  • Library Media Services Providing Service and Leadership for the 21St Century
    Library Media Services Providing service and leadership for the 21st Century San Diego County Office of Education, 2011 ABSTRACT This is a white paper outlining the need for renewed and re-envisioned library media services for San Diego County Schools. The mandates, research and recommendations for school library services and new opportunities to receive information technologies via the Digital Content Portal are presented. San Diego County Office of Education LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES TRANSFORMING LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES: THE NEED, THE CHALLENGE California ranks 51st in the nation with regard to ratio of teacher librarians to students. Research has shown that access to school library services under the direction of a librarian or library teacher increases student achievement. California Education Code (EC) Section 18101: “The State Board of Education shall adopt standards, rules and regulations for school library services.” County offices are asked to support school libraries by providing access to library materials and the services of a professional librarian or library teacher for those districts that can’t afford to support their own library program. Need for alignment of services to Common Core State Standards, Model School Library Standards, and National Educational Technology Standards. The nature of library services is changing—the question is what to change and what to retain. Funding for school library services has decreased significantly in the past 20 years. San Diego county schools need library programs that will support the Common Core Standards. Limited funding combined with changes in technology have led to a plan of updating how SDCOE cost effective and current library services are provided.

  • Borrowing Procedures
    BORROWING PROCEDURES BORROWING POLICIES Interlibrary Loan is the service to obtain materials not available in this library. IUEast and Ivy Tech State College’s faculty, staff and students plus Indiana residents are all eligible to use this service. We first try to order materials from within the Indiana University system for the turnaround time of 5 to 7 days through Request Delivery. The turnaround time within the state of Indiana could be 8 to 10 days. Any request that can only be filled outside the state of Indiana can take up to two weeks. We only search the Indiana University system and the libraries in Indiana for Ivy Tech State College patrons and Indiana residents. The libraries we go to first within the IU system are the campuses at Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Kokomo, Indianapolis, Gary (Northwest), New Albany (Southeast), and Bloomington, in that order. Outside of the IU system, but within Indiana, the libraries are Ball State, Indiana State, University of Indianapolis, Purdue, Notre Dame, Indiana State University, or any academic library in Indiana. Outside of Indiana there are a few libraries that are fast lenders, they are Dayton-Montgomery County Public Library and Middletown Public Library. Requests are to be filled out on the forms provided on-line from our home page at ILLiad. There is no limit on the number of requests turned in. “Explain that in fairness to other patrons, a large number of requests may not be processed immediately. Ask the patron to prioritize requests in batches of five or ten, to be processed over a period of time.

The concept of the Honors Project fascinated me, and I immediately began to think of ideas of what I wanted to do. One of the first things I thought of was building a lending library for Bowling Green State University’s campus. I tried to think of other ideas, but that one always resonated with me much more than anything else. Today, I have proudly completed the project, taking this mere idea I had four years and making it a reality.
