Greetings NY SLMS:
I know the 2005 Conference Committee is working hard to get the program
schedule set. They are sorting the proposals as I write this e-mail. For
now they have announced the keynote speaker: Ross Todd, School of
Communication, Information & Library Studies, Rutgers University.
Co-researcher with Carol Kuhlthau also of Rutgers University, of Ohio Study
entitled "Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries." It is the first
comprehensive study based on students' evaluation of their media centers.
Survey of 13,123 Ohio students reveal 99.4 % of students in grades 3 to 12
believe school libraries and their services help them become better
learners.
Also speaking will be Joseph Roy, Principal of Joyce Valenza's High School
in PA. (Joyce is the SLMS.) He is also on the cover of SLJ in October.
4000 post cards went out yesterday to LMS all over the state.
