AASL Committee Appointments?

I am busy making committee appointments and would love to involve AASL/Ning members! Of course, anyone who is not an AASL member yet is welcome to join and get involved right away in working for our students and our profession.

There are a few that are filled (NSLMPY, Advocacy Special Committee, Interdivisional Committee on Information Literacy, 2008 Annual) but lots are not and that's what I

am doing this weekend--and the next few weeks. The awards and award subcommittees are… Continue

At 11:21pm on April 21, 2007, Di Laycock said…: Hi Sara, it's great to "meet" you. I wanted to ask you a couple of things, so have sent you an email (which now has to be considered the new snail mail when you've got things like this happening).

At 5:15pm on May 10, 2007, Mary Schwander said…: Thanks for inviting me, Sara!

At 5:15pm on May 10, 2007, Susan Geiger said…: Sara, Happy to be your friend!

At 5:20pm on May 10, 2007, Tracy Richards said…: Hi Sara, glad to join you. My school will be going K-8 in two years (from 7-9). How do you order for 6s in with the secondary students? Do you have fiction they are discouraged from taking out (ie. young adult)?

At 5:23pm on May 10, 2007, Julia Beck said…: Hi Sara,
I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions in this space.

At 5:45pm on May 10, 2007, MaryAnn Karre said…: Hi, Sara! and thank you for the invitation to this lively and interesting group of friends. I am looking forward to sharing discussions, ideas and photos.....But not any photos in particular, of course!

At 6:00pm on May 10, 2007, Mary J. Johnson said…: Thank you for inviting me to join your list of friends. I don't know how you can add this Ning to your "duties," but maybe we can all help keep you sane during your year at the helm of AASL. Wouldn't it be fun for your Ning friends to meet and match faces to messages at the AASL conference?

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012

In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.

The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu
