Extractions: Note: I will ask members of the RILINK Advisory Board to serve on the Monitoring/Evaluation Committee since they have participated in the planning and implementation of the project throughout the calendar year 1999. The Board has received regular reports from the Director since July, and has assisted in making many decisions. Its report will be made available April 26, 2000. Director's Evaluation. Objectives: Add up to eight additional school library electronic catalogs. However, only four school libraries were able to send their data to Follett by the fall. The remaining eight are merging their data in January 2000. Software purchased for the four schools were WebCollectionPlus, BookWhere 2000, and the 856Express on the school sites. The original plan was to put the 856 tags on the union catalog, not on the individual sites. Changes were made in the Follett proposal, resulting in a saving which allowed two additional schools to become RILINK members. There were no funds provided to merge and dedupe the twelve schools in 1999. Negotiations with Follett in November resulted in an agreement to host all 14 schools in 2000 for $18,000. This amount covers the hosting costs, merging and deduping the records, all renewals of software, and the 856Express tags on the union catalog. The vendor absorbed the hosting costs for the four schools added in the fall of 1999.

Teachers are provided with information to develop curriculum that incorporates media literacy while students have the opportunity to create their own messages, often working with local artists in film and video production, Web design, photography and other media art forms. Finished projects are made available through local broadcast, live presentations, media centers and resource libraries. Belmont Senior High School Partnering with West Contra Costa County School District in this three-year project are the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts and other arts organizations in the Richmond area. The project targets students in three schools including Harbor Way Day School, an alternative K-6 school for students who have been expelled for behavioral problems. These students are at-risk, predominantly minority students whom conventional academic approaches often fail to reach. All students involved in Work of the Mind will transform the nature of their relationship to the popular media from a passive and reactive engagement to one that is active, discerning and positive.
