...Annotated Bibliography Tabatha L. Clow University of Phoenix Taylor, M.M. (2004). Leadership in Literacy Education Reform: A Constructivist Learning and Culturally Responsive Perspective (Doctoral Dissertation). Retrieved December 10, 2009, from Dissertations & Theses @ University of Phoenix. (UMI No.:3136143) This dissertation study is a comparison between constructivist learn and culturally responsive teaching (CLCRT) and traditional instructive approaches and how they comply with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The CLCRT is a model on how to improve reading literacy for the disadvantaged and minority students while initiating school reform required by the NCLB. The CLCRT model examines pedagogy very carefully and informs school leadership about the effects of the pedagogy theory on students’. A PDS model (Professional Development School) was developed to help school leadership with the education reform strategies. We look at the PDS model and see that when teachers, school leadership and parents work together students’ grades improve. This study shows the importance of school leadership and teachers working together to implement new programs like the CLCRT education reform model. Horwitz, F.M., Bravington, D., & Silvis, U.

...Project Management Case Studies These case studies represent a range of projects in different libraries. They are all based on real events. The participating librarians were asked to provide details of projects within the headings used in the case study template which is located at the end of this document. Each case study is presented using these headings to enable the reader to make comparisons between the projects but there is some slight variation of style and detail. Although some editing has been done by the writer of these learning objects, the intention is to retain as much of the individuality of each project as possible. Brief conclusion and analysis is provided at the end of each case study by the writer of these learning objects. Several of the projects are ongoing at the time of writing. This partly reflects the nature of projects in ILS whereby they run parallel to mainstream service delivery. This offers real challenges for those involved and especially for the project leader who will continually need to prioritise the tasks, commitment and speed of working towards completion. None of these projects have been submitted by or directly involve senior managers. Although most have some approval and reporting to senior staff, these projects are managed by professionals in the middle management strata of their organizations and involve different grades of staff or volunteers. Senior staff are less accessible than middle managers and would probably claim to...

...Douglass Library, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, 848-932-5009 Hannah Kwon, PhD Student, Rutgers SC&I, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Abstract Despite the considerable attention paid to the need to increase the information literacy of high school students in preparation for the transition to college, poor research skills still seem to be the norm. To gain insight into the problem, library instruction environments of nineteen high schools were explored. The schools were selected based on whether their graduates did well or poorly on information-skills assignments integrated in a required first-year college course. The librarians in the nineteen schools were asked to characterize their working relationships with teachers, estimate their students’ information-literacy achievement, and provide data on their staffing and budgets. Findings suggest that school librarians are seldom in a position to adequately collaborate with teachers and that their opportunities to help students achieve information literacy are limited. Introduction The study reported in this paper was inspired by observations made by students in the Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey in the United States. For many years, MLIS students in both the Information Literacy: Learning and Teaching and the Field Experience courses commented that undergraduates whom they encountered as part of their assignments were poor users of academic library resources...

...Introduction In the 2000s, more and more electronic resources have become part of the stock of most libraries. The complex issues surrounding the selection and management of electronic information resources may arise many problems. Written collection development policies are suggested to solve these problems. Thus the library should update its collection management policy document, which was several years old, to adapt the changes in this 21st century. The purposes of this essay are to discuss the importance of written collection management policy and the methods of revising the document relevant to a library at the beginning of the 2000s. Collection Development Policy According to Evans (1995), “Collection development” and “Collection management” are often used with much the same meaning – the process of meeting the information needs of a service population in a timely and economic manner using information resources locally held as well as from other organizations. Jenkins and Morley (1999) explain that “Collection development” implies building and growing, dealing with the selection and acquisition of library materials, while “Collection management” emphasizes the systematic management of a library’s existing collection, rather than selection and acquisition. However, American Library Association (1996) states that collection development includes selection, acquisition, user assessment, collection evaluation, collection maintenance and weeding. It is usually...

...There are many ways to define information literacy. Information literacy affects some facets of scholarship practice, and leadership. “Information literacy has the ability to identify what information needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the source for information needed, located those sources, evaluate them critically, and share the information” (Turusheva, 2009, p. 126). At the University of Maryland there are Library-led Faculty Workshops that teach educators how to meet information literacy goals in their classroom (Miller, et al.). According to the article educators participation in the hands- on activities and discussions among their colleague, information about the university, information literacy standard, library resources and services, free Web tools, and the best way to implement how to design class assignments involving library research (Miller, et al.). To meet literacy goals for students, educators, and Librans collaboration is essential. The Association for College and Research Libraries (n. d.) emphasizes for the collaboration to be successful, there needs to be a partnership between the Liberians and the educators. To successful implement it on campus, information literacy depends on the collaboration between classroom educators, academic administrators, Librans, and other professionals (Miller, et. al). An educator has a vital role in providing information literacy whether in elementary, secondary, post-secondary, or...

...OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES IN SUPPORTING RESEARCHERS’ INFORMATION NEEDS Arinawati Ayob Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 USM Pulau Pinang ABSTRACT As one of the supporting departments of a university, the academic library plays an important role in providing essential information resources and services to the researchers. Changes in information technology have impacted libraries due to changes in the format of information resources and the information seeking behavior of users. Technology has transformed the way researchers seek, obtain and use information. Libraries therefore need to critically examine the effectiveness of their services in fulfilling their researchers‟ information needs. An assessment of the effectiveness of library services has been conducted at an academic library based on selected criteria in four domains stated in the literature; 1) resources 2) services 3) library/stakeholders interactions and 4) access. The result from the survey has provided ideas about the strengths and the weaknesses of the library services from the perspective of researchers. The research also studied the relationship between demographic characteristics and library activities of the researchers and their perceived effectiveness of the library services in supporting their information needs. Keywords: Library Assessment; Outcome Assessment; User Studies; Effectiveness of Academic Library; Researchers‟ Information...
