Among the recipients were seven school librarians from around the state who were also presented with plaques, honor pins and a check from MBNA. For the honorees, this certification process involved a year of study with the completion of a portfolio and an assessment test. National Board Certification is a symbol of professional teaching excellence. A certificate will attest that a teacher was judged by his or her peers as one who is accomplished, makes sound professional judgments about students' best interests and acts effectively on those judgments. Delaware school librarians who received the certification this past year are (from left to right in picture): Mary Beth Paris –Talley Middle School in Brandywine School District Maria Gregors – Redding Middle School in Appoquinimink School district Mecedes Dinunzio – Brookside Elementary School in Christina School District Donna Reed – Newark High School in Christina School District Barbara Fitzpatrick – Ross Elementary in Milford School District Janet Shaw – Shue-Medill Middle School in Christina School District Jane Stewart – Simpson Elementary School in Caesar Rodney School District -submitted by Janet Shaw DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 2 David Shannon is a Calde c ot t Honor author/ illustrator, creator of the “No, David!” series of picture books as well as many other books. C h i l d r e n ’ s librarians will also see his work in the illustrations for the 2006 Summer Reading Program, “Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tales.” He graciously joined Penny Peck of the San Leandro Public Library, San Leandro, CA for an interview. You collaborate by illustrating books written by others but also write and illustrate on your own. Do you plan to continue doing both? A: Yes, there are things I like about each of them. I like illustrating my own stories because I can work with the words and pictures at the same time. I think I can do more interesting things with telling the story. But I like illustrating stories by other people; too, because they take me to places I wouldn’t go on my own. Many librarians know the story of your Caldecott Honor Book, No, David! Which evolved from drawings you did as a kid. Do you have more books starring David coming out? A: I have three board books that came out this year. They’re called “Diaper David” books because they’re about David as a baby. Unlike No, David! These are based more on my experiences as a father than as a kid. Any other new books coming out soon you can tell us about? A: Yes, I have a book coming out in the spring called Good Boy, Fergus!. It’s about my dog. He’s a little white terrier that you can find somewhere in all my books. He’s been bugging me for years for his own book, so now he’s finally getting it. And boy is he full of himself! Interview with David Shannon Continued from below How did you get your foot in the door of the publishing industry? What was your first published book? A: I kind of came in the back door. I was already pretty well established as an editorial illustrator. I did a lot of work for publications like the “New York Times” and “Time” magazine. Someone at Scholastic saw a piece I’d done for the “Book Review” and called me about a manuscript they had by Julius Lester called How Many Spots Does A Leopard Have?. It was a collection of wonderful African and Jewish folktales so I agreed to illustrate it, thinking it would be a nice break from the 24- hour deadlines I was used to. I thought I’d only do the one book, but when that came out other people sent me manuscripts, and I began to realize that illustrating stories was what I had liked doing since I was a kid. In fact, I was drawing pictures of the same things I drew as a kid – Indians, pirates, baseball players, knights, and finally, David! Is there any artist who inspired you? Or other picture book illustrators you always look forward to seeing? A: When I was about eight years old my uncle gave me his copy of A Boy’s King Arthur which was illustrated by N. C. Wyeth, and Wyeth has been a big influence on me ever since. He just made everything look so cool. I always look forward to seeing whatever Lane Smith or Mark Teague come out with. I went to school with Lane, and he’s always been extremely innovative and fun. Mark’s stuff is a lot of fun, too, and he’s a wonderful storyteller. How did you get involved in creating the wonderful artwork for the 2006 Summer Reading Program “Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tales?” A: I became involved with “Paws” in pretty much the usual way. I think I was contacted through Scholastic, and when I heard the title I knew it was something I wanted to do. Libraries in 33 states will be using this summer reading theme and your artwork – how amazing is that? David Shannon with Fergus Continued above Continued on next page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 3 Larissa Gordon is the new full-time librarian at the Dover Library Center, having started on July 1, 2005. She is responsible for providing instruction, library services, and resources to students and faculty located in the Dover area and is a liaison with the Betze Library staff at Delaware Technical & Community College Owens Campus, which serves Wilmington College students and faculty. Larissa graduated from Drexel University with her Master’s degree in Library and Information