Ubiquitous readers' advisory services for public libraries' online communitiesBestSellers
The document summarizes a presentation about providing readers' advisory services through online communities and social media for public libraries. It discusses how the role of libraries is changing as content consumption shifts from a one-to-many model to a disruptive model driven by social media. It provides examples of libraries that use forms, reviews, and personalized recommendations on their websites and social media pages to connect readers with new books.
The value of libraries in college educationHaravu Jayaram
The document discusses how libraries fit into today's globalized, knowledge-based society. It argues that libraries have evolved from primarily housing physical collections to facilitating lifelong learning and access to knowledge. The author urges students to take full advantage of library resources and services in order to develop critical thinking skills and prepare for an uncertain future that demands continuous learning.
The document discusses the historical relationship between public libraries and school libraries, barriers to cooperation between the two, and initiatives to strengthen partnerships in the 1990s and 2000s. It outlines turf battles due to lack of coordination and funding, different roles of public and school librarians, and how responsibilities for children's library services were debated. Examples of successful school-library partnerships and resources for collaboration are also provided.
Teen Tech Week 2015: A Public Library Thing?Johan Koren
Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by YALSA that aims to ensure teens are competent and ethical users of digital media through libraries. It focuses on resources like e-books, databases, and social media. The related Teen Read Week also encourages teen reading and library use. Studies show teens lack skills to evaluate online information. Libraries help teens build skills like research and online profile management. Some schools implement "Bring Your Own Device" policies to utilize students' technology. Partnerships for Teen Tech Week can include families, community groups, and schools working with public libraries. Makerspaces in libraries allow creation using tools like 3D printers and electronics, helping develop skills needed in today's economy.

This document outlines strategies and actions that school librarians can take to advocate for and ensure the survival and success of school library programs. It discusses building relationships with key stakeholders like students, teachers, parents, administrators, and legislators. It also addresses ensuring the library program is student-centric and keeps up with emerging technologies, digital citizenship, and 21st century skills. Specific suggestions include showcasing student work, offering technology training, facilitating connectivity through tools like Skype, creating blogs and wikis, and keeping stakeholders informed of trends and opportunities through reports and resources. The overall message is that librarians must look to the future, cultivate relationships, and promote their value in order to survive and thrive.
The document discusses the importance of school library programs and the role of certified librarians. It notes that student achievement increases an average of 10-20% when schools have staffed library programs. Without funding for libraries, students would be missing out on important resources for research, developing technology skills, and accessing books and materials. The document urges support for ensuring all Pennsylvania students have access to library services and licensed librarians.
Heinrich Mann's quote about the importance of books is presented. The document then summarizes how Oklahoma libraries provide valuable resources and programs that promote literacy and learning for children. Libraries offer books, audio tapes, computers, storytimes, summer reading programs, and outreach through bookmobiles. They also provide volunteer opportunities to encourage community involvement among youth.
This document summarizes the key points from a dialogue on the role of public libraries. It discusses libraries as people, places, and platforms. As people, libraries are focused on serving community needs through education and learning. As places, they promote community development and bring people together. As platforms, they provide access to resources and act as community hubs using makerspaces, computers, and partnerships. The document outlines strategies for libraries to align with community goals, provide access to content, ensure sustainability, cultivate leadership, and demonstrate their value through data. It encourages libraries to work with community organizations and policymakers to strengthen their role in economic development and lifelong learning.

Public Librariesas Partnersin Youth Developmentguest262dc9
The document discusses a survey conducted by the American Library Association and University of Illinois on behalf of the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund regarding youth programs offered by public libraries. Key findings include:
- Nearly all libraries offer reading programs, while over 80% offer cultural programs and many collaborate with schools and community groups. However, only about 1/3 offer computer classes and fewer than 25% offer homework help or career development programs.
- Programs are largely geared toward elementary students, with fewer for middle and high schoolers. Very few target low-income communities.
- While libraries are committed to serving youth, budgets for youth services are not always adequate and librarians are stretched thin in coordinating
The strategic plan outlines goals for the Juniata County Library from 2016-2020. It aims to optimize the library space, be on the cutting edge of technology, and foster new local partnerships. Specifically, it wants to improve the building, upgrade computers to Windows 10, partner with schools, offer technological learning, strengthen the online presence, issue library cards to all students, partner with retirement homes, market at local events, and specialize in serving Hispanic populations. The library serves a population of 24,526 in Juniata County, with the highest circulated materials being adult fiction, children's easy readers, and computer use.

