INFOhio to automate schools with LSTA funds |
| The State
Library of Ohio has announced that the next round of LSTA grants for automating Ohio
school library media centers will be submitted by INFOhio. No individual school or
district applications will be accepted. Eligible schools must meet the following
requirements to be considered: |
|
Non-automated high schools and vocational schools will be given priority. |
|
Automation required to complete district-wide INFOhio automation is
encouraged. |
|
Underautomated buildings/districts (i.e., those with standalone systems)
will be added to INFOhio's automation program to foster statewide resource sharing. |
|
Participating districts must have a minimum of one certified/licensed
library media specialist. |
|
The number of hours a library media center is open and staffed during the
school day is crucial and will be weighted accordingly. |
|
Participating districts must commit to sustain the automation program for
a minimum of three years with equipment maintenance and upgrades, staffing and training. |
|
Schools interested in participating need to contact their local ITC as soon as possible. The deadline to
submit project checklists and a letter of intent to participate is December 18,
2006. Read
more about the LSTA automation grant requirements and obtain helpful
information at the SLO Web site.
