Extractions: ALA MW 2000 Major schools sales for M3 and Databases SIRS Mandarin has a unique combination of databases and library system in its portfolio - giving them an advantage when approaching a large schools system with ambitions beyond merely automating the library. Recent successes have been in Alabama Indiana and Ohio schools. Funded by the Alabama Legislature and managed by the Alabama Public Library Service (APLS), AVL provides online database access to public K-12 schools, public libraries, two-year colleges and member institutions of the Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (four-year colleges and universities). The Alabama Virtual Library and the Alabama Public Library Service are pleased that SIRS has become a partner in providing high quality electronic information to the students and citizens of Alabama, said Dr. Lamar Veatch, Director of APLS. SIRS represents a unique product that is very well suited to the needs of our students and teachers. We see SIRS as a critical element in the structure of the Alabama Virtual Library. SIRS reference databases contain thousands of full-text articles and graphics from almost 6,000 domestic and international newspapers, magazines, journals and U.S. government publications. Database topics include global issues, economics, the environment, business, science, health, history, society, U.S. government legislation, culture and the arts and humanities.

Extractions: Judith Lechner, Jim Gravois and workshop particpants. On December 10, 1999, Auburn University Libraries, the College of Education and the East Alabama Regional In-service Center cosponsored an Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) training workshop for media specialists, librarians, teachers and administrators from school systems in east Alabama. Held in the Libraries' second floor computer lab, it was the second workshop sponsored and conducted by these entities. For clarification for those unfamiliar with AVL, here is some background information. In their regular legislative session of 1999, Alabama legislators approved the appropriation of three million dollars for a virtual library for the State of Alabama. Funded under the budget of the Alabama Public Library Service (APLS), the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) began official operation on October 1, 1999, and is available in public schools/school media centers and public libraries with internet connectivity throughout the state. It is designed to bring to students and citizens of the state a wealth of information that has not been available in the majority of schools and libraries in the state The December 10th workshop, and its predecessor which was held in the computer lab of the College of Education's Learning Resource Center, were designed to give an overview of AVL databases to media specialists, librarians, teachers and administrators; to explore the particular features of the various databases for relevance to specific age groups; and to provide participants with a rudimentary understanding of how to search the various interfaces. Judith Lechner, Associate Professor in Educational Foundations, Leadership and Technology; Jim Gravois, Coodinator Library Instruction; and Jeanne Whitehead, Distance Education/Outreach Librarian conducted the workshop.

DryKor - Mountain Brook Junior High School, Alabama, USA IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY PREVENTS MOLD INCREASES COMFORT IN school LIBRARY/media CENTER Mountain Brook Junior High school, alabama, USA. Background http://www.drykor.com/junior.html
Extractions: Background Mountain Brook Junior High School is located in the city of Mountain Brook, Alabama. This city is one of the most prestigious suburban communities in the Birmingham, Alabama area. Located in the Southeastern part of the United States, the school is subject to high temperatures and humidity levels from the late spring through the middle fall months. For the school system, the situation is additionally challenging as the school is not open during the summer months, and consequently the building is not air conditioned during peak temperature and humidity periods. The Problem When school opened in the fall, the school media center librarian, Jennie Harrison, returned to find mold all over the school's library book collection, as well as evident on ceiling tiles book covering the return air intake. Black mold covered the spines of the books and crept onto the pages of many books. Replacing the collection was out of the question, so the school hired outside services to come in and clean each book by hand. Ms. Harrison also noted that when she would return to school each fall her sinuses would start draining, which she supposed might be due to allergens in the moldy atmosphere. In fact, she reported that there were several teachers who would not come into the media center as the environment there seemed to stimulate allergic reactions.

Sea Grant Media Center - Mississippi/Alabama - Future Scientists processes course for middleschool, minority teachers Reid, Communications Leader, Mississippi-alabama Sea Grant the Sea Grant National media Relations Office http://www.seagrantnews.org/news/mieducation.html
Extractions: Mississippi/Alabama Sea Grant 9-94 Marine Education Effort Trains Future Scientists The impact of science education on coastal and ocean science, policy, management and technology is often evaluated in terms of training and education at the college level. But pre-college students must be in the science education pipeline to maintain a steady and diverse cadre of graduate students in marine-related studies. Sea Grant meets that need well. A look at major meetings, such as the Marine Technology Society's annual conference, will show that Sea Grant educators are in the forefront of hands-on, discovery education in marine sciences for pre-college students and the adults who teach them. Model K-12 Programs Pilot studies in Mississippi supported by Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant established national models for programs that introduce students and teachers to the marine environment and ignite their enthusiasm for science. For example, "Project Marine Discovery" reaches 31,000 students each year with structured field trips and other hands-on marine science programs. The project started as a three-hour field trip program for four school groups at kindergarten through 12th grade levels; it now encompasses a variety of programs run by a corps of professional marine educators and docents for individuals from nursery school to the elderly. The Renew America Foundation selected "Project Marine Discovery" as the nation's top environmental education program in the marine and coastal protection category and gave the program its 1993 National Environmental Achievement Award.

AVL | Sample Parents' Letter, Arab City In a cooperative effort with alabama State Department of Education, all Arab request form and return it to your child s school library media center. http://www.avl.lib.al.us/faqs/arab_letter.html
Extractions: Dear Parents, Students in today's society can find all kinds of information on the Internet. While good information sites can be found, other sites lack the quality and accuracy useful to students. In an effort to provide quality content for all Alabama citizens, state and local officials have implemented the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL). Through the Internet, the AVL will access to a three million-dollar database free of charge. For the first time, every student in every school in Alabama will have an equitable core of information. This service is now available to your child at home, if you have Internet access. In a cooperative effort with Alabama State Department of Education, all Arab City School libraries will issue an AVL card to each student who request one. For your information a list of databases available through the AVL is attached. A request form for an AVL card is also included with this letter. To take advantage of this valuable resource, complete the request form and return it to your child's school library media center. Within a few days after receiving the completed form, each student will be issued an AVL card containing an individual user name and password. This user name and password will allow access to the AVL from any computer with Internet. With this service through the library media centers of Arab City Schools, we will expand the use of technology and provide access to the resources available in our schools beyond the school day. Thank you for your cooperation in this effort.