Community college libraries play an important role in the continuum of lifelong learning by bridging the gap between high school and higher education. They provide affordable access to higher education and help acclimate community members to an intellectual environment. Some challenges they face include a perception that libraries are inefficient and replaceable by the internet, as well as poor marketing of their services. Solutions involve greater integration and collaboration between different types of libraries to share resources and promote their value through effective advocacy.
This document discusses the #ebooksos campaign, which was started by three academic librarians to raise awareness of issues with the affordability, availability, and access of e-books for university students and libraries. The campaign gathered thousands of signatures on an open letter calling for a government investigation into academic e-book publishing practices. While the education committee declined to do a review, the campaign has continued to provide evidence to the Competition and Markets Authority. The document discusses how these e-book issues impact students' information literacy and how librarians have used their own information literacy skills to advocate for change through the campaign in the spirit of information literacy as activism.
The newsletter provides updates from the School of Library and Information Sciences at North Carolina Central University. It discusses the upcoming retirement of Dean Irene Owens after 11 years. During her tenure, the school achieved several "firsts" including new certificate programs and collaborations with other institutions. It highlights activities of the student chapters of library organizations, including fundraisers and tours arranged. Recent upgrades to classroom technology are noted. Finally, it summarizes a lecture given by alumna Rebecca Vargha on the future of the profession in the digital age.
The document discusses the importance of computer access for students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. It notes that while many students own computers, 36% of students at public institutions do not. It argues that eliminating public computer labs could limit educational equity and opportunity for students who cannot afford their own technology or broadband access. It also notes that student-owned computers may not have sufficient power or software for advanced coursework. Overall access to computer labs remains important to support educational success for all students.
The document discusses the goals and programs of Al-Maun Education Center. It aims to provide quality early childhood education and close educational gaps. It has a lending library, computer lab, and Scholars Corner Program which exposes students to Muslim and non-Muslim scholars to promote exchange of ideas. The Center is committed to transforming students' lives through exemplary teaching and partnering with families and the community.
The document provides advocacy strategies and talking points for the Washington Coalition for School Libraries and Information Technology. It outlines the current challenges facing school libraries, an approach focused on long-term funding and vision, and a framework for advocacy. It discusses effective data collection, grassroots mobilization, building relationships with decision-makers, and framing school libraries as essential 21st century learning spaces.
This document outlines the policies and procedures for the library media center at Cottageville Elementary School. It includes the mission and vision statements for the library, school, and district. It describes the library staff roles and responsibilities. It provides information about the programs and services offered at the library.

Resources for information literacy in Illinois high schools, Presented at ILA...Kelly Grossmann
Preliminary results from a study investigating the resources and perspectives about information literacy at Illinois High Schools. For an updated presentation with additional data and findings, view "Information Literacy in Illinois High Schools: Budgets, Staffing, Perceptions, and Pedagogy"
By: Kelly Grossmann & Michelle Guittar
How have libraries responded to the enormous change of the last 15 years? Join the confersation as Kathleen Johnson embarks on an exploration of this question, examing innovative and interesting ideas including the Library of Things, the Learning Commons, the evolving library role in learning, the socially networked library and more.
Jennifer Robinson Henry has worked as a school librarian for over 20 years. She began her career as a student librarian and believes the library is a safe space where students can learn and find answers to their questions. As a school librarian, she has implemented many successful programs to engage students, such as book fairs, puppet shows, and a junior librarians program. She has also managed grants and served on several committees to support school libraries in her region.
The document summarizes the key discussions and presentations from a workshop called "The Boise Charrette" aimed at shaping 21st century learners. The workshop focused on how K-12 school libraries can better support student needs in the digital age. It covered topics like emerging technologies, redesigning library spaces, developing virtual learning portals, and cultivating relationships to advocate for library programs. The goal was to help libraries establish 12 elements of effective practice, including supporting student creativity, digital citizenship, and equitable access to information resources. Participants worked on challenges to design prototypes for an effective website, physical space, and use of emerging technologies to better prepare students for the future.
The document discusses the various roles of a 21st century school librarian, including as a leader, instructional partner, information specialist, teacher, and program administrator. As a leader, the librarian advocates for the profession and empowers others. As an instructional partner, the librarian collaborates with teachers on lessons. As an information specialist, the librarian provides resources and teaches information literacy skills. As a teacher, the librarian empowers students to be critical thinkers. And as a program administrator, the librarian ensures student achievement guides decision making. The overarching goal across all roles is to empower students as 21st century learners.
Great School Libraries! Powering learning, teaching and literacyCILIP
Great school libraries and librarians can make a positive impact on learning, teaching, and the whole school. They support students by developing independent learning, literacy skills, and digital skills. They support teachers through curriculum resources, collaboration on lessons, and professional development. They benefit the whole school by creating inspiring learning spaces, supporting wellbeing, and being a community hub. Research shows schools with strong library programs see higher test scores, engagement, and overall achievement from students.
We are transforming the educational landscape by providing affordable and accessible educational material to students across the globe. In this presentation, we provide more background into our impact model. Learn what happens with the 50% of textbooks that we donate to university campuses in East Africa.