Science in May 2005 and received her undergraduate degree in history from Ursinus College. She recently relocated from Philadelphia to the Claymont area. Andrea Reed joined the library staff on January 2, 2005 as a library assistant. Andrea assists in both the public service and technical service areas. She is a graduate of Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, and is new to Delaware. Andrea replaces Patti Poplos who relocated to North Carolina. Patti had been with Wilmington College since January 1997. Jane Bruton, Library Director, has retired as of January 31, 2006. Jane began her career at Wilmington College in August 1989 and became library director in July 1996. She is a member of Beta Phi Mu, international library and information science honor society, and is a graduate of Drexel University’s College of Information Science & Technology as well as Wilmington College and West Chester University. During Jane’s 16 years at Wilmington College, the library moved into a new facility, two satellite library centers were opened, and the library embraced technology with the number of public access computers growing from 8 workstations in 1995 to 35 workstations in 2006. Jane also served as a member on five evaluation teams representing the Commission on Higher Education for Middle States Association. Her most memorable visit was to Caribbean University in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. James McCloskey has been appointed the new Library Director, effective upon Jane Bruton’s retirement. He comes to Wilmington College from the Wolfgram Memorial Library at Widener University where he was the head of Public Services. -submitted by Jane Burton A: Isn’t that great?! I hope Wilmington College Library News everyone gets a kick out of it. Did they have a summer reading program at your library when you were a kid? A: Not when I was in grade school, but my middle school had a pretty hefty list of required reading. Good books, though, like Pinocchio. I remember being really impressed with how different it was from the Disney version! Do you visit schools and public libraries to talk to kids about your books? A: I used to visit schools and libraries more than I do now. I enjoy it but it’s really hard to find the time these days. My publisher usually is able to work a couple in on a book tour, but otherwise I pretty much only do them for friends of mine who are teachers or have kids in school. Any funny experiences at a school or library visit? Nearly every author or illustrator has a story about the visit that went awry! A: I can’t remember anything going particularly awry, but I’ve had lots of fun experiences with the librarians and the kids. They’ve painted stripes on their faces and dressed up like Alice the Fairy. There’ve been some terrific David masks, too. One year I toured over my birthday and every school I went to seemed to know about it. I got all these wonderful birthday parties with homemade cards and decorations and goodies. When you were a kid, did you have a favorite book? Did you go to the library very often? A: I had a lot of favorite books. I loved Dr. Seuss and Robert McCloskey. I also loved The Story of Ferdinand. Later on I read lots of sports biographies, especially baseball, and most of those came from the library. Any thoughts on the current state of libraries? A: I wish they had more money! I’m appreciating libraries and librarians in whole Continued on next page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 4 DSLMA Mini-Grant Awarded Sue Gooden, librarian at Concord High School in the Brandywine School District is the recipient of the DSLMA Mini-Grant this year. The purpose of the mini-grant is to provide funds for innovative programs that focus on reading for fun. The goals of the program should be to connect students and books and get students excited about reading. Sue Gooden’s program, “Get Guys Reading !” involved 5 different titles by Chris Crutcher – Running Loose, Whale Talk, King of the Mild Frontier, Chinese Handcuffs and Athletic Shorts. Sue knew that finding books to appeal to teen male readers can present problems in many high school libraries. At Concord, Sue has enlisted twelve teachers and administrators to volunteer to read and discuss together the themes presented in the books. In April students will then be invited to read the books and meet to discuss the issues of Crutcher’s works. As Sue says, “With faculty recommending these titles, we hope to get lots of ‘guys reading.’” DLSMA hopes that other innovative programs will consider applying for funds next year – no project is too small! -submitted by Janet Shaw One Stop for New Library Grant Opportunities The new Library Grants Blog, by librarians Pam MacKellar and Stephanie Gerding, provides a free resource for finding library grant and award opportunities. This blog is the only single online location where a librarian can find the latest grants from all types of sources - government, foundations, corporations, organizations, and professional associations - as well as additional opportunities for awards and internships. Examples of current postings include government grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute for Museum and Library Services, foundation grants from the Verizon Foundation and the For All Kids Foundation, awards from the National Library Commission