Re-thinking the MHS Library Media CenterDiana Gardner
This document discusses rethinking the library media center at MHS by transforming it into a Library Learning Commons. It proposes 6 "lanes" or areas for the new commons: 1) iCommons for quiet digital work, 2) two computer labs for instruction, 3) flex zones for resources and research, 4) a maker space for creation, 5) an information station, and 6) conference rooms. It notes benefits like increased academic achievement, enriched learning experiences, and preparation for 21st century skills. The new commons aims to be a hub of activity and collaboration versus the traditional quiet library model.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Ross Todd on effective school libraries. Some key points:
- School libraries help students learn by supporting curriculum, developing literacy skills, and providing instruction on information literacy and technology.
- Research shows student achievement increases when libraries are staffed by qualified teacher-librarians who collaborate with teachers.
- Effective school libraries have sufficient resources and technology, and view their role as developing student knowledge rather than just providing information. They focus on learning outcomes over other metrics.
- Evidence-based practice is important for school libraries to demonstrate how they specifically contribute to student learning. This helps justify resources and focus efforts on effective strategies.
Effective school libraries are learning hubs with print and electronic resources that support student achievement. When supervised by a library media specialist who collaborates with teachers, school libraries help students develop reading skills, become skilled users of ideas and information, and explore resources. Research shows that school libraries positively impact student outcomes, with students performing better on tests and achieving at higher levels in schools with well-resourced libraries and media specialists.

The Re-education of Administration: Why every school administrator should be ...rhinocerology
Library media programs can sometime be undervalued by administration because they don’t understand the many roles librarians fill or the importance of information literacy in academic success and in the role of being a lifelong learner who uses information wisely. Using SUU’s LM Program curriculum as a framework a review of each course will highlight the roles that librarians fill that administrators need to know about, and appreciate in order for the library to be properly staffed, the space used effectively, and for information literacy to be a part of the regular school curriculum as well as a lifelong skill. Courses include: collection development, cataloging, technology, reference, literature, management and instruction, and practical experience. This presentation will help librarians develop strategies to advocate for their programs and their classroom space with in-house administration and can be applied to district administrators or even city and state level for library support as well as collaboratively when working with other teachers.
The document discusses how technology can be used as a tool for differentiated instruction in the classroom.

Selection:
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The policy of the school is to provide a wide range of library materials on all levels of
difficulty, with diversity of appeal, and that offer the presentation of different points of
view. The policy also allows for the review of allegedly inappropriate resources through
established procedures.
GOALS FOR SELECTION
To provide materials that will enrich and support the curricula and personal needs of the
users, taking into consideration their varied interests, abilities and learning styles.
To provide a background of information which will enable students to make intelligent
judgments in their daily lives.
To provide materials with varying points of view on current and historical issues so that
users may develop the skills of critical analysis.
To place materials which realistically represent our society and reflect the contributions
made by individuals to our American heritage.
To place principle above personal opinion and reason above prejudice in the selection of
materials of the highest quality in order to ensure a comprehensive library media collection
appropriate for the users.
25. National Heritage Academies Media
Center Policy
Procedure for Selection:
The certificated library media teacher or, if none is available, the
principal, shall use recognized selection tools and processes in selecting
library materials.
Recommendations for purchase shall be solicited from teachers and
students.
Gift and sponsored materials shall be judged by the criteria in the
Selection Policy and shall be accepted or rejected by these criteria.
Selection is an ongoing process that shall include the removal of
resources no longer appropriate and the replacement of lost and worn
resources that may still be of educational value.
26. National Heritage Academies Media
Center Policy
Copyright Compliance:
NHA recognizes that federal law makes it illegal to duplicate copyrighted materials without authorization of
the holder of the copyright, except for certain exempt purposes. Severe penalties may be imposed for
unauthorized copying or use of audio visual or printed materials and computer software, unless the copying or
use conforms to the "fair use" doctrine.
Under the "fair use" doctrine, unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted materials is allowed for such
purposes as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research as long as four standards
are met:
§ The use must be for such purposes as teaching and must be nonprofit.
§ You may make single copies of the following for use in research, instruction or preparation for teaching: book
chapters; articles from periodicals or newspapers; short stories, essays or poems; and
charts, graphs, diagrams, drawings, cartoons or pictures from books, periodicals, or newspapers.
§ In most circumstances, copying the whole of a work is not considered fair use; copying a small portion may
be if these guidelines are followed.
§ If resulting economic loss to the copyright holder can be shown, even making a single copy of certain
materials may be an infringement, and making multiple copies presents the danger of greater penalties.
While NHA encourages its staff to enrich learning programs by making proper use of supplementary
materials, it is your responsibility to abide by NHA's copying procedures and obey the requirements of the law.
In no circumstances will it be necessary for staff to violate copyright requirements to perform their duties
properly.
Any staff member who is uncertain as to whether reproducing or using copyrighted material complies with
NHA's procedures or is permissible under the law should contact their school’s Library/Technology
Specialist, Principal or Manager. Assistance in obtaining proper authorization to copy or use protected material
when such authorization is required can be provided.
27. National Heritage Academies Media
Center Policy
Reconsideration of Library Materials:
Most complaints need to be in writing, identifying the specific content that is objected to
and identifying the person making the complaint. Often a form has been developed that
includes the following:
Name, address, phone number, and status (parent, staff) of the person making the
complaint.
Description of the specific portions of the work which are thought to be objectionable.
An indication of what is being requested: removal of the material, limitations on access, or
restriction to certain grades or classes?
The Process for Reconsideration is:
Informal – After the complaint is received, there may be an informal process to hear the
complaint and explain the district’s policies and procedures for selection.
Formal – If the person wishes to file a formal complaint, they will be given a “Request for
Reconsideration” form . They will be advised to complete the form and return it to the
librarian or principal.
Committee – The library committee conducts a review of the work, listens to the concerns
of the person filing the complaint, and conducts any additional research needed.
While the book is being reconsidered, it may remain on the shelf and available for check-out

Internet Use Policy
The use of the internet should support the curriculum.
Use of the internet will be consistent with National
