School Faculty Hold Fall Retreat

Recruiting Receives Major Attention

during Review of School's Direction

In a story in the fall 1997 issue of the NEWSLETTER, in which we reported

the appointment of Professor Timothy Sineath to be the School's Director,

Dr Sineath made it known that the planning that had been initiated in

conjunction with accreditation review would continue and would connect

with the University's plan. In that regard, Tim told the NEWSLETTER theSchool's faculty would have a retreat during the fall, "to further develop its

vision for the School and the appropriate strategies."

The retreat took place Friday October 3, and Professor Barbara Moran,

Dean of the School of Information and Library Science at the University of

North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was the facilitator. In his comments last fall to

the NEWSLETTER, Tim had identified faculty recruiting for two positions asone of the major issues to be dealt with this year. Recruiting received

considerable attention at the retreat, and important decisions were made.

Early in the discussion at the retreat it was asked whether the School should

continue to offer only a generalist curriculum in such traditional venues as

academic, public, and school librarianship, or should strive to develop

distinctive competencies. Sentiment favored the latter, and discussion of

various specializations produced the decision to pursue distinctive

competencies in health sciences information and information technology.

The School now seeks to implement that decision through recruiting for two

positions. As of the end of February, candidates for both positions have

visited Lexington, and it is expected that offers will be made soon, for thetwo new faculty members to begin next fall semester.

Major Revisions for Certification

Education Reform Leads to Substantial

Changes in Preparing School Librarians

In January of this year the School initiated new curriculum programs of study

and admission requirements for students seeking school library media

certification. Changes in the program responded to the educational reform

movements that have been spearheaded by the Kentucky Department of

Education. The KDE called for Kentucky institutions of higher learning toreevaluate their programs of study in order to ensure high quality preparation

of students seeking professional careers in the public schools. One change

made by the School was to reassign a regular faculty opening to a special-

title position, making it possible for the faculty member, whose primary

interest is school media, to spend more time teaching, advising, supervising

school practical and administering the school library media program, and less

time on research.

Dr Kay Bishop, who had several years of professional experience as a

school library media specialist, in addition to college teaching experience,

was hired last August for this position. Kay has been working with other

School faculty, UK College of Education faculty, and KDE personnel to plan

and administer the School's new program. At the fall retreat it was agreedthat all faculty members would participate in the assessment of the school

library media students and program. Evaluation of the program during the fallsemester resulted in changes in individual courses and in the program

requirements.

These changes will ensure that all school library media students who graduatefrom the School's program will be prepared for the On-DemandPerformance Tasks, the Praxis Library Specialty Exam, and the preparation

of a professional student portfolio, all of which are requirements establishedby the Kentucky Department of Education.

The faculty decided that all students seeking certification in school media

librarianship should enter and complete the master's degree program. Thus,they will earn the MSLS degree, which will make them eligible for

certification for School Media Librarianship P-12 (Preschool-12th Grade)and will provide them with credentials to work in other types of libraries. The

master's degree is the minimum professional degree recommended by theAmerican Library Association, as well as by the national standards for

school librarians.

SLIS students who are already certified school librarians will also have newcurriculum programs of study. The primary change will be the requirement of

a minimum of nine hours of technology courses. All school library studentswill continue to be able to gain their advancements to Rank II and Rank I intheir programs of study. "We are confident that these changes in our program

will have a positive effect on our ability to prepare students who can providethe proactive leadership needed to establish effective, high quality school

library media programs in Kentucky public schools,"

Professor Bishop told the NEWSLETTER. "I invite anyone with questions

about the program to contact me by phone(859-257-4439) or [email protected]."

World Wide Web in the classroom. The paper describes the creation andmaintenance of an electronic journal called "WordGarden," which showcases

the creativity of Kentucky's students by publishing, via the Web, original

short stories , poems, art, essays, book reviews, and music. At the Februaryconference, Dr. Peach also chaired a session on Internet Resources for

Little Memorial Library Opens

In September of last year, Little Memorial Library opened at MidwayCollege, which is in the lovely small community of Midway located between

Lexington and Frankfort. CATHY HOGE REILENDER ('78) is Director.

