LSTA Grants For School Library Media Centers What Is LSTA loan transactions; and support for the utah Regional Library for academic, public,private/research libraries, school library media centers and library http://www.uelma.org/conven01/grants.htm
Extractions: LSTA required each state to develop its own Five-Year Plan for allocating funding to libraries. A new LSTA Advisory Council worked to draft this plan, set priorities for unding statewide services to libraries and also established the guidelines, funding categories, match requirements, eligibility criteria, application process for a Competitive Grants Program. Since 1997 Congress has appropriated funding to support the LSTA programs in all states. For the past two years Utah has received approximately 1.2 million dollars annually. Half of this money is expended on statewide services to libraries (statewide planning, evaluation, continuing education and other library development activities; database licensing to support PIONEER: Utah's Online Electronic Library; resource-sharing incentive grants to fund inter-library loan transactions; and support for the Utah Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped). The other $600,000 is used to fund the Competitive Grants Program.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Educational Programs That Work - 1995 Davis County Indian Homework Centers Program (IHC). A tutoring program to increase the achievement scores of Indian students in the Davis County (Utah) School District. Audience Indian students grades 1-12 who request or agree to be tutored. Description Evidence of Effectiveness The Stanford Achievement Tests (SAT) was the instrument used to measure student (grades 1-12) achievement gains. A pre- and post-test design was used. Supporting evidence was obtained through parent questionnaires. The treatment group sample included all of the Indian students who received at least 30 hours of tutoring over a 27 week period and who took both the pre- and post-tests. Results showed that students made significant gains in reading and mathematics. Gains were medium in magnitude at the elementary and junior high levels and large in magnitude at the high school level. The questionnaire showed that all parents had a positive attitude toward their children's involvement in the program and that they felt their children had gained in academic achievement. Requirements For 60 students: ten qualified part-time tutors and one part-time tutor supervisor trained in Native American Culture for the Tribes represented in the geographic area to be served; access to elementary and secondary school libraries or media centers; Native American Indian Culture Kits; and criterion tests.

Extractions: The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries (LSL) program promotes comprehensive local strategies to improve student achievement by improving school library services and resources. The LSL program is one component of the Department's commitment to dramatically improve student achievement by focusing available resources, including those of school library media centers, to ensure that no child is left behind. School library media centers have an important role to contribute to the success of local improvement plans especially in the literacy area by increasing collaboration between instructional and school library media center staff, providing additional instructional materials and resources, and extending hours of operation during non-school hours.

Extractions: order of priority A. GRANT CATEGORIES Technology Infrastructure: ( LSTA Plan, Goal 1) Enable Utah's libraries to maintain an up to-date and robust technology infrastructure in order to assure that Utahns can access networked information efficiently and effectively through their libraries. Technology infrastructure refers to computer hardware and software that accesses the Internet; it may include Internet workstations, telecommunications upgrades, integrated system upgrades, and web-based catalogs. Newly certified public libraries may apply for basic computer technology which encompasses the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of library information technology necessary to provide automated circulation and/or bibliographic access; initial hardware, software, sufficient memory, storage, peripherals, public access terminals and/or workstations, and computer furniture. Networked Information: ( LSTA Plan, Goal 3)
Extractions: maronic@WestEd.org Figure 34 Table 35: Where and How Often Students Use Computers Where do you use computers? Never Occasionally (less than once a month) Monthly Weekly Daily In my classroom in teams In my classroom by myself In the media center in teams In the media center by myself In a computer lab in teams In a computer lab by myself In the teacher's office in teams In the teacher's office by myself At home At a friend's or relative's house At the library At an Internet cafe Other All grade levels use computers frequently (weekly and daily) in the following places: at home, in the computer lab by myself, in the classroom by myself, in the media center by myself and at the home of a friend or relative. Some use the library. The use of computers at home and at a friend or relative's home is not significant to grade level. In other words, all students report that they frequently use computers at home or at a friend or relative's home regardless of grade level. Those who "never" use computers in the library increases with grade level (48.7% elementary; 35.9% middle school; 31.6% secondary). The use of computers in the classroom "by myself" increases with grade level. For complete frequency and mean data for each item in this section, see Appendix D. Table 36 shows the frequency of these responses for weekly and daily use of computers.
