal, 16, 110113. http://www2.evansville.edu/mgrnweb/pitfalls.html
Extractions: by Jack W. Humphrey We think we are doing the right thing in the middle grades. We think that if we eliminate a specifically designated time for reading, if we reduce the purchase of school library books, we can shift responsibility for reading from reading teachers and school librarians to all middle-grades teachers, who will, in turn, provide the expertise, time, and resources needed to engage youth with books. We are wrong. Think about the important work that art, English, health, home economics, industrial arts, mathematics, music, physical education, social studies, and science teachers need to accomplish. They must keep abreast of their fields of study, maintain materials from beakers to globes, and provide suitable instruction for their students. It would be wonderful if these teachers had classroom sets of books, read to their students, and promoted voluntary reading. It would be wonderful if these teachers had the time and training to support those students struggling to read materials at their grade level. But for this to happen, it would take enormous amounts of professional development and classroom sets of materials, and this simply has not happened in most Indiana middle-grades schools. While we engage in rhetoric about school reform, our middle-grades library book collections decline, even though we have clear evidence that the size of a school library's staff and collection is the best school predictor of academic achievement (Lance, Welborn, and Hamilton-Pennell, 1992). A book company representative recently related that a teacher had told her his school was converting to the middle-school concept and therefore was eliminating reading classes. A counselor from a middle school recently asked the Middle Grades Reading Network about how to make programs available to her students. It was recommended that the counselor work with a key reading teacher and the school librarian so that they could develop a plan. This was not possible. There are no reading teachers in the school, and the school librarian is interested only in technology. Circumstances have damaged the whole reading foundation for these two schools.

The funding is part of CDC's Prevention Research Initiative, an effort to link the talents and skills of university-based scientists with the resources of health departments, community-based programs, and national organizations. "The awards ensure that public health research activities address problems affecting the nation's communities," says Dr. Jeffrey P. Koplan, director of the CDC. "The grants will help CDC and its partners conduct research that can directly improve community health and reduce the need for medical care." The grants cover a range of subjects, including prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, asthma, genetics and home, workplace and recreational injuries. (See complete list attached.) Activities include centers of excellence in prevention research, research projects to inform public policy, and research investigator training and development. The average grant is approximately $250,000. Most projects are funded for three years.

Email us Collaborative Planning in the Community for Library Media Centers and Technology Programs , p.26 Collaborative planning is defined as the teaming of teachers, library media specialists, and technology specialists to create exciting learning experiences that take advantage of the information-rich and technology-rich environment of the school. No other concept of the role of the library media center program is more central or more vital to its success. Research of library media programs draws the conclusion that collaborative planning is a strong link to achievement of learners. Collaborative planning turns the library media program and technology program from passive to active school initiatives. Judging by the amount of money required to build and maintain viable LMC and technology programs, a passive program is simply unacceptable. There are too many voices requesting funding to support any program not carrying its weight in meeting the requirements of PL 221.