The library was made possible by a gift from Lexington philanthropist Lucille

Little in memory of her late husband, W. Paul Little, and on a surprisinglynice January afternoon we joined Cathy for a delightful tour. The library also

houses the Midway College archives as well as the Robert T

McCowan/Ashland, Inc. Computing Center, which contains a number ofworkstations that are available for student use. Included in the computing

center is a room equipped with workstations to be used for library research

Little Memorial Library's collection includes more than 40,000 books andjournals, as well as more than 400 current periodical subscriptions. Access

to the collection is available through VOYAGER, the library's electronic

catalog. "Even with all the enhanced computer technology, new furnishings

and spacious offices," Cathy told us during the very enjoyable tour of thelovely facility, "it's the excitement of the faculty and the students when they

come in the library that makes you feel really good about it. It's user friendly

and a pleasant place to work and study."

Alumni Association Financial Report...

At the end of January 1998, the balance in the Alumni Association bank

account was $2,837.41. During calendar 1997, 88 graduates paid

Association membership dues, in a total amount of $318. Although theannual membership dues is $3.00, some alumni sent larger amounts, in some

cases with the notation dues were being paid for more than one year. Last

fall's NEWSLETTER was mailed to 2,456 graduates. The cost to print that

issue was $685 and to mail it $140, for a total of $825 for that issue. Thereare two issues per year. The balance in the Association account reflects

several things. It reflects, first of all, faithful dues-paying each year by a small

number of graduates; it reflects, also, successful fundraising for several yearson the part of Judith Gibbons, when she was an Association officer; and it

reflects, finally, the fact that in recent years the Association has not spent

money. For each of two years in the early 1990s, while Judith was an officer,

the Association gave a $1,000 scholarship to a student in the program. (The

award was competitive, and each year the recipient was selected on the

basis of an essay.) The days of not spending money from the Association'saccount may be ending. As the School's budget tightens, the time may come,

and soon, when the Association will have to contribute to the cost of

producing and mailing the NEWSLETTER. All of this leads up to the request

that you pay the very modest Alumni Association annual membership fee,

which is $3.00.


... and Your Thoughts about the Association

In recent years, the Alumni Association has been less active than once was

the case, and some of us believe that's unfortunate. We'd like to know whatothers think. Should efforts be made to revive it? If so, should we strive for a

truly national organization, or should we concentrate our efforts on making it

a strong regional entity? Should there be an opportunity, at least once a year,

a strong regional entity? Should there be an opportunity, at least once a year,

for the School's alumni to get together? If so, should it be in conjunction with

the ALA annual conference, with the Southeastern Library Association

conference, or with the Kentucky Library Association conference? Or,

would the awards banquet be the best time for alumni to come together eachyear? We'd like to hear from you on this, to include comments on issues that

we don't raise, above. You can send comments by regular mail to

NEWSLETTER Editor at the address which appears at the top of the form

for paying dues and reporting news, or you can send them electronically to

the Editor at [email protected]. We appreciate and value any

comments or suggestions you have.


Letter from Arkansas...

We received a nice letter from MARY JO HIGGINS THOMAS ('85),which follows: I am currently Librarian/Director at the University of Arkansas

Community College at Hope in Hope, AR. Have been here since 1992, and

boy what changes have been made here! When I came, the college was in its

first year as a technical college (after having been a vo-tech for 16 years).

The challenge was daunting when I came -- create a library for a growing

two year college from nothing, literally. We have gone from nothing to a

1500 square foot facility, with approximately 4000 volumes (and growing ona daily basis), the only Internet access on campus, automated catalog and

circulation. I supervise a staff of 4 FTE, and, thus, wear many hats in order

to get the daily business done. As the only professional here, I conduct all of

the instructional activities, do the administrative "stuff' and plan, always plan,

for the future. Small colleges are wonderful opportunities for growth and

learning. When I came here I was the only person on campus who had

actually worked on a college campus before, so I got challenges laid before

me at every step: writing our first self study for North Central accreditation(which we achieved, by the way, in 5 years!), organizing the first ever

collegiate graduation with faculty in regalia, speaking to community groups

about the status of the college, and generally being a pain to the

administration about "this is how things are done in a college." Anyone there

who remembers me, will remember that I can speak out! Anyone who

remembers me will also remember that I had a baby during my last semester

in school. That baby is now 12 year-old Sarah, almost 6 feet tall, playing aheck of a basketball game at the Junior High level, and is, if anything, more

outspoken than her mother. I want to let everyone know that I still benefit

from the wonderful experience that I had at the college, and often wish for

the opportunity to talk to faculty who were there in the 80's.

