Hi, LM_Netters,  We've got a real problem with a quote needed for a
trimester project to be handed out _tomorrow_!!  I've searched and
searched and can not find it. The quote is something to the effect of--an
informed electorate/citizenry is the only thing that keeps democracry
going--or words to that effect. sorry to be so vague but we've tried so
many search terms it's all mixed up!  I told the teachers if anyone could
help it would be you folks.  TIA

Subject: AASL Annual Conference Program Proposals - San Francisco

From:  Barbara Herrin

The theme for AASL programming at the 1997 Annual Conference of the
American Library Association in San Francisco June 26-July 3, 1997, is

library media specialists--are integral components of the educational
process and essential to student learning.

seeking suggestions and/or proposals which address the theme through
one or more of the following specific topics:

1) technology
2) budget planning/preparation and resource allocation
3) information literacy skills--access and assessment
4) management skills
5) learning styles/brain-based learning
6) implementation of partnership strategies
