21. The Mission Of KSU SLIS media centers. The Kent State University school of Library and Information Scienceoffers the only accredited library and information science program in ohio. http://www.slis.kent.edu/about/mission.php3

The Mission of KSU SLIS The focus of the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science derives from three essential aspects of the School's environment: the role of the School as the provider of the only comprehensive library and information science program in the state of Ohio, the position of the School in a research university, and the position of the School as a unit within the College of Fine and Professional Arts. 1. THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE IN THE STATE OF OHIO 2. THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE IN THE UNIVERSITY The University community has expressed a dedication "to providing a superior university education, to advancing significant research and creative activities, and to furthering the fulfillment of societal goals." Kent State University has been identified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Research II institution. Research II "institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs, are committed to graduate education through the doctorate, and give high priority to research." The role of a graduate level, professional program in a research university is unique: the program must reflect both the service orientation of the profession and the research orientation of the University. 3.

State Status Reports ESA Task Force February 8, 1999 New Leadership ESA members reported changes in their states (some expected, some not) as a result of recent elections. Illinois has a new governor, Republican George Ryan, who has promised to designate 51 percent of general revenue funds for education and work force readiness. Minnesota's surprise winner in the governor's race is Jesse Ventura, a Reform party candidate. Governor Ventura has put together a $33 billion budget that includes 5.3 percent for education, the highest funding since 1992. Iowa and Ohio have also elected new governors. Iowa's Thomas Vilsack is a Democrat; Ohio's Bob Taft, a Republican. Both Illinois and Ohio have new state superintendents. Max McGee is Illinois's first state superintendent coming directly from the local superintendency. McGee wants to move forward with the standards implementation and quality assurance and stop measuring schools according to a single state assessment figure and then comparing them across state by the mean score. Ohio's new state superintendent, Susan Zelman, has never been a superintendent or a building principal. She has, however, worked extensively with legislators and has both university and state department background. Professional Standards Indiana is halfway through the first year of a professional standards pilot. A teacher coming out of school now holds a provisional license for the first two years. After that, the teacher's portfolio and performance will be evaluated by local corporations that will make recommendations for a permanent teaching license. Another change taking place is that teachers can no longer get their teaching license renewed in any subject area; they have to take continued advanced study in one topic area. In three years, this will be a statewide requirement.

Recent successes have been in Alabama Indiana and Ohio schools. Alabama Virtual Library chooses SIRS. Funded by the Alabama Legislature and managed by the Alabama Public Library Service (APLS), AVL provides online database access to public K-12 schools, public libraries, two-year colleges and member institutions of the Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (four-year colleges and universities). The Alabama Virtual Library and the Alabama Public Library Service are pleased that SIRS has become a partner in providing high quality electronic information to the students and citizens of Alabama, said Dr. Lamar Veatch, Director of APLS. SIRS represents a unique product that is very well suited to the needs of our students and teachers. We see SIRS as a critical element in the structure of the Alabama Virtual Library. SIRS reference databases contain thousands of full-text articles and graphics from almost 6,000 domestic and international newspapers, magazines, journals and U.S. government publications. Database topics include global issues, economics, the environment, business, science, health, history, society, U.S. government legislation, culture and the arts and humanities.

Janet Baker Superintendent Welcome to the Hamilton City Schools If you're a community resident or a parent, you may have heard or read about the many accomplishments of the Hamilton City Schools. If you're new to our community, we're pleased to have you and commend you on an excellent choice. I am beginning my 10th year as superintendent of Hamilton Schools and am more excited than ever about the progress the district is making and its' potential for the future. Having grown up in Hamilton, I understand how important education is to the quality of life in our community. Over the last decade, I have personally witnessed tremendous improvements in our Hamilton Schools. We have committed ourselves to a standard of excellence and have set some goals to get better each year. What does getting student achievement better mean? It means student achievement is on the rise. I'm proud to report that the district has moved up 8 indicators on the state report card in just a short two-year period. Additionally Hamilton is at the top of our state comparison group on the Ninth Grade Proficiency scores. A recent site evaluation conducted by state officials also highlighted 17 strengths. How did we make this progress?