... and from South Dakota

I just received last summer's copy of the SLIS alumni newsletter, LIZ

SCOTT ('95) reported to us electronically. Since it was forwarded to me

after 2 moves, I thought I would send you a note to change my address and

to inform you of my new job. After 11 months working as Serials Cataloger

for the US newspaper project: Oregon, I left the University of Oregon to

follow a non-grant funded career path. As of October 1, I am theArchivist/Special Collections librarian at South Dakota State University. I am

the first professional ever to be responsible for this area, so I am trying

desperately to relate library school theory to reality -- every day. Actually, it

is quite fun, when it isn't terribly overwhelming. I am very happy to have left

the full time cataloging world to work as an archivist.


Martha Reed Perry Reports

We received the following report from MARTHA REED PERRY ('89), for

which we thank her: I couldn't help but notice that there was a limited amountof information about many of the people with whom I went to school and

remain in touch . As I would hate for anyone to think that we're all just totally

goofing off, I rattled some cages and made them tell me what they are (or at

least claim to be!) doing these days. Here's the gist of it (some were more

forthcoming than others!):

LAURA CECIL DAVISON ('90) and PATRICK DAVISON ('90) arecurrently residing in Hazard, KY. Laura is a Medical Librarian at the

Southeast Kentucky AHEC (Area Health Education Center) and has just

completed a term as president of the Kentucky Library Network. Patrick is

Reference Librarian at Hazard Community College.

WILLIAM DEBORD ('89) is Director of EKHSIN (Eastern Kentucky

Health Sciences Information Network), located on the Morehead State

University campus. He and EKHSIN are the recipients of two NationalLibrary of Medicine grants totaling approximately $200,000. Bill has taken

Laura's place as President of KLN for the coming year. He is also on the

board of Partners of the Americas, and has traveled to Ecuador 11 times

doing projects with University of San Francisco Quito, USIA, and US

Embassy Quito.

Which brings us to JORGE SOSA's ('90) comer of the world. Jorge is theDirector of the Library at University of San Francisco Quito. He has been

instrumental in setting up a library sciences program at the University, and is

rumored to be one of only three "professional librarians" (having the masters)

in all of Ecuador.

ELLIOT APPELBAUM ('90) is working at Lexington Public Library as

Periodicals/Electronic Resources Librarian.

KANDACE OWENS ROGERS ('89) is working as a Reference Librarian

at King (soon to be Young) Library. She has just returned to work after the

birth of Ian Samuel in September. MELISSA FORSYTH ('89) is working

as Assistant Librarian at Prestonsburg Community College. RAFE

JOHNSON ('90) is Assistant Director of the Library at JeffersonCommunity College Southwest campus, Louisville.

Our other Latino friend, RAPHY RIVERA ('89), is now living and working

in his native Puerto Rico. He would not divulge much information, other than

muttering something about how he "would rather keep a low profile!

Marginal! Condemned to oblivion -- with regards to my footsteps! ... please

mention that I bought a coffee plantation with piano bar in the highlands ofPuerto Rico...... We suspect he is doing something calm and sedate, like

living in the rain forests and working as a cataloger at some small college or

university, but we can't be too sure until we journey down to check it out and

that will be the basis of our next report!!

Me? I am now living in Louisville and working at Bellarmine College as

Instruction/Reference Librarian. I work with a wonderful Head Reference

Librarian, ROSALIND PARNES ('70), who graduated from UK with herMSLS. I am also working with a current UK SLIS student, Dustin Strong,

who is not exactly sure what year he will complete the master's program,

although I THINK he's shooting for '98! They both help make working here

fun!