Big Talk From Small Libraries 2019
February 22, 2019
http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk
This document discusses strategies for libraries to better communicate their impact and value to their institutions. It begins by examining how libraries are portrayed negatively in popular media from the 1980s to today. It then analyzes the data libraries currently collect, such as usage statistics and expenditures, and how this data is not effectively tied to institutional goals. The document presents examples of libraries that have correlated library usage data with positive student outcomes like higher GPAs, course completion, and retention. It provides SRJC library data that connects library services with increased access and support for underrepresented student populations. Finally, it discusses the need for libraries to publish and communicate their findings outside of library circles and to administrators to demonstrate how the library directly supports institutional priorities like student
This document provides an overview of 21st century literacy skills and information literacy. It discusses how new technologies are transforming society and the skills students need, such as problem solving, collaboration and digital literacy. These new literacies involve online reading comprehension, learning skills for the internet and evaluating information from various sources like videos, blogs and social media. Information literacy is defined as the ability to access, evaluate and apply information effectively. The document also discusses guided inquiry, which involves carefully planned lessons led by teachers and librarians to guide students through research projects and develop deep knowledge on a topic.
Aligning library goals with school goals is a vital step in ensuring that principals are aware of the enormous contribution teacher librarians make towards the success of educational programs.

28. Librarians Bridge the Academic Student and thePersonal Individual The library is a LearningCommonswhere teachers and students gather. O N N E C T I O N S C O N T I N U I T Librarians are a constant in the lives of students all 4 years of high school, so we see students grow both academically and personally. Librarians find resources that help students with life’s challenges: divorce, death, self-esteem, finding a job, relationships, bullying, etc. Sometimes we find the perfect book. Sometimes we find the perfect website. And sometimes, the best resource we can provide is connecting that student with a trained guidance counselor. C O M M U N I T Y Librarians connect students to the larger school community, providing a space of unity—a hub of campus life not fractured by grade, ability, or personal identity.
31. Teaching students how to navigate in a sea of information—and misinformation—including how to find HELP when they are stuck.Teaching staff so they can teach students—forming a resource & information network. The end result is independent, self-directed learners who can navigate their way through information to efficiently and effectively find and use what they need.
37. Planning For The Future Technology Passive consumers of information will be left behind in the 21st century. Students must learn to be knowledge creators.
38. Planning For The Future The Increasing Need For Schools to Teach Information Literacy On October 1st, 2009, President Barack Obama signed a Proclamation declaring that October be designated “Information Literacy Awareness Month” in the United States. “Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion or perspective, whether true or not, and have that opinion amplified within the information marketplace.” “Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it.” “…institutions such as libraries and universities…can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise.” President Barack Obama
39. Planning For The Future The Increasing Need For Schools to Teach Information Literacy From President Obama’s Proclamation Declaring Information Literacy Awareness Month “Our Nation’s educators and institutions of learning must be aware of—and adjust to—these new realities. In addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is equally important that our students are given the tools required to take advantage of the information available to them.” “The ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational, or technical.” “An informed and educated citizenry is essential to the functioning of our modern democratic society, and I encourage educational and community institutions across the country to help Americans find and evaluate the information they seek, in all its forms.”
40. Planning For The Future The Increasing Need For Schools to Teach Information Literacy “Information literacy has progressed from the simple definition of using reference resources to find information. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as crucial skills for this century.” Standards for 21st-Century Learners WASC has only recently added an “Information Literacy” component to its evaluation of colleges seeking WASC accreditation. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) has just recently released iSkills, its first-of-a-kind student assessment that tests Information Literacy competencies. California recently launched its Digital Literacy Initiative, designed to improve the Information Literacy skills of all Californians. Every study conducted has shown that the Information Literacy skills taught in a strong library program with qualified personnel results in higher student achievement and increased standardized test scores.