and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, a corporate grant from the Bank of the West, an internship at Cornell University Library, and grants from the American Library Association. For more information on all aspects of grants for libraries, purchase their new Neal-Schuman title, Grants for Libraries at http://www.neal-schuman. com/db/5/505.html. Visit the Library Grants Blog at http:// www.librarygrants.blogspot.com/ for a complete listing of grant opportunities. -submitted by Pam MacKellar Save these dates!! The 2006 ALA National Library Legislative Day events take place on April 30th, May 1st, and May 2nd. On April 30th there is a “Lobbying 101” pre-conference; May 1st is the legislative briefing, and on May 2nd the Congressional Reception and visits. More information about registration will follow in the next DLA Bulletin. -submitted by Lisa Olson Mark your Calendar new ways now that my daughter is in grade school. Her school doesn’t have a full-time librarian be-cause of hiring freezes, but my wife and many oth-ers are working hard to compensate. I’ve seen how much learning energy a good library can generate – it’s pretty amazing! Anything else you would like our readers to know? A: I always get asked if I did all the things David did when I was little. And no, I didn’t do all those things, but I did do some of them. I’m not telling which ones, though! -submitted by Patty Langley David Shannon continued from prev. page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 5 DelAWARE UpDATE They’re always adding, they’re always changing. Vendors of electronic databases have to stay competitive in a stiff market so they are all getting better and better. Good for us and our customers, but we have to make the effort to keep up. To make it easier for busy librarians, I will give you DelAWARE® UpDATE from now on in a bulleted version. So what’s new in the databases? Here’s the best of the latest: EBSCOhost Did you know that beginning in the month of February all EBSCOhost customers will be able to "visually search" EBSCOhost databases? It's true. A new "Visual Search" tab will soon appear that will provide a great complement to the traditional basic and advanced search options.

Page 6 This January staff members from the libraries in the Delaware Library Catalog received their training on the new system. For many this was the first time they saw the software, with the exception of what they covered in the E-learning exercises they took. They will also be seeing the data from our second load. This data has had a MARC record cleanup performed on it, has updated authority files and has been merged. On initial inspection some glitches appear. We do have some records that did not merge correctly. We will be handling that with the people on our team at Sirsi. For most of it, the merging was pretty good. We chose to do a very cautious merge. The result of that is some records were close to merging but did not. Most of the records that differed were either by format type or were missing the key matching points that we specified, specifically, OCLC numbers, ISBN, ISSN or Library of Congress numbers. Looking at these records it is clear that some can be merged further and with human intervention this will be done. The good thing about human intervention is that we will have control over the records and can make decisions based on experience and intuition rather than matching numbers and rules. As for the records that were missing the matching points some of that is due to cataloging differences. As a group, we have come together to share a new database and we must also agree on standards that ensure that all the records in the database have enough information in them. Seeing the data now is a good first step towards where we hope to be with the new catalog and in the weeks leading up to the Go Live date. So far we are getting closer to that goal. -submitted by Vinny Alascia In the System Cartoon “borrowed” from http://www.glasbergen.com/ cat.html What’s the BIG Idea? in Delaware In December 2005, 19 Delaware children’s librarians ventured north to Burlington, Vermont for the first of four conferences to receive professional development in four BIG Ideas. What’s the BIG Idea?, a project of Mother Goose Programs of the Vermont Center for the Book, is a four-year project funded by a $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The title of the project comes from the concept that as children begin to encounter science and mathematics, there are four core areas they need to be introduced to: Patterns and Relationships, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Numbers and Operations, and Change Over Time. Participants in the project include librarians from the city of Houston Public Library; the counties of Franklin-Clinton-Essex Library System in New York and Delaware. The goal of What’s the BIG Idea? is to give public librarians ideas, programming, and materials so that libraries can become centers of science and mathematics programming and resources for young children and families. Sally Anderson, the Executive Director of the Vermont Center for the Book and the Principal Investigator of the project states, “The library is a natural place for children and families to have informal science and math experiences. What the BIG Idea? will give librarians the books, materials and information they need to feel