http://www.libsci.sc.edu/program/intro.htm
The following information is subject to review and change without notice.
Introduction
    The College of Library and Information Science (CLIS) at the University of South Carolina is one of the nation's youngest and most distinctive schools of library and information science education. With an outstanding faculty who share the philosophy that information service is not primarily a system of procedures relating to materials but rather a dynamic human service profession, the CLIS has produced an effective educational program which prepares graduates to enter challenging and rewarding careers in libraries and information centers in colleges, schools, communities, industries, and businesses. Students in the CLIS enjoy their studies and develop, both in and out of the classroom, collegial relationships and friendships which enrich and support them throughout their professional careers. Many students who are qualified to enroll in the College's programs of library and information science education are not able to participate full time in traditional campus-based classes. We are pleased to be able to offer these students flexible scheduling and convenient modes of course delivery. The USC College of Library and Information Science leads the nation in live interactive transmission of courses. The CLIS has provided this type of innovative educational opportunity to students in South Carolina since 1982. A three-year cohort of students in West Virginia and Georgia completed the USC-MLIS program through distance education in 1995. A three-year cohort in Maine reached completion in 1997. A second cohort began in West Virginia during the 1997-98 academic year and will extend over a four year period. A second four year cohort of Mainers started in Fall 2000.

WEST VIRGINIA EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY PLAN
INTRODUCTION "We are at a wonderful period in the history of ideas and technology as these subjects relate to the restructuring of public education. We have, for one of the few times in history, a convergence of pedagogical thought and technological breakthroughs that fit like a hand in a glove." Efforts have been ongoing to make changes and develop educational standards for all Americans since the publication of A Nation at Risk which stated that if something wasn't done to change our educational system, the United States would lose its role as a world leader. The national Educate America Act has provided states with the opportunity to further their respective reforms by funding plans for change and improvements. Specifically, Section 317 in this Act requires state planning for integrating technology into the curriculum in order to improve student achievement.
In West Virginia, reform efforts have been occurring since the 70's; and major reform legislation passed in 1989-90. The Educate America Act has been welcomed as a partial funding mechanism to continue planning and implementation of educational improvements. The Act indicated that each state should convene an advisory panel comprised of members from all stakeholder groups. On November 30, 1994, the West Virginia Education First Panel met to accept the charge from the Governor and State Superintendent of Schools to recommend a state strategic plan designed to improve the success of all students.

Appendix A Resources for Technical Assistance
To help all children reach high academic standards, many states, school districts, and schools will need a new kind of technical assistance. They will need comprehensive assistance that is driven by the needs of families and children and that can provide tools and information to help them leverage all available resources in order to improve teaching and learning for all children. To that end, the Department is creating regional technical assistance centers to provide comprehensive, high-quality assistance and information. The Depart ment is also changing the way it relates to the field by shifting its focus from monitoring for compliance to providing support to enhance program quality.
Regional Service Teams and Integrated Programs Reviews
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), which houses the Office of Migrant Education, has a new organizational structure that is built around ten regional service teams. Existing program offices, including the Office of Migrant Education, will retain a small program base, but will provide most services to OESE grantees through teams that have staff with expertise in OESE's programs. This new structure signals a new relationship with states and local operating agencies. Rather than focus on providing program-specific advice, the restructured OESE will use cross-program teams to encourage and support state and local efforts to integra te services and collaborate across programs. In anticipation of this change, OESE began in 1994-95 to conduct integrated reviews of federally funded education programs. Integrated reviews are on-site observations and assessments performed by a team of s taff members from two or more program offices within the Department. Each focused on the progress of systemic reform efforts within a state and explored how individual federal programs fit within that broad reform effort. The Office of Migrant Education participated in all of the initial integrated reviews.

Noteworthy Features:
  • The initiative builds on the existence of a statewide system of local planning collaboratives (Family Resource Networks, or FRNs) and selects grantees from among those FRNs that have completed a community planning process around child and family services and supports. To be considered as grantees, FRNs are required to expand their membership to include early childhood providers and consumers. Each grantee FRN in turn subcontracts with a school, child care center, or other community agency to operate its Starting Points Family Resource Center.
  • Mandated core services at the Starting Points Centers cover the full range of programming that families with young children may need: intake and assessment, resource coordination, health and nutrition services, developmental screening, parent and preschool education (including child care), home-based services and outreach, and referral and follow-up. Most centers provide a mix of child- and adult-focused programming and include services such as GED classes and adult literacy programs.

April 2003 Hope for Tomorrow Campaign Continues Leaders of the “Hope for Tomorrow” Major Funds Campaign say churches should continue to invite pledges for the $5 million effort. Even though severe winter weather hampered the start of the campaign, district superintendents report that pledges are being reported at a steady pace. Even so, a major push will be needed if the goal of the campaign is to be reached. Bishop Ives is encouraging United Methodists “to be a people of hope” as they consider their gifts to the “Hope for Tomorrow” effort. The pledge total will be announced during the Annual Conference Session in June. The Conference implemented the campaign last year to raise money for church and leadership development, mission projects and GlenWood Park Retirement Village. Elizabeth Church celebrates safe return of Jessica Lynch Tom Burger ELIZABETH, W.Va.—When Pastor Harold Francis (left) activated the prayer phone chain at Elizabeth (WV) United Methodist Church to celebrate the rescue of Army Private Jessica Lynch (rt), he had little idea what he had started. Rev. Francis simply invited his people to church in this Wirt County community near where Jessica grew up “to express awe and appreciation to God” for her safe return after nine days in the hands of the Iraqi army.

West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Annual Report – Fiscal Year 2000
An Overview In July 2001 the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WVCADV) Board of Directors adopted Beyond 2000 a long-range strategic plan addressing intervention and prevention of domestic violence throughout West Virginia. Although giving priority to strengthening direct victim services, especially through children’s services and outreach efforts , Beyond 2000 clearly focuses on increasing efforts to prevent domestic violence and to expand systems advocacy through collaborative partnerships with allied organizations and systems. The legal system, criminal justice system, health and welfare system, and educational system are essential partners in a coordinated effort to resource victims of intimate partner violence and to hold perpetrators accountable for their crimes. A major phase in the development of the current statewide service plan was the evaluation of “ Toward 2000 ,” a statement of the goals and objectives that have guided the WVCADV Board and the Central Service Office staff since 1996. Each of seven basic service goals was evaluated in terms of progress and unmet needs as part of the process of redefining them for the future. Highlights of this evaluation within each area form the report summary given below.
Goal One: The Primacy of Victim Services The WVCADV mission - the elimination of personal and institutional domestic violence against women, children, and men through the provision of direct services and systems advocacy
