Programming for the 2006 DLA
Annual Conference Begins
The Conference Planning Committee has started
work on planning for the 2006 Annual
Conference of the Delaware Library Association
and asks DLA members to help plan their
conference.
The DLA Annual Conference will be held on
Friday, May 19, 2006 at the Dover Sheraton
Hotel. This year the conference will include a
dinner and an evening event. The goal is to
have at least two keynote speakers, one at lunch
and another at the dinner. The Planning
Committee is considering, as an alternative to an
awards breakfast, the presentation of awards at
more than one program during the day. Some
awards would be presented first thing in the
morning at an awards program to make it
convenient for school and government officials to
be present when their colleagues are receiving
awards. Other awards would be presented at
lunch or during the division business
meetings. A continental breakfast associated
with registration will be offered to all conference
attendees.
There is interest in offering programming on the
issue of the health care divide possibly tied to a
theme of accessibility to information. Lt.
Governor Carney has been invited to speak on the
health care divide. While he cannot commit to
the date this far in advance of the conference, he
has tentatively accepted.
One suggestion for the evening event is an
author signing. The author or authors would be
the keynote speaker(s) at dinner.
Other ideas for programming include asking an
ALA officer to speak and providing an update on
ALA Council featuring present and past
Delaware councilors. Again this year, the
divisions will each be developing two programs
and contributing ideas for the conference theme
and keynote speakers. If you have programming
ideas or suggestions for speakers, please contact a
member of the Conference Planning Committee:

School Librarian Shows Class, “Why Go
Buy the Book When You Can Go By the
Library?”
Continued above
Building on State
Treasurer Jack
Markell's program:
"Read! Using your
Library is an
Investment in your
Future," school
librarian Kelly De
Leon , s c h o o l
librarian for North
G e o r g e t o w n
Elementary in the
I n d i a n River
School District,
created an exercise
for her classes that took Mr. Markell’s example to
a higher level. “My students' task was to find an
estimated value of our school's library by creating
a shelf list, then searching the titles on the
internet, finding a library binding price if
possible. We then took a class average for both
fiction and non-fiction shelves, multiplied by the
number of titles in the library, then found an
estimated value of our library.” Taking it even
further Kelly had her fourth and fifth graders
estimate the amount of money they saved every
school year by checking out books from their
library verses buying books from a bookstore.
After creating the estimate with over 35 classes,
the value ranged from about $110,000 to
$150,000. The students also concluded that the
non-fiction section of the library was more costly
to replace.
Working with State Treasurer Jack Markell,
librarians across Delaware are distributing books,
bookmarks, reading logs, recommended reading
lists and other materials to Delaware’s
schoolchildren. The theme of this new campaign
is “Read! Using Your Library is an Investment in
Your Future!” Through the program, children
further their appreciation of libraries as places to
build their knowledge. They also understand that
by reading more, they learn more. And by
learning more, they earn more. The students are
Delaware School Library Media
Association Offers Mini-Grant
School librarians today do an amazing job of
connecting students and reading. With limited
budgets, dated materials and growing
enrollments, the librarians are finding many ways
to create fun and exciting programs for their
students. The Delaware School Library Media
Association is offering the opportunity for one of
its members to receive a $250 mini-grant. The
purpose of this mini-grant is to provide funds for
innovative programs that focus on reading for
fun.
Completed applications must be received by the
DSLMA Executive Board by December 15,
2005. Depending on the amount of funding
requested by applicants, the Board may award up
to a total of $250. This amount may be given to
one applicant in full or divided up among
applicants according to project needs.
Recipients will be notified and funding will be
presented by February 1, 2006. Recipients must
agree to share their projects in a session at the
spring Delaware Library Association Conference.

CRLD's fall conference, Trick or Treats of Blogging
will be Friday October 21, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at
Delaware State University's William C. Jason
Library in Dover. We will have light refreshments
from 9:30-10. CRLD members are encouraged to
register by October 7th. After October 7th we will
take registrations from other DLA members. Seating
is limited to about 20 at this time. To register email
Mary Rose Durk at mdurk@desu.edu. Please include
your phone number and email address. I will
respond with directions and parking instructions.
Please note, I work the 4 p.m.-12 p.m. shift Monday-
Thursday and 2 p.m.-10 p.m. on Sunday so you may
not get a response that day. I am also going to be on
vacation from October 4-11th.
Lunch will be at Applebee's on your own.
Applebee's is located across the highway from DSU.
CRLD will be treating our two speakers to lunch
only. Let me know if you are interested in joining
us. I will need to reserve a table.
If we have enough requests we may schedule
another week for another class about blogging. That
will be determined by Stephen and Jane and the cost
of gas.
Stephen and Jane are also presenting at the Virtual
Library conference in San Francisco in November.
Subject: Trick or Treats of Blogging
This session is intended to first discuss the latest
phenomenon of blogs. Librarians are the type of
people who like to look under the hood and kick the
tires of new information services before they jump
onto fads. Discussion will be on blog technology as
well as avenues for practice. Following this session,
you will have direct hands on experience in creating
and managing a blog. You will learn how to not
only do but undo actions. Please come prepared by
registering first with www.bloglines.com.!!

