Starting Small, Dreaming Big: The OSLIS Brings Resources Statewide by Diane Claus-Smith Library Media Specialist • North Salem High School, Salem, OR • OSLIS Curriculum Liaison, 1999 MultiMedia Schools • November/December 1999 The Information Explosion Goes into Overload Increasingly, students are accessing online information where they once read articles in print format from subscription magazines. They are quick studies in the use of technology for finding information. With simple directions, they can cruise the Net, surfing multiple search engines to find gazillions of hits on any given subject. Unfortunately, they often come up confused and/or empty-handed as far as any kind of useful research to help them with their school projects. What might start out as a simple search for information about “endangered species” recently retrieved 96,512 hits in AltaVista, 362,209 hits in Excite, and 8 categories and 174 sites on Yahoo!. An advanced Web searcher is not daunted by these numbers and will proceed to narrow the search to discover some useful nuggets of information. Most students, however, lack that kind of patience and virtuosity. They flounder with the numbers of hits, often becoming distracted by commercial and inappropriate sites. In contrast to this serendipitous technique, one might use subscription online databases through the Internet. Increasingly, periodical and reference resources are made available through school library distributors. These resources contain the text and some images from the same print periodicals and reference books available at most school libraries. Periodical articles are selected by editorial boards of the magazines or reference books. For the most part, the information made available to students in this format is more reliable and authoritative than what an untutored search of the Internet might yield.

Proof of the Power: Quality Library Media Programs Affect Academic Achievement by Keith Curry Lance Director, Library Research Service Colorado State Library and University of Denver MultiMedia Schools • September 2001 T he evidence is mounting! By early 2000, researchers affiliated with the Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library and the University of Denver—myself included—had completed four statewide studies on the impact of school library media programs on the academic achievement of U.S. public school students: "Information Empowered: The School Librarian as an Agent of Academic Achievement in Alaska" "Measuring Up to Standards: The Impact of School Library Programs and Information Literacy in Pennsylvania Schools" "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards, The Second Colorado Study" "Good Schools Have School Librarians: Oregon School Librarians Collaborate to Improve Academic Achievement" Philosophically, these studies are rooted in the "Information Power" model espoused by the American Association of School Librarians and the findings from 6 decades of research related to the impact of school library media programs on academic achievement. The latest edition of Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998) identifies three roles for school library media specialists. In a learning and teaching role, library media specialists advance the instructional goals of the school. As providers of information access and delivery, they develop collections and services and facilitate their use. And, as program administrators, they serve as library media center managers as well as school-wide advocates and trainers for information literacy.

State Report Cards, LCSD Low Scores A Decade of Budget Cuts Damage Lincoln County Students' Future April 25, 2000 Lincoln County School District Budget Reduction Fact Sheet: Funding for Oregon's school districts has changed from a reliance on local property taxes to a system that receives a majority of funds from the State legislature. The Lincoln County School District has been deeply hurt by the state's current formula for funding schools, which is based solely on a per student amount . There is no minimum quality standard or requirement that all students be offered comparable choices of classes . As a result, LCSD has made extreme reductions in the level of services provided to our children. LCSD's budget has been reduced every year since 1991 CUT 2.38 Million in 1991-92 CUT 1.52 Million in 1992-93 CUT 2.00 Million in 1993-94 CUT 3.96 Million in 1994-95 CUT 3.25 Million in 1995-96 CUT 1.40 Million in 1996-97 CUT 1.00 Million in 1997-98 CUT 3.10 Million in 1998-99

In addition, students will be able to search online for health-related questions and for current topics in reputable publications often not available in school libraries. In the last few years school districts with good financial resources have started to access these electronic research products on a subscription basis via the Internet.

Doug Johnson Head for the Edge - past columns from Technology Connection, The Book Report, and Library Talk magazines - Linworth Publishing Home Columns Contact information Column title and issue: Six Ways to Beat the Study Hall Syndrome in Your Media Center, November 1995 A media specialist new to the profession recently asked me, "How does one keep a media center from becoming a studyhall, recreation area, or dumping ground for students?" Ah, this was a battle I also seemed to fight over and over in my 12 years as a building media specialist. In every school and at all grade levels, some teachers and administrators often saw the media center as a "holding area." I believe it is an endemic problem. To get to the heart of the problem, it helps to understand that education is only one of three tasks with which society has given its schools. The other two - child confinement and child socialization - seem to be particularly apparent in the unstructured areas of the school: the hallways, lunchrooms, and media centers. Of these areas where students have freedom of movement, discretionary time, and a choice of activities, the media center is the only one which has an academic mission as well. While we need to acknowledge that media centers must share the school's obligation to contain children and must honor children's need to socialize, media specialists can and should bring the academic mission to the fore.

Media Centers Measure 28 Deals Blow To North Marion We are working hard to meet the challenges of state funding figures that seem to change monthly. In our school district the defeat of this short-term measure, coupled with state revenue shortfalls, have led us to cut over $430,000 from our budget this year. We are left with few choices to make up this huge loss – cutting staff members and cutting days of school. The district has just announced the closing of school for 3 days from this calendar year, with the possibility of more should we receive yet another cut due to May’s revenue forecast. This year we have received $1,000,000 less from the state than the original estimates given to us – with many of these reductions being put in place after our budget adoption and after our school year was well under way. We are still receiving news of further revenue cuts that are anticipated in the Spring. Despite our personal feelings about the sad state of school funding in Oregon, life at North Marion Schools, goes on as usual. We will weather these difficult times, and you can trust that we will do our best for your children each and every day of the school year-abbreviated as it may be.

The national program was established in the fall of 1995 to help states, local educational agencies, teachers, school library and media personnel, administrators, and other education entities successfully integrate technologies in K-12 classrooms, library media centers, and other educational settings, including adult literacy centers and teacher education programs. The members of the Northwest consortium include the six state education agencies of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming, the Educational Service District 101 (based in Spokane, Washington), and NWREL as the lead grantee. The activities of the consortium in each member state are tailored to the needs of each state and are coordinated to complement existing delivery mechanisms or programs. Member states have identified four priorities for NETC services and products: NETC uses technology whenever possible to disseminate information and to provide staff development or technical assistance, including:
