Library Operating Expenditures: A Selected Annotated Bibliography | Professional Tools - 12 views

  •  
    Like academic libraries, school libraries rely primarily on their parent institution for financial support. The latest nation-wide expenditures figures for school library media centers in public schools comes from Characteristics of Public Elementary and Secondary School Library Media Centers in the United States: Results From the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey published in August 2013. The "Selected Findings" summary in the beginning of the Adobe Reader PDF version notes -- -- During the 2010-11 school year, public school library media centers spent an average of $9,340 for all information resources [Information resources include such items as books, periodicals, audio/visual materials, database licensing, and software. They do not include salaries, computer hardware, or audio/visual equipment.] (table 4). This includes an average of $6,010 for the purchase of books and $490 for the purchase of audio/video materials [Includes all copies of any tape, CD, DVD, or Blu-ray]. -- The number of holdings in public library media centers per 100 students was 2,188 for book titles and 81 for audio/video materials at the end of the 2010-11 school year (table 5).

Circulate This! Stories from the School Library - 0 views

  •  
    "We have created an audio magazine in which we tell the stories of the importance of school libraries and teacher librarians via interviews with teacher librarians, library staff, teachers, community members, parents, administrators, and most importantly, students. The format is along the lines of a 'This American Life' type of audio journal with a narrator, who sets the tone, describes the dilemma, and sets the stage for each interview. Each is short but dramatic and powerful. The intent is to distribute the audio journal widely on radio and across the Internet -- go 'viral' as create CDs to hand to legislators and decision-making administrators. Teacher librarians and others are able to download the journal and burn CDs to distribute to their local administrators and parents. stories from: Dr. Doug Achterman, Glen Warren, David Burt, Winny Duffy, Heather Keaton, APRIL Wayland, Manuel PEREZ, Dr. Leslie Farmer, Donald Gill, Jeanne NELSON, Anne Birchfield, Hannah Jackson, Kathy Green, and Sophie.

Dragontape - YOUR TASTE ON MIXTAPES - 12 views

  •  
    "We traditionally think of the classic mixtape as an audio compilation of power songs and remixes that we'll then share with friends or pass along to the cute girl two seats behind you in math class. Recently brought to my attention was Dragontape, a website that takes the concept of the mixtape further by combining YouTube and SoundCloud, effectively allowing you to create video & audio playlists of music, concert, and related promotional videos for your favorite artists, gigs, and tours. With Dragontape for the iPad you can watch the latest mixtapes, browse through what's popular, and revisit favorites all without the need of your web browser." from MacStories - http://www.macstories.net/reviews/dragontape-for-ipad-lets-you-browse-share-and-edit-video-mixtapes/