confident and competent introducing young children and their families to great books and new science and math experiences.” The project will also help libraries link up with community partners who can help them increase their science and mathematics expertise and programming. Participating libraries will also receive a variety of resources including a What’s the BIG Idea? Library Resource Guide, program kits with books and exploration materials, book and exploration circulation sets to be loaned to families, materials for use in library displays, loan collections, and a WTBI website with information, bibliographies and explorations. -submitted by Patty Langley DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 7 Can you guess what Leigh Ann DePope, Terry Plummer, Susan Ray, Hilary Welliver, and I all have in common? We earned our graduate library degree from Clarion University of PA. Clarion has been accredited by the American Library Association since 1974 and currently offers courses at four sites, in Clarion, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Last semester I taught Developing Library Collections and Libraries, Literature, and Young Adults for Clarion. I’m teaching History of Children’s Literature this semester and Management of Public Libraries in the summer. As an instructor and as a former student, I’ve found the Clarion staff and faculty to be both helpful and knowledgeable. Are you looking to save money, both on tuition and fuel? The cost to earn a graduate degree through Clarion is much lower compared to other universities, and Clarion offers an online program that does not require any travel. Non-PA residents pay $420 per credit. PA residents pay $256 per credit. Out-of-state residents who take ITV and/or Web courses are charged 102% of in-state tuition. Regular, in-person courses meet during three weekends per semester, from 6 PM – 9:45 PM on Fridays and from 8 AM – 6 PM on Saturdays. The benefit of meeting at the Free Library of Philadelphia is that students (and instructors!) have access to hundreds of online databases and lots of books and other materials. If rural librarianship is your specialty, Clarion might be the school for you! Staff members have been operating the Center for the Study of Rural Librarianship since 1978. This research facility serves library patrons in areas that are geographically isolated from metropolitan library systems.

Among the recipients were seven school librarians from around the state who were also presented with plaques, honor pins and a check from MBNA. For the honorees, this certification process involved a year of study with the completion of a portfolio and an assessment test. National Board Certification is a symbol of professional teaching excellence. A certificate will attest that a teacher was judged by his or her peers as one who is accomplished, makes sound professional judgments about students' best interests and acts effectively on those judgments. Delaware school librarians who received the certification this past year are (from left to right in picture): Mary Beth Paris –Talley Middle School in Brandywine School District Maria Gregors – Redding Middle School in Appoquinimink School district Mecedes Dinunzio – Brookside Elementary School in Christina School District Donna Reed – Newark High School in Christina School District Barbara Fitzpatrick – Ross Elementary in Milford School District Janet Shaw – Shue-Medill Middle School in Christina School District Jane Stewart – Simpson Elementary School in Caesar Rodney School District -submitted by Janet Shaw DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 2 David Shannon is a Calde c ot t Honor author/ illustrator, creator of the “No, David!” series of picture books as well as many other books. C h i l d r e n ’ s librarians will also see his work in the illustrations for the 2006 Summer Reading Program, “Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tales.” He graciously joined Penny Peck of the San Leandro Public Library, San Leandro, CA for an interview. You collaborate by illustrating books written by others but also write and illustrate on your own. Do you plan to continue doing both? A: Yes, there are things I like about each of them. I like illustrating my own stories because I can work with the words and pictures at the same time. I think I can do more interesting things with telling the story. But I like illustrating stories by other people; too, because they take me to places I wouldn’t go on my own. Many librarians know the story of your Caldecott Honor Book, No, David! Which evolved from drawings you did as a kid. Do you have more books starring David coming out? A: I have three board books that came out this year. They’re called “Diaper David” books because they’re about David as a baby. Unlike No, David! These are based more on my experiences as a father than as a kid. Any other new books coming out soon you can tell us about? A: Yes, I have a book coming out in the spring called Good Boy, Fergus!. It’s about my dog. He’s a little white terrier that you can find somewhere in all my books. He’s been bugging me for years for his own book, so now he’s finally getting it. And boy is he full of himself! Interview with David Shannon Continued from below How did you get your foot in the door of the publishing industry? What was your first published book? A: I kind