You may have seen the latest issue of Knowledge Quest (March/April
issue) with its theme of Student Voices. In this issue, Dr. Ross Todd
and Dr. Carol Kuhlthau have an article called, "Listen to the Voices:
Ohio Students Tell Their Stories of School Libraries." I think you'll
really enjoy reading some of the many student observations we received
in the Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries research study.
At this time of the year when you might wonder if you had an impact or
made a difference, treat yourself to some reassurance.
I also want to repeat a post I made a few months ago. OELMA (The Ohio
Educational Library Media Association) has taken the Ohio Research Study
one step further by working with Dr. Todd to develop a professional
staff development module called "Can you Find the Evidence-based
Practice in your School Library?" Dr. Todd, himself, will be in Ohio
on July 20th and 21st to present the one-day workshop. Enrollment is
open to all school librarians and we would be delighted to see some
librarians from our neighboring states at the workshop. The workshop
will be held in the Dayton area and all the information is available
online at http://www.oelma.org/professional/2005Institute.asp .
I'm more than happy to answer any questions, also. Registration is
open until July 1, 2005. Dr. Todd is a delightful speaker and I know
you will enjoy spending a day with him, if you are able to come to one
of our one-day workshops. We did a "trial run" of this workshop at our
annual conference last fall and it was very well received in the
evaluations. It's one of those things that empowers you and gives you
an opportunity to gather information about your work.
If you want to turn your learning adventure into a little family
summer-fun time, Dayton is home to the National Air Force Museum.

Dayton Art Institute, an amazing art museum for a city the size of
Dayton.
