The resource section is not meant to be all-inclusive. Please remember that, although the Web site addresses were accurate at the time of publication of this document, Web site addresses frequently change and may necessitate the need to search for the information by name of item instead of URL. Information printed in this section was submitted to the Department by a variety of individuals associated with the various topics presented. Additional information was adapted from agency/organization Web sites. ACCESS FOR ALL This section contains information regarding access for library patrons with disabilities. Access for Library Patrons with Disabilities Adaptive materials and assistive technologies provide many people with disabilities better access to education, careers and life experiences. Effective school library media programs should have written procedures that provide information about the services and adaptive technologies available that ensure equitable access to information for all members of the school community. Adaptive materials should be available or readily accessible to a library media center. They can increase the independence, capabilities and productivity of people with disabilities and may include: • Large-print and Braille materials; • Books with low reading levels; • Books in audio format; • Book stands and page turners; • Magnifiers; • Tactile maps and globes; • Software with large-print screen output and/or sign language; • Open- and closed-captioned videotapes. Assistive Devices may include: • Closed circuit television to enlarge print; • Closed-captioned decoders for videos and equipment; • Remote controls for equipment; • Alternative inputs to computers such as head control or touch screens; • Speech synthesizers or computer-to-speak screens; • Braille embossers and printers; • Braille keyboards and translation software; • Computers with voice recognition software, talking calculators, modified keyboards and/or on- screen keyboards. 226 L I B R A R Y G U I D E L I N E S Additional information regarding assistive technologies, access to devices and professional development for teachers may be obtained by contacting the Ohio Department of Education's Office for Exceptional Children and/or ORCLISH (an organization which provides services to parents and educators of students with low incidence and severe disabilities). • ORCLISH www.orclish.org AREA MEDIA CENTERS * The Area Media Center structure may change as a result of the Ohio Regional Education Delivery System (OREDS) plan. The Ohio Area Media Centers (AMC) are a partner in Ohio's library network. The AMC collection contains more than 100,000 curriculum-related resources including videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs, videodiscs, multimedia kits, audio books, equipment, material in digital formats and much more. The resources housed in the AMC collection are selected by Ohio teachers. The collection is available online. The Web catalog helps teachers locate and reserve materials from any computer at school or at home for delivery to their buildings. • Ohio Area Media Center Directory www.infohio.org/medianet/AMCDirectory.html • Online Catalogs www.infohio.org/Medianet/medianet.html BALDRIGE IN EDUCATION INITIATIVE Visit the Baldrige Web page by accessing the Ohio Department of Education's Web Site at this URL: www.ode.state.oh.us and search the word “Baldrige.” What is Baldrige? Baldrige has become a generic term used to describe a systemic framework of quality concepts designed to improve the overall effectiveness of any organization by raising expectations, building capacity and improving results for all the stakeholders. This framework may be used by organizational stakeholders to guide improvement of an organization. Organizations that choose to proceed with the learning experience of participating in an awards process may participate in either or both national (Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award) or state (Ohio Award for Excellence) award-application processes. Baldrige in Education Initiative (BiE IN) The Ohio BiE IN State Leadership Team has provided a framework for leading change. It is a long-term commitment to strategically change the culture of Ohio's education system through the alignment of the education policy, professional development, legislative and service delivery organizations. 227 L I B R A R Y G U I D E L I N E S The State Education Goals drafted by the BiE IN State Leadership team are to: • Assure higher achievement for all learners. Preserve and nurture enthusiasm for learning; • Promote a safe and orderly learning environment; • Help every generation learn, enhance and practice the character traits that are valued by its community; • Support efficient, effective and continuously improving systems of learning. The BiE IN is designed to develop a "problems down, solutions up" collaborative work culture. Ohio, with the assistance of the BiE IN work, aims to become a professional learning community that goes "wider" by connecting with the legislative, business and education service communities that have traditionally been seen as external to the education organization. BiE IN goes "deeper" by taking the time to explore the fundamental purposes and values of education. 228 L I B R A R Y G U I D E L I N E S BOOK AWARDS Awards listed in this section are presented to authors and illustrators of notable work produced within a specific time period.

Her father has mysteriously disappeared ten year ago, and after answering, four years later, a newspaper advert enquiring for her, she has begun to receive each year, on the same date, a precious pearl in the post from an unknown benefactor. Now, with the last pearl, she has also received a message, telling her she is a wronged woman" and asking for a meeting that very night outside the Lyceum Theatre. Will the great detective accompany her and help her unravel the mystery? First published in 1880, The Sign of Four - the second Sherlock Holmes novel after A Study in Scarlet, published three years earlier - will sweep the readers away into a story of murders, betrayals, double-crossings and stolen treasures, and is an enduring testament to the storytelling genius of Arthur Alma Books Conan Doyle.