of came in the back door. I was already pretty well established as an editorial illustrator. I did a lot of work for publications like the “New York Times” and “Time” magazine. Someone at Scholastic saw a piece I’d done for the “Book Review” and called me about a manuscript they had by Julius Lester called How Many Spots Does A Leopard Have?. It was a collection of wonderful African and Jewish folktales so I agreed to illustrate it, thinking it would be a nice break from the 24- hour deadlines I was used to. I thought I’d only do the one book, but when that came out other people sent me manuscripts, and I began to realize that illustrating stories was what I had liked doing since I was a kid. In fact, I was drawing pictures of the same things I drew as a kid – Indians, pirates, baseball players, knights, and finally, David! Is there any artist who inspired you? Or other picture book illustrators you always look forward to seeing? A: When I was about eight years old my uncle gave me his copy of A Boy’s King Arthur which was illustrated by N. C. Wyeth, and Wyeth has been a big influence on me ever since. He just made everything look so cool. I always look forward to seeing whatever Lane Smith or Mark Teague come out with. I went to school with Lane, and he’s always been extremely innovative and fun. Mark’s stuff is a lot of fun, too, and he’s a wonderful storyteller. How did you get involved in creating the wonderful artwork for the 2006 Summer Reading Program “Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tales?” A: I became involved with “Paws” in pretty much the usual way. I think I was contacted through Scholastic, and when I heard the title I knew it was something I wanted to do. Libraries in 33 states will be using this summer reading theme and your artwork – how amazing is that? David Shannon with Fergus Continued above Continued on next page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 3 Larissa Gordon is the new full-time librarian at the Dover Library Center, having started on July 1, 2005. She is responsible for providing instruction, library services, and resources to students and faculty located in the Dover area and is a liaison with the Betze Library staff at Delaware Technical & Community College Owens Campus, which serves Wilmington College students and faculty. Larissa graduated from Drexel University with her Master’s degree in Library and Information Science in May 2005 and received her undergraduate degree in history from Ursinus College. She recently relocated from Philadelphia to the Claymont area. Andrea Reed joined the library staff on January 2, 2005 as a library assistant. Andrea assists in both the public service and technical service areas. She is a graduate of Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, and is new to Delaware. Andrea replaces Patti Poplos who relocated to North Carolina. Patti had been with Wilmington College since January 1997. Jane Bruton, Library Director, has retired as of January 31, 2006. Jane began her career at Wilmington College in August 1989 and became library director in July 1996. She is a member of Beta Phi Mu, international library and information science honor society, and is a graduate of Drexel University’s College of Information Science & Technology as well as Wilmington College and West Chester University. During Jane’s 16 years at Wilmington College, the library moved into a new facility, two satellite library centers were opened, and the library embraced technology with the number of public access computers growing from 8 workstations in 1995 to 35 workstations in 2006. Jane also served as a member on five evaluation teams representing the Commission on Higher Education for Middle States Association. Her most memorable visit was to Caribbean University in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. James McCloskey has been appointed the new Library Director, effective upon Jane Bruton’s retirement. He comes to Wilmington College from the Wolfgram Memorial Library at Widener University where he was the head of Public Services. -submitted by Jane Burton A: Isn’t that great?! I hope Wilmington College Library News everyone gets a kick out of it. Did they have a summer reading program at your library when you were a kid? A: Not when I was in grade school, but my middle school had a pretty hefty list of required reading. Good books, though, like Pinocchio. I remember being really impressed with how different it was from the Disney version! Do you visit schools and public libraries to talk to kids about your books? A: I used to visit schools and libraries more than I do now. I enjoy it but it’s really hard to find the time these days. My publisher usually is able to work a couple in on a book tour, but otherwise I pretty much only do them for friends of mine who are teachers or have kids in school. Any funny experiences at a school or library visit? Nearly every author or illustrator has a story about the visit that went awry! A: I can’t remember anything going particularly awry, but I’ve had lots of fun experiences with the librarians and the kids. They’ve painted stripes on their faces and dressed up like Alice the Fairy. There’ve been some terrific David masks, too. One year I toured over my birthday and every school I went to seemed to know about it. I got all these wonderful birthday parties with homemade cards and