I'm one of the presenters of this workshop. ~~~~ Cataloging for School Media Staff: A MOTSE Workshop Wednesday, June 11, from 9-4 p.m. Minneapolis Community and Technical College Library, Room L1200 In this workshop, a day of face-to-face instruction on cataloging basics is paired with detailed follow-up online over a two-week period for a mini-course in cataloging designed just for school media staff. Day 1 brings everyone together for an overview of the MARC record and the most frequent editing changes made in copy cataloging, along with an in-depth discussion on current issues including outsourcing, changing cataloging standards, and setting priorities. This sets the stage for online follow-up using WebJunction to address issues in greater depth. Online modules will include instruction on using Dewey Decimal Classification, applying Sears subject headings, handling multiple editions, and addressing leveled materials. This workshop will have something for everyone involved in cataloging in school media centers, from the beginner to the experienced cataloger. Space is limited. Register today by contacting: http://www.minitex.umn.edu/events/training/oclc.asp#193 This workshop is offered at no charge. Lunch and parking instructions will be sent directly to registered attendees. Documentation for continuing education credits will be provided upon request. The Institute of Museum and Library Services, a Federal agency that fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, and State Library Services & School Technology, the Minnesota State Library Agency, supports this MOTSE workshop with funding under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). ~~~~ -- Virginia Heinrich Instructor/Librarian/Library Operations Coordinator Minneapolis Community and Technical College 612-659-6296/800-247-0911 AIM: MCTC Heinrich virginia.heinrich (at) minneapolis.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.

I will be on a panel about comics and children's literature. The all day event is free. c o m i c s T e n M i n u t e s A f t e r T h e B i g B a n g ! Friday, June 6, 2008, Cantor Film Center at NYU , 36 East 8 Street Over the past few years comics have escaped from the shtetl and entered the salon. A Big Bang has exploded the assumption that the medium is inherently immature, and comics have hurtled into the worlds of bok publishing (as literature for adults and children), contemporary art, the academy and literary criticism. This one-day program will spotlight major creators of and commentators on comics, highlighting key trends and debates facing comics in this new, “post-bang†environment. 11:00-12:15: Comics and Canon Formation Rob Storr (moderator), John Carlin and Dan Nadel 1:30 - 2:45 Comics and Kid’s Lit Françoise Mouly (moderator), Lisa von Drasek, Leonard Marcus, Mo Willems and Sara Varon 3:00 - 4:15 Comics and the Literary Establishment Jeet Heer (moderator), Hillary Chute, David Hajdu, Douglas Wolk 5:30 - 6:45 Comics and the Internet Kent Worcester (moderator), Sarah Boxer, Shaenon Garrity, Hope Larson, Siva Vaidhyanathan 7:00 - 8:00 Art Spiegelman and Gary Panter in conversation 8:15 - 9:30 Hillary Chute interviews Lynda Barry Sponsored by the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU and the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA).

Just reading all the emails about scanning problems and books on the shelf that weren't checked in. That has been a problem here too, along with old barcode numbers that are too wide for the scanner to read (hand type); fewer than 14 digits (use the load number and the numbers; change barcodes when you have time. I still have about 300 books to do); books checked in when the connection has been lost and you have to re-log in (kids hear the beep think it's OK); and scanning stacks of books only to find that any combination of the afore mentioned problems occurred and trying to figure out where to start again. Then there's the cursor and if there was no click in the box, scan away the books aren't in, but were probably returned to the shelf and still on the records. I think this shows that "self-check" out/ in has some problems. It also shows that as carefully as we all try to work mistakes will be made. Finally it shows that the program probably needs to be tweaked somewhat. I remember that ACCENT and I think Winnebago also had similar problems. Another problem I'd like to see taken care of is the lost barcodes when I type a list in by hand. There must be a part of cyberspace that has hundreds of our barcodes floating around because so many didn't print after the first typing.

