"What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it feels
about education." - Harold Howe, US Education Commissioner 1965-1968
 
"Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that
of an ignorant nation." - Walter Cronkite.
 
"I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness
about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future
can all be tested by how well we support our libraries." - Carl Sagan,
Scientist (1934-1996)

Please excuse the cross posting, we want to get the word out to
everyone.

Great News!

  At our SIGMS business meeting during NECC 2007 we began planning for
an
award focused on School Library Media Specialists collaborating with
classroom teachers. This new award has become a reality through the
sponsorship of Follett Software Company, Linworth Publishing Inc and
ISTE.

	There are actually two awards, one for elementary and one for
secondary and each award is for a team of two, classroom teacher and
SLMS.
All school library media specialists are eligible. Submission process
opens officially on January 15, 2008. Deadline to submit is March 15,
2008.

>From the website;
  "The purpose of this award is to identify, promote, and sustain
excellence
in collaborative and innovative technology-based projects driven by the
school library media center in support of curricular and instructional
needs
in elementary and secondary schools."

Further information and forms are available on the ISTE website
www.iste.org/sigms-award

We will post similar information on the SIGMS wiki
