Survey announcement from our friend Kathy at Ky Dept of Education. Are you a media specialist in K12 in Kentucky? Please take a minute and put in your two cents for this AASL survey by 18 March.
2011 Library Media Survey
Hello Fellow Librarians!
The Kentucky Department of Education has officially partnered this year with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) for its annual national data collection project. Kentucky School Media Librarians are invited to participate in AASL’s “School Libraries Count!” survey (www.ala.org/aasl/slcsurvey). This survey is vital to AASL’s national advocacy efforts and our state’s advocacy efforts. School Media Librarians completing the survey will have access to a personalized report to use locally for their own advocacy efforts. Deadline: March 18, 2011. New questions in this year’s survey cover digital citizenship curriculum in school library programs.
A short survey with questions specific to Kentucky School Media Librarians is also available. The KY-specific survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete, and the data from it will be used with data from the national survey to create a snapshot of our state’s library media programs. Even if you choose not to complete the AASL survey, please take the time to answer the 11 brief questions at the link below. The survey link will be active through March 31. http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Instructional+Resources/Library+Media/Kentucky+School+Library+Media+Survey+2011.htm.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for participating in this important task!
