Mission Statement Our mission is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of information and ideas and to promote reading as a lifelong pastime. Library Faculty/Staff: Cathy Nelson, MLIS, NBCT Melanie Dillard, MLIS Jolene Barron, Media Assistant Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to share information about the library media center’s programs and resources. I. Serving the DHS School Community A. Individual Student Visits The media center is open from 7:30 to 4:00, providing time before and after the school day for teachers and students to visit and use our resources. There were 3,592 individual student visits (from passes) during the school day first through fourth block. When including students visiting with classes, there were 23,987 students using the LMC during the 2009 – 2010 school year. During student visits, we are often asked to provide assistance with locating resources and using computer programs. We use every opportunity possible to enable students and teachers to increase their information literacy skills. B. Class Visits The media center was open for class visits 180 calendar days this year. During that time, 850 classes visited the media center to use its resources. Total students using the library as a result of class visits equals 19,264. 55 classes were used for administrative purposes (various testing programs, TAC, Flu Clinic, etc.) C. Before and After School Use Dorman High School Library Program | Each morning there were approximately 50 students a day visiting before school. The library was open every morning of the school year except one day (a faculty make-up meeting.) While we did not count the actual number of students visiting in the morning, we sent out fifty passes each day, and so our estimated number of students using the facility before school is 8950. After School use was significantly less, and an estimation of 1800 students used the library at this time (based on ten students a day for 180 days.) 2

Summary of Student Usage Data Type/TimeFrame of Use Students Students from classes on passes 3,592 Students with classes 19,264 Students visiting before school 8,950 Students visiting after school 1,800 Total 33,606 D. Collaboration Many of our faculty use the library’s resources to facilitate learning as students research and complete projects. Although very little formal collaboration occurs, some teachers do request our help in planning portions of projects or in helping students begin their research. We continue to teach information literacy skills to classes as requested. These skills include locating and using resources in our electronic book catalog, on SC DISCUS, Internet searching strategies, web page evaluation, and citing sources using the MLA format. Several research projects completed this year have been successfully used by teachers in the past so now that we are very familiar with the students’ needs, we anticipate better service In this area for the upcoming school year. Both media specialists continued efforts to encourage more in-depth collaboration between teachers and the library. This is an area that needs improvement and will be addressed in our goals again next year. D. Departmental Usage This year our English department continued to use the media center and its resources more than other departments.

E. Media Center Staff Involvement on School Instruction and Leadership Teams At this time no media center staff members serve on a school instructional or leadership team. We would like representation in the following: Principal’s Leadership Team / Department Heads’ Focus Group School Literacy Team High Schools That Work Professional Development Team High Schools That Work Guidance Team F. Staff Development 1. Formal Presentations August: New Teacher Orientation Packet August: Back to School Faculty Meeting – brief introduction to staff 2. Informal Sharing Several teachers requested assistance this year on various topics, and Mrs.. Nelson or Mrs. Dillard worked with these teachers on a one-on-one basis as needed. Some topics and tools covered: Finding resources on SC DISCUS Using/setting up Streamline SC Accounts Finding videos on TeacherTube/YouTube/Discovery Streaming Using the electronic catalog Scheduling in the media center Using V-Brick Using Flip Video Camera Creating Movies using Windows Movie maker Using the library laptop/projector Adding content to and/or planning for class use of the library wiki II. Managing the Collection Dorman High School Library Program | A. Circulation Statistics 13,511 resources were checked out during the 2009 – 2010 school year. This is an average check out per student/faculty/staff of estimated 5 books during the year. Students often ask us for reading recommendations due to our familiarity with the library’s collection, and by asking a few questions of the student, we can help them locate one or more titles that might interest them. Our success rate in so doing has been high, thus leading to more requests and, therefore, more checkouts. 4

As of May 28, 2010, 75 books and resources were still checked out to 54 students. A total of $3,446.54 in fines were owed by students in grades 10-12. Only two students classified as 2010 graduates showed in Destiny as owing library books or fines, and both were inactive/withdrawn students. DHS Student Library Fines Summary Fines owed to DHS $3,183.61 Fines owed to DFC $89.21 Fines owed to RPDMS $168.72 Fines owed to LEGMS $5.00 DHS Students Owing Books (and their value) School owed Value # of Books # of Students DHS $706.99 51 41 DFC $99.84 10 6 RPDMS $119.22 10 5 WVES $19.61 2 2 Totals $945.66 73 54 B. Top Circulating Books Our collection is made up of 68% Nonfiction and 32%fiction. Our top circulating titles reflect usage of both sections of the library, but the nonfiction is target to a set of books we have often considered pulling into the fictions section (graphic novels, which are categorized as art instead of literature.)

