Library Measurements - how to show evidence of library instruction

 

Idea #1: Create a Library blog similar in format to CSLA's School Library Learning 2.0 blog.  Examples include:

 

  • LICENSE TO DRIVE ONLINE. Communications Technology Ethics, Internet safety, Copyright, Piracy, Plagariam, and other topics -- all essential for students, teachers, and parents BEFORE signing annual Internet AUPs (Acceptable Use Policy.) School district AUPs protect the districts from liability but do little or nothing to inform and educate the users (teachers/students) or parents about what they are agreeing to. A "License to Drive Online" tutorial would be a prequisite to signing the AUPs each year. Each district could create/modify the License to meet their needs and include their district branding.

 

  • LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP - RESEARCH TOOLS. Introduction to school eDatabases such as school library subscription eDatabases, public eDatabases (i.e., Library of Congress American Memory, UCOP's Calisphere), curriculum-supporting eSoftware (see www.clrn.com) We all jump onto Google or other search engines, but for serious research it is important to first understand the broader research topic, identify key words, look at safe/quality resources and then check the Internet. Many students reach high school and higher education without gaining strong research skills. As a result, they arrive underprepared at college and will struggle, especially if they have other weak skills such as reading and writing.

 

  • Library Instruction.  (similar to License to Drive) Students would work through a series of mini-library lessons and post their reactions and discoveries on their own school blog.   This would be a way to record visible measurements for the library and library instruction.   For example, select short online tutorials on topics such as copyright, plagariam, or Internet safety and instruct students to take or re-take certain lessons as appropriate throughout the school year.  If you had a series of tutorials that students work through each year, you would have an excellent measurement and your students would have a tool to refer back to.  Would this be a good DISTRICT library team project?  Or a CSLA tool for members?