Based on your e-mails in answer to my target question, the following short list was generated: *Why we weed:* - If the only books available are out of date, the students will come to see their library as "second rate" and less than reliable. *Why we don't wite-out the text in books:*** - The cost in terms of time, money, salaries and wite-out would be more than the cost of new books. - It is copyright infringement to alter the text. - Parts of books whited out=censorship. ****************************************************************************************************************************** Original Post: Dear LM_Netters, I think I am about to begin a massive weeding of career books. While the books are not ancient, the information in terms of salaries, college tuitions, and job outlook is extremely inaccurate. On the other hand, I have excellent online databases and websites for career information. Another librarian suggested to an administrator that these books need not be discarded, that the inaccurate information could be crossed out or wite-ed-out. After my eyes popped out of my head at the other librarian's suggestion, I offered that wite-ing-out parts of a book would be a copyright violation. But I think I need a short list of reasons why we weed and discard, and why we never wite-out the information in a book. I am tempted to go on a lengthy tirade about this issue and I think I just need a short list for back-up. Thanks in advance. ************************************ Debra Gniewek, Librarian CRHS South Holland, PA vm: 215-944-1175 fax: 215-944-1144 dgniewek@crsd.org debgniewek@gmail.com ********************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.

Here is my original request and the responses that I received. Thanks to those who responded: _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Original request: I'm creating some professional development programs / presentations that will be a "hands-on" session for librarians who want to learn ways to integrate technology into their lesson plans. So, to be a little more realistic with some of the actual projects, plans, or lessons that need to be changed into a technology-infused project to teach students in elementary, middle, or high school levels, I thought I'd ask you for some ideas. What lessons are you currently teaching that you feel need an "upgrade" through technology? You may post to me privately and I'll share at HIT if others are interested in the topics, the ideas, and some suggestions. (I'd like at least two to three ideas from each level--- elementary, middle, and high school---so please don't think that just because you work with kindergarteners ---or seniors--- that your project might not be of interest. I'm interested in expanding project ideas at all levels!) _____________________________________________________________________________ I am getting my Masters in Instructional Technology. Last semester we designed interactive lesson plans on a Moodle site. I was very impressed because the students can visit the material at their own rate and interact with each other through Blogs and discussion boards. We developed a Moodle on Pioneer Website, which is Utah's educational website. Others developed sites on Website credibility, Big 6 and Cyber bullies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel sometimes like my lessons are awful. This is my 2nd year as librarian. I am a former reading teacher. I teach only 5th and 6th grades. In 5th I teach the Dewey Decimal System. I try to be creative, but I don't feel the energy I would like. In 6th grade I teach Power Library and citations/research project. The kids hate it. The premise is they can invite a celebrity to speak at the middle school. They use Big 6 for research and then after note-taking they must write a persuasive letter to our principal (including citation). If you can think of any way to "jazz" up Dewey or any other lessons, I would be grateful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the first lessons I do with my students is on book care (I'm sure like everyone else), but I like to integrate the Smart Board. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using an interactive white board, no matter the producer, document camera, and data projector will boost any lesson. We are also using Interactive Video Conferencing to boost lessons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will be doing an IVC this Thursday using "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" as my jump off. I have two CD's, the doll and critters to stuff into her mouth, and I believe I also have the flannel board story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I jumped at the chance to use the IVC cart to teach other children. I had a great time doing the lesson with my own kids here at school. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our students are entirely flex except for two library orientation sessions at the beginning of the year (per class). Students work in centers when their teachers send them in groups during the week. Classes do, however, sign up for genre (also a center), citation, website integrity, and other research skill sessions every so often. Centers include drama (writing & performing plays/reader's theater); a highlighted genre (various activities that involve story elements); gaming center with chess, checkers, Scrabble, and many other games that require thinking/vocabulary skills; a rabbit habitat, tortoise home and various amphibians (with live inhabitants); a science center with experiments to perform; a computer center for Internet research; a comfy reading area; and a listening center with audio books. This may not be what you are looking for and TMI, but if you can use it and offer any suggestions, I hope you will. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey-- What about technology ideas for freshman orientation? ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ~Shonda -- Shonda Brisco, BA Ed., MLIS Library Media / Technology Specialist Weatherford, TX 76086 Digital Bookends wiki / blog: http://digitalbookends.pbwiki.com http://shonda.edublogs.org/ sbrisco@gmail.com Resources for Texas School Librarians: http://txschoollibrarians.ning.com/ http://txschoollibrarians.wikispaces.com/ "Digital Resources" columnist School Library Journal -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
