Using Apache Lucene and Solr search technologies, information and knowledge have become vastly more searchable, findable, and accessible. Because scholars and researchers are some of the most demanding users of search systems, the problems encountered by the implementers are complex. For example, many of the applications built on these technologies also thrive on intentionally designed-in serendipitous discovery capabilities, bringing to light previously unknown, yet related and potentially interesting, content.
Libraries and other public knowledge-sharing environments, such as Wikipedia, generally embrace "open source" and community improving contributions as core principles, making a lovely synergy with the power, features, and community-driven ecosystem provided by Lucene and Solr.
This talk will introduce you to several Solr powered library-related systems, detail how they work, and leave you with lessons learned that can be applied to your applications.

Prime Time Family Reading Time is an innovative family reading program designed for low-income families in communities where student reading scores do not meet Nebraska state standards. The six-week program is hosted by local libraries and led by a storyteller and a discussion leader. Since 2005, when the Nebraska Library Commission funded student interns to work with Prime Time, bilingual student assistants have contributed to the programs while also learning about library work. Erika Hamilton, state coordinator of Prime Time, Nebraska Humanities Council Program Officer, will share her experiences in encouraging parents and children to read award-winning illustrated children’s books, to recognize and discuss humanities topics in the stories, and to become active public library users.
The PCEC "1000 X 5" Children's Book Recycling Project is a community literacy initiative whereby free books are provided to families with young children (birth to 5 years) living on the Saanich Peninsula. It is our hope that all young children will have at least 1000 books read to them by the time they are five years-old.
Library Services in the Grossmont Union High School Districtslmontgomery

This is the PowerPoint Presentation of my Media Handbook for the Perth Amboy Public School System. This Handbook highlights the Philosophy, Procedures, Policies, etc. that are taken to ensure that the media center is maintained and available to all patrons. After consulting my mentor and other media specialists in the district, this handbook can be used effectively and can assist new media specialists in the district when it comes to setting up their media center for the first time.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

days according to the ABCD specials schedule. Throughout
the year we will enjoy stories, learn how to use the library,
and explore and learn with media through technology.
Grades 3-5 classes will utilize media resources on a flexible
basis to complete classroom learning activities and projects
that have been collaboratively planned by teachers, computer
and library media staff.
7. Park Hill Media Curriculum
The Park Hill K-5 Library Media Program was developed
collaboratively and built on both state and national
standards. The K-5 Library Media Program provides students
with a continuum of essential knowledge and skills
incrementally increasing in depth and rigor. Students will
develop knowledge and skills related to an appreciation of
literature, safe use of technology and multimedia information
resources, and research with interdisciplinary connections.
8. Library Circulation K-2
Children grades Kg – 2 will be coming to our library for a
scheduled class once every four days. At that time, they will also
check out books. In addition, they may come during daily open
library times to exchange books.
Kindergarten students are allowed to check out one book at a
time.
Students in Grades 1 and 2 can check out two books at a time.
Books are checked out for one week. We encourage children to
bring their books to each library class, either to return or renew.
9. Library Circulation 3-5
Children grades 3 – 5 will be coming to our library during
open library times to exchange books. These students check
out up to three items at a time. Books are checked out for
one week; most can be renewed as needed.
10. On the hunt for a “just right’ book
We do our best to individually help each student choose at least
one “just right” book for their age and reading level. A “just right”
is a book that students can read and understand by themselves.
Please help us in this task by talking to your child about their
selection choices and let us know if any issues arise. Unfortunately,
due to the large amount of children we help each day, we cannot
monitor every book choice, so your involvement in your child’s
reading material is important to us.
11. Ready to pounce on a “just right”
book?
“People tend to find books when they are ready for them.”
― Neil Gaiman
Use the “five finger rule”:
1. Choose a book that you think you will enjoy.
2. Read the second page.
3. Hold up a finger for each word you are not sure of, or do not
know.
4. If there are five or more words you did not know, you should
choose an easier book.