decorations and goodies. When you were a kid, did you have a favorite book? Did you go to the library very often? A: I had a lot of favorite books. I loved Dr. Seuss and Robert McCloskey. I also loved The Story of Ferdinand. Later on I read lots of sports biographies, especially baseball, and most of those came from the library. Any thoughts on the current state of libraries? A: I wish they had more money! I’m appreciating libraries and librarians in whole Continued on next page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 4 DSLMA Mini-Grant Awarded Sue Gooden, librarian at Concord High School in the Brandywine School District is the recipient of the DSLMA Mini-Grant this year. The purpose of the mini-grant is to provide funds for innovative programs that focus on reading for fun. The goals of the program should be to connect students and books and get students excited about reading. Sue Gooden’s program, “Get Guys Reading !” involved 5 different titles by Chris Crutcher – Running Loose, Whale Talk, King of the Mild Frontier, Chinese Handcuffs and Athletic Shorts. Sue knew that finding books to appeal to teen male readers can present problems in many high school libraries. At Concord, Sue has enlisted twelve teachers and administrators to volunteer to read and discuss together the themes presented in the books. In April students will then be invited to read the books and meet to discuss the issues of Crutcher’s works. As Sue says, “With faculty recommending these titles, we hope to get lots of ‘guys reading.’” DLSMA hopes that other innovative programs will consider applying for funds next year – no project is too small! -submitted by Janet Shaw One Stop for New Library Grant Opportunities The new Library Grants Blog, by librarians Pam MacKellar and Stephanie Gerding, provides a free resource for finding library grant and award opportunities. This blog is the only single online location where a librarian can find the latest grants from all types of sources - government, foundations, corporations, organizations, and professional associations - as well as additional opportunities for awards and internships. Examples of current postings include government grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute for Museum and Library Services, foundation grants from the Verizon Foundation and the For All Kids Foundation, awards from the National Library Commission and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, a corporate grant from the Bank of the West, an internship at Cornell University Library, and grants from the American Library Association. For more information on all aspects of grants for libraries, purchase their new Neal-Schuman title, Grants for Libraries at http://www.neal-schuman. com/db/5/505.html. Visit the Library Grants Blog at http:// www.librarygrants.blogspot.com/ for a complete listing of grant opportunities. -submitted by Pam MacKellar Save these dates!! The 2006 ALA National Library Legislative Day events take place on April 30th, May 1st, and May 2nd. On April 30th there is a “Lobbying 101” pre-conference; May 1st is the legislative briefing, and on May 2nd the Congressional Reception and visits. More information about registration will follow in the next DLA Bulletin. -submitted by Lisa Olson Mark your Calendar new ways now that my daughter is in grade school. Her school doesn’t have a full-time librarian be-cause of hiring freezes, but my wife and many oth-ers are working hard to compensate. I’ve seen how much learning energy a good library can generate – it’s pretty amazing! Anything else you would like our readers to know? A: I always get asked if I did all the things David did when I was little. And no, I didn’t do all those things, but I did do some of them. I’m not telling which ones, though! -submitted by Patty Langley David Shannon continued from prev. page DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 5 DelAWARE UpDATE They’re always adding, they’re always changing. Vendors of electronic databases have to stay competitive in a stiff market so they are all getting better and better. Good for us and our customers, but we have to make the effort to keep up. To make it easier for busy librarians, I will give you DelAWARE® UpDATE from now on in a bulleted version. So what’s new in the databases? Here’s the best of the latest: EBSCOhost Did you know that beginning in the month of February all EBSCOhost customers will be able to "visually search" EBSCOhost databases? It's true. A new "Visual Search" tab will soon appear that will provide a great complement to the traditional basic and advanced search options. We encourage you to watch this 30 second flash movie for a sneak preview of this exciting new tool that we are making available to all customers at no additional charge h t tp: / /www.epnet.com/f l ashViewer.php? marketID=1&topicID=407 Newly revised database page for librarians at http:// www.epnet.com/ Free database: LISTA (Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts – contains indexing and abstracts for more than 600 periodicals, plus books, research reports and proceedings with coverage going back to the mid-1960s Find Title lists Customer Success Center Funding Guides Marketing/Promotional Tools Book Index with Reviews (BIR) and NoveList – I hope everyone is enjoying the ability to find a book in your catalog right from BIR and NoveList.

Page 6 This January staff members from the libraries in the Delaware Library Catalog received their training on the new system. For many this was the first time they saw the software, with the exception of what they covered in the E-learning exercises they took. They will also be seeing the data from our second load. This data has had a MARC record cleanup performed on it, has updated authority files and has been merged. On initial inspection some glitches appear. We do have some records that did not merge correctly. We will be handling that with the people on our team at Sirsi. For most of it, the merging was pretty good. We chose to do a very cautious merge. The result of that is some records were close to merging but did not. Most of the records that differed were either by format type or were missing the key matching points that we specified, specifically, OCLC numbers, ISBN, ISSN or Library of Congress numbers. Looking at these records it is clear that some can be merged further and with human intervention this will be done. The good thing about human intervention is that we will have control over the records and can make decisions based on experience and intuition rather than matching numbers and rules. As for the records that were missing the matching points some of that is due to cataloging differences. As a group, we have come together to share a new database and we must also agree on standards that ensure that all the records in the database have enough information in them. Seeing the data now is a good first step towards where we hope to be with the new catalog and in the weeks leading up to the Go Live date. So far we are getting closer to that goal. -submitted by Vinny Alascia In the System Cartoon “borrowed” from http://www.glasbergen.com/ cat.html What’s the BIG Idea? in Delaware In December 2005, 19 Delaware children’s librarians ventured north to Burlington, Vermont for the first of four conferences to receive professional development in four BIG Ideas. What’s the BIG Idea?, a project of Mother Goose Programs of the Vermont Center for the Book, is a four-year project funded by a $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The title of the project comes from the concept that as children begin to encounter science and mathematics, there are four core areas they need to be introduced to: Patterns and Relationships, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Numbers and Operations, and Change Over Time. Participants in the project include librarians from the city of Houston Public Library; the counties of Franklin-Clinton-Essex Library System in New York and Delaware. The goal of What’s the BIG Idea? is to give public librarians ideas, programming, and materials so that libraries can become centers of science and mathematics programming and resources for young children and families. Sally Anderson, the Executive Director of the Vermont Center for the Book and the Principal Investigator of the project states, “The library is a natural place for children and families to have informal science and math experiences. What the BIG Idea? will give librarians the books, materials and information they need to feel confident and competent introducing young children and their families to great books and new science and math experiences.” The project will also help libraries link up with community partners who can help them increase their science and mathematics expertise and programming. Participating libraries will also receive a variety of resources including a What’s the BIG Idea? Library Resource Guide, program kits with books and exploration materials, book and exploration circulation sets to be loaned to families, materials for use in library displays, loan collections, and a WTBI website with information, bibliographies and explorations. -submitted by Patty Langley DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. Page 7 Can you guess what Leigh Ann DePope, Terry Plummer, Susan Ray, Hilary Welliver, and I all have in common? We earned our graduate library degree from Clarion University of PA. Clarion has been accredited by the American Library Association since 1974 and currently offers courses at four sites, in Clarion, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Last semester I taught Developing Library Collections and Libraries, Literature, and Young Adults for Clarion. I’m teaching History of Children’s Literature this semester and Management of Public Libraries in the summer. As an instructor and as a former student, I’ve found the Clarion staff and faculty to be both helpful and knowledgeable. Are you looking to save money, both on tuition and fuel? The cost to earn a graduate degree through Clarion is much lower compared to other universities, and Clarion offers an online program that does not require any travel. Non-PA residents pay $420 per credit. PA residents pay $256 per credit. Out-of-state residents who take ITV and/or Web courses are charged 102% of in-state tuition. Regular, in-person courses meet during three weekends per semester, from 6 PM – 9:45 PM on Fridays and from 8 AM – 6 PM on Saturdays. The benefit of meeting at the Free Library of Philadelphia is that students (and instructors!) have access to hundreds of online databases and lots of books and other materials. If rural librarianship is your specialty, Clarion might be the school for you! Staff members have been operating the Center for the Study of Rural Librarianship since 1978. This research facility serves library patrons in areas that are geographically isolated from metropolitan library systems.