During the fall, the New Castle County Libraries
will host a county-wide reading and discussion event
called NEW CASTLE COUNTY READS ...”Riding
the Bus with My Sister”, which will feature the
bestselling book by author Rachel Simon. Book
discussions and other events related to the program
will be concentrated in late Sept. – late Nov.,
highlighted by two presentations by the author. Ms.
Simon will speak at the Newark Library on Friday,
Nov. 4, at 7:00 p.m., and at the Brandywine
Hundred Library on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 2:00 p.m.
“Riding the Bus with My Sister” is a memoir in
which author Rachel Simon chronicles a year spent
riding city buses with her mentally challenged sister,
and how it changed her outlook on life. Published
originally in 2002, the book was recently made into
a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV special starring Rosie
O’Donnell and Andi McDowell.
Local book discussion groups are being encouraged
to make the book one of their selections during the
coming months, and additional related programs will
take place at various libraries. The DART transit
system and WJBR radio are cosponsors of the
program.

UD Library Creates Constitution Day Delaware Friends’ Corner
Web Site
The University of Delaware Library has created a
new library web page titled, “Constitution Day” in
observance of federal Constitution Day, Sept. 17.
The guide presents selected print and electronic
resources relating to the Constitution and to
Delaware's role in its ratification. Delaware was the
first of the 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution,
making it "the First State." Additionally, the page
links to other resource pages, such as National
Archives, the Library of Congress, and the U.S.
Department of Education. Some of these resource
pages include resources especially designed for
teachers.
The page was created by Rebecca Knight, reference
librarian and government documents subject
specialist. The “Constitution Day” page is a featured
link on the University of Delaware Library web page
(http://www.lib.udel.edu/). After Constitution Day,
the page will remain on the library web site, though
the featured link will be removed (search library web
to find it).

DLA Bulletin Sept./Oct. Page 6
Okay so now I have mapped all the data for the
Kent, Sussex and Delaware Tech databases, do you
know what I’m going to do now? Hope I don’t have
to do that ever again any time soon. As you can tell,
we have passed another major milestone for the
Delaware Library Catalog. The first data extractions
took place last month and using that data I matched
up all of the Dynix/Horizon codes, items and patrons
to their new fields in SirsiDynix Unicorn. Now it is
all in the hands of our data loader at SirsiDynix. She
will apply the map to the data she has and Presto!
we have a system. Actually that is not quite right.
We then have to test the integrity of the data by
checking records in the old system and see how they
look in the new. We will be doing that after the
Implementation Team training in the first week of
November.
Completing this part of the project along with the
policies I finished last month brings more and more
of the ILS into focus. We can see how our decisions
have a ripple effect across the system. Fortunately
the involved libraries have all been really good about
coming together as a group and the team has been
quick to recognize potential trouble spots and arrive
at solutions for them. With this part of the project
complete, I can turn my attention now to training,
my own and the staff members of the libraries using
the system. More on that in the next bulletin.

In the System
A Whole New Mind: Moving from
the Information Age to the
Conceptual Age by Daniel H. Pink
explains that as the world moves
from the dominance of the “left-brain”
thinkers who gave life to the
Information Age, it is the holistic
and artistic “right-brain” abilities
that marks who gets ahead and who
gets left behind. His book highlights the social and
economic issues of this change and provides guides
for surviving in this new world. Drawing on
research from around the world Dan Pink has
included in the book exercises, tools and tips to help
you hone your mental abilities.
“If all the Delaware Library Community Read the
Same Book…,” features work of relevance and
interest to the entire library community. It
represents a shared professional development
opportunity between the Delaware Division of
Libraries and all Delaware libraries. The intent is to
foster communication between librarians, staff,
volunteers, Friend’s and trustees and join with the
Division of Libraries as they continue to explore and
address issues and trends of importance to today’s
libraries.
