The First Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning
Teleconference

On November 2, 1998, school library media specialists nationwide will
have access to a free teleconference that celebrates the publication of
our new national guidelines and the first information literacy standards
developed specifically for the K-12 learner.

It will be available for both C and Ku Band satellite receive systems on
Spacenet C-3, Transponder 5 (83degrees West and 3880 mhz). Test
signal will be at 12 noon Eastern and the teleconference will last from
12:30 Eastern to 3 p.m. Eastern. A toll free call in number will announced
during the teleconference.

The teleconference will be a live, interactive presentation with
opportunities for questions and answers. The content will include the
process leading to the new guidelines and standards, what they say,
what the implications are for school library media programs and school
library media specialists, and what the long term plans are for
implementing them into our schools and curricula. Those who cannot
attend the teleconference during the live broadcast may tape it and watch
it at their convenience and share with colleagues. As long as the tape is
used for promoting the new guidelines and standards, there are no
restrictions on its use.

An emphasis will be placed on the evolving role of the school library
media specialist and their role in being a catalyst for applying all media
and technology to facilitate learning. Books and reading, information
technologies and problem solving, high tech and high touch, are woven
throughout the revised Information Power. This will be a major theme of
the teleconference along with how the local school library media
specialist can use the document to make a difference in her or his school.
The teleconference will be hosted by Dan Barron, College of Library and
Information Science at the University of South Carolina and Debbie
Coleman Stone, AASL Board member and School Library Media Specialist
at Orchard Park Elementary School. Joining them will be Bill Heath, a
middle school principal, and a number of participants from through out the
nation calling in with comments and examples from their states.

The teleconference will be supported by a website created specifically
for this event that will include information presented during the
teleconference, visuals used in the teleconference, and links to other
sites that support the implementation of our new guidelines and
standards. (http://www.libsci.sc.edu/lisdec/ip.htm) The website will
remain active and provide support also for the teleshop that will be
developed for the Spring 1999.

The teleconference is produced by Distance Education and Instructional
Support, University of South Carolina in collaboration with the American
Association of School Librarians, Association for Educational
Communications and Technology, Library and Information Science
Distance Education Consortium, South Carolina Association of School
Librarians, and the College of Library and Information Science. It has been
made possible by a generous contribution from Bound to Stay Bound
Books (http://www.btsbbooks.com/btsb/index.html).
