Extractions: Summary: With support from LSTA grant funds awarded in the FY2001 grant cycle, RILINK has added four new members - Tiverton Middle School, Barrington Middle School, Gaudet Middle School (Middletown) and Cranston High School West. A new middle school in South Kingstown plans to become the fifth new member this year after it opens later in the year. RILINK purchased a total of ten copies of MARC Magician software, trained staff on the basic features of the program at a workshop session, and provided additional on site training and support at three member libraries. At least six member libraries used the program to correct MARC record filing and indicator errors in their records before submitting them for the next RILINK union catalog update scheduled for the fall of 2001. Member libraries borrowed more than 1,100 items for their students and teachers during the 2000-2001 school year, recording and submitting monthly statistics using an online form developed by RILINK. Users logged more than 1,700 sessions on the union catalog, and used its subject-based links to the web more than 900 times. Plans are underway to revamp the RILINK member web site, with the work to be completed in the fall of 2001.
PAMC: Rhode Island School Of Design Museum, Providence Eleven art museums, with grants from The Pew Charitable Trusts, offer dynamic communitybased programs for people of all ages. working in four community centers developed activities for a long-idle National recognition media coverage in the New York Times, http://www.artmusecomm.org/risd.htm
Extractions: Art ConText, developed in collaboration with the Providence Public Library, is developing and strengthening partnerships between the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and its communities, students, faculty, and the public. With the assistance of RISD students, artists-in-residence are creating new works of art in library branches in collaboration with community members and schoolchildren. The finished projects or associated works will then be on view in the museum. The potential benefits are many: for the museum, a larger and more diverse audience; for students and faculty, a new view of art practice that highlights collaboration in non-art contexts; and for the library, greater creativity and new patrons. Each year, three artists spend from two to three months in residence at one of nine library branches. Programming developed jointly with the library including family days, children's art classes, readings and discussion groups, lectures, and cable access programs invites community involvement. The artists are also teachers and mentors, working closely with RISD students on site and in the classroom. For students interested in community-based art, public art, and new contexts for the presentation of art, Art ConText is a valuable opportunity.

Extractions: DATE: April 16, 2001 Health Director Recognized for Work with School-Based Health Centers Rhode Island's Director of Health has received national recognition from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for her encouragement and support of school-based health centers. The Foundation lauded Patricia A. Nolan, MD, MPH, for her leadership in establishing school-based health centers in Rhode Island and in Colorado where she was previously Director of Health. The Foundation announced seven of the national awards; Dr. Nolan is the only state health director recognized. "This recognition honors the work of the whole Department of Health on this important issue. The Robert Woods Johnson Foundation Award four years ago gave us a wonderful opportunity to increase the number of our school-based health centers from three to seven. If I could wave a magic wand, I would start a planning process for a school-based health center in every high school, and require each community health center, organized ambulatory care facility and hospital to be a part of one or more planning groups," Dr. Nolan said.

Extractions: Date: August 2, 1999 Barbara Weaver, Chief Information Officer, State of Rhode Island Re: RILINK: A New Opportunity for Rhode Island Schools We would like to draw your attention to an appealing new opportunity for Rhode Island schools. RILINK can increase the books and other resources that are available to your students and teachers and provide access, by subject, to appropriate, authoritative sites on the Internet. Pilot funding for this new cooperative venture for Rhode Island schools was provided by the Office of Library and Information Services, using federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, through a grant to the Middletown and South Kingstown High Schools. RILINK provides an online union catalog of the participating schools. Students and teachers can access the union catalog through the World Wide Web, and find the items they need whether theyre at home or at school. They can then enter an email request for the item to be held for them at their own school library media center, or to be sent to their school from another RILINK member. The union catalog links back to the individual online school catalogs, so that the person searching the union can determine whether an item is currently available on the shelf. The union catalog also has Internet subject links, which are maintained by the system vendor, to selected, authoritative, appropriate sites on the Web. There are currently ten school library media centers in the process of joining RILINK and adding their collections to the union catalog. The Champlin Foundations have indicated that they will entertain proposals from individual schools for the initial equipment, software, and other expenses to join RILINK.

Extractions: Kathy Ruhmann lives in a part of southern Illinois where you can't find another certified library media specialist even if you hunt for one. Despite a state mandate, Ruhmann is the only certified school librarian in her district of Sparta, a rural town with five schools and about 1,800 students. She's convinced that an aide will replace her once she retires from the Sparta Lincoln Middle School. After all, that's what happened to two of her colleagues almost a decade ago. Now two aides without teaching degrees staff the town's primary and high schools. Ruhmann, who's been a school librarian for 16 years, received her library certification from Southern Illinois University, but the program's no longer being offered. The only on-campus option is to drive 70 miles to Washington University in St. Louis or four hours to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Illinois's librarian shortage is classified as 'severe' in

Extractions: by Tom Brazaitis; Plain Dealer Bureau Many school libraries have been left behind in the information rush at the start of the 21st century, their shelves stocked with tattered, outdated volumes, their collections cataloged on cards rather than computers, their operations in the hands of a gym teacher or volunteer rather than a trained librarian. As a result, practically every school librarian has heard an anecdote or can tell one from personal experience about finding a book on the shelves predicting, decades after the fact, that some day a man may walk on the moon. Or of a book on computer science describing a long-extinct computer "so big it fills a room the size of a basketball court." Or a book that talks about Premier Nikita Khrushchev as if he were still in charge of the Soviet Union - as if there still was a Soviet Union. Federal support for school libraries has plummeted since 1981, when money previously earmarked for books and other materials was lumped into a block grant that could be used for other school needs.