There were a total of 13,511 circulations, which averages out to approximately 5 books/library resources per patron (student and or faculty/staff). C. Collection Status Our fiction collection was outgrowing its available space, causing the need to shift books around in the library. When a set of books is relocated, every book in the library shifts, so we aggressively weeded some of the sections before beginning. The LMS’s work to update the collection’s average age and relevancy to the curriculum through a three year collection development plan to address all areas of the collection. This plan will begin over in year four and be a continuous cycle every three years. This year concludes Year 1 of our plan.

E. Online Resources 1. DHS LMC Web Site & Online Portals The DHS LMC Website was moved over to the district/school OrangeEd web application. It is up to date, but points users to other online web presence the library has, including our online catalog and linked resources (Destiny), the DHS WetPaint Wiki, and our DHS Library Blog. Research has proven that teenagers want to interact with websites so in the fall, we added a “Cavalier Book Recommendation” form on our various online portals for students to use to request the library purchase of a book of their choice. Several students completed the form and the books they requested were added to the Consideration File. Many of the titles were found worthy of purchase and now reside in the library. Adding this form has given students a voice in library purchases. The DHS Library wiki was created with the goal of teachers making online contributions to pathfinders to enhance the search process for students while in the media center. Teachers have contributed not only links, but also downloadable handouts to enable students to obtain missing or lost material. The wiki is a place to truly implement cross-curricular projects, as well as maintain subject specific information for classes. The DHS Blog is a place to discuss titles, activities, or events that teen readers may be interested in. The English Department coordinates with the library to utilize the blog as a place for student to get answers to questions over the summer or debate issues in the required reading. 2. SC DISCUS The South Carolina State Library provides schools with access to many excellent databases through SC DISCUS. We promote these databases as authoritative and reliable resources and recommend that our students begin their online research with them. (Usage data can be provided, but was not available at the date of this report) 3. Ebooks With the implementation of Destiny, our library offers 66 e-books. The books range from classical Dorman High School Library Program | literature (Alice in Wonderland, Black Beauty) to the complete works of Shakespeare. 4.

Professional Blog: TechnoTuesday: Cathy Nelson’s Professional Thoughts Cathy Nelson began her blog four years ago as a way to connect with educators and reflect on learning and making the classroom/library engaging. The blog provides an opportunity to explore ideas that are relevant to our library. http://blog.cathyjonelson.com (October 2006 – present) Cathy’s blog was named by Scholastic as one of the “Top Twenty Blogs for Educators” in September 2009. Dorman High School Library Program | Cathy’s blog received an “Edublog Nomination” for Libraries and Librarians category as an exemplary blog. The “Edublog” Award program is a peer reviewed and nominated awards program. This is the 3rd consecutive years she has been nominated. Cathy’s blog recently received “starred” status by Salem Press. Salem Press created a Library Blog Directory with School Libraries as one of the five categories of blogs they reviewed. Starred status is an indication that a blog is considered by Salem Press’s judges “to be of significant quality that [it] stood above the norm.” http://salempress.com/Store/blogs/school.htm (June 2010) 12

IV. Promoting Reading Our mission is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of information and ideas and to promote reading as a lifelong pastime. Half of our mission statement addresses promoting reading for not only learning, but also for pleasure. The DHS LMC has created many reading programs and events to encourage our students and staff to read No Book Left Unread – September 2009 The summer reading campaign came to a close August 31, and students, staff members, and teachers alike have steadily been turning in logs. No Book Left Unread asked all members of the school community to log pages read, including not only books, but also magazines, newspapers, and even websites--practically anything that is read. We compiled our data, and have our final number of pages read! Dorman High School submitted to the SC Department of Education NBLU Headquarters a whopping 237,004 pages read for the summer! Congratulations all and thanks for contributing! Noteworthy participants include: Our top 2 students: Angel Y., who recorded 35,803 pages Staci S., who recorded 6,399 pages Comment from Staci, regarding her success: "I could have probably logged 10,000 pages easily, because I read a tremendous amount online." Our top 2 faculty/staff participants: Ms. Bishop, who logged 41,817 pages read. Ms. Murphy, who logged 8,985 pages read. Both of these educators turned in multiple page documents of their summer reading. Comment from Ms. Bishop: "I really do more than just read! I just love series, and am a fast reader. I tend to devour a series once I discover the author. But please realize I really do not just read, though it comes quick and helps pass the time when I am doing things that call for waiting." The top 20 students and these top two educators celebrated their success the next morning (September 15, 2009) in the media center at our NBLU Breakfast. We rewarded the top 4 with $25 gift cards to Barnes and Noble, and presented the rest of the group with a paperback book of their choice dedicated Dorman High School Library Program | with an NBLU bookplate. Banned Books Week We promoted Banned Books Week by displaying titles that have been challenged in schools, and aksing kids to tell us what they had in common. Most kids did not realize the titles were from a banned book list. Students enjoyed exploring and checking out the titles. Satteria Broomfield did a spin off unit on our display, having students in her classes research authors or titles of censored content. Teen Read Week The media center planned a five day week of activities to promote teen read week that was filled with contests and fun for all. Fine amnesty was a big hit. We also prepared a small “library” in the faculty 13

