Proficiency tests. Academic Content Standards. Student achievement. Information literacy. Technology literacy. Welcome to the world of school library media centers for the 21st century!

INFOhio is in the forefront of Ohio's efforts to enhance student learning using high-quality library/media/technology programs that support today's curricula and enhance students' love of reading and learning. Our first state users group meeting for 2004 focused attention on INFOhio's work with other agencies and partners in this area. Keynote speaker Carla Southers, Ohio Department of Education coordinator for library media/technology, provided an update on the recently-released Ohio Academic Content Standards for Technology and an update on the School Library Guidelines.

The meeting was packed with other presentations, INFOhio news, and time for user discussion and feedback. For example, Ann Tepe and Gayle Geitgey provided an update on the Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries project, the Ross Todd / Carol Kuhlthau study coordinated by OELMA. An optional MORE K-12 Users Group meeting followed the 2 p.m. adjournment. Lunch was provided by INFOhio. There was no fee, but registration was required.