lounge and set up a room filled with our newest acquisitions, which allowed us to continue service despite Fall HSAP testing taking place during this week. Tim Hamilton / Fahrenheit 451 IN coordination with the Spartanburg County Public Library (Ashley Layne, liaison,) the DHS LMC hosted graphic author novelist Tim Hamilton. He talked with our English 10 Honors classes and Susan Eleazor’s Art classes. The SCPL provided copies of his newest book, Fahrenheit 451 to all our classes that listened to him. Meet me on the Equinox November 19, 2009, in honor of the release of the Twilight sequel "New Moon" DHS Media Center had a small get together for interested students and staff. We played trivia games, seeing who knew the characters best, discussed the book before it hit theaters, and enjoyed food, fun, movie trailers, and more. There were prizes including posters, games, the movie soundtrack, and more. Students had their picture taken with our life-sized cutouts of Edward and Jacob. South Carolina Young Adult Book Award Program We used book displays, video book trailers, book talks, blog posts and more to promote the books throughout the entire school year. Friday, March 12, DHS students participated in a statewide election on the SCYABA of the year. Our students selected Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why as our school winner, though it was not the only title receiving votes. I am happy to report that our votes were sent in to be added to all the rest of the students voting in this annual election, and the title that won for our school ALSO won for the state of South Carolina. We are already promoting next year’s titles with two displays in the medioa center and spine lables to esily identify the books. There are ready made bookmarks available, and they are alos being encouraged as a component of this summer’s NBLU. National Library Week To encourage reading from our library, we sponsored daily drawings form that week. We used PA Announcements as well as a blog post on the DHS LMC Blog that went as follows: Ok, Cavaliers...time for some give-aways! But first, you have to come to the library to get a book! What???? A book, you say??? Yep! Check out a book any day (or every day) this week, and your name will go in a drawing for free Dorman t-shirts and caps. We will give away three items each afternoon this week! So Cavaliers, READ Dorman High School Library Program | and WIN! Poetry Café Students and teachers were invited to bring a lunch and share a poem in our small sectioned we called “The Poetry café” We had approximately 40 students each Friday come and either listen or read a poem. We also had several teachers, including Mr. Clowney, Mrs. Sturm, Mrs. Greene (Broomfield’s student teacher) and Mr. Urban and his class participated. 14

Current Summer Reading Promotions: Required Reading /English CP 2010 NBLU Goals for the 2010-2011 School Year The results of our annual report have increased our awareness of both our strengths and weaknesses. Our goals for next year are based on the results of this report and on the South Carolina State Department of Education’s Achieving Exemplary School Libraries report. 1. Increase collaboration with classroom teachers. “Collaborative planning—the joint working of two or more educators (e.g., teachers, library media specialist(s), reading teachers, itinerant teachers, resource teachers) to plan lesson and/or unit content, the delivery of instruction, and the assessment of student achievement—exists between the classroom teachers and the library media center professional staff. At least 50 percent of the classroom teachers actively participate in a collaborative partnership with the library media center professional staff to plan, deliver, and evaluate lessons that link information literacy, technology, and academic content and to assess student learning” (“Achieving Exemplary School Libraries,” 8). 2. Continue to improve both the content and currency of our collection. “The library media center resource collection of print and electronic resources (including computers) is carefully selected and aligned with the school’s curriculum. The collection is systematically organized and is sufficient in quantity and quality to meet the information and recreational reading needs of the school community. The resource collection is continuously monitored for currency and relevancy to the curriculum and to students’ general interests” (“Achieving Exemplary School Libraries,” 12). Dorman High School Library Program | 3. Increase participation through Reading Advocacy Activities. “The library media program supports the school-wide reading initiatives and emphasis by encouraging reading throughout the school, offering a variety of reading materials, and participating in various state and national reading programs (e.g., S.C. Book Award Program, Children’s Book Week, Teen Read Week, National Library Week). At least 30 percent of secondary students participate in one or more reading initiatives, events, or activities throughout the school year…” (“Achieving Exemplary School Libraries,” 14). 15

Dorman High School Library Program | 1 Here is the formula used to calculate the average copyright date for the total collection. The collection percentages for fiction and for nonfiction were multiplied by the number of years from current calendar date (e.g., 20, 17, 5). The results were added together and rounded to the nearest whole number, where necessary. Example: For calculating the total collection average copyright date for the Basic level: 17 (years from current calendar date for fiction section) X .35 (percentage of total collection for fiction section) = 5.95 years. 7 (years from current calendar date for nonfiction section) X .65 (percentage of total collection for nonfiction section) = 4.55 years. Add 5.95 and 4.55 and round to the nearest whole number (5.95 + 4.55 = 10.50). The average copyright date for the total collection at the Basic level should be no more than 11 years from current calendar date. 19
