[Libs-Or] Congratulations to the Winners of the ACRL-Oregon School/Academic Librarian Collaboration Scholarship

[ACRLOR Communication]

We are pleased to announce the recipients of funding for the current cycle
of the ACRL-Oregon School/Academic Librarian Collaboration Scholarship
<https://acrloregon.org/acrl-oregon-scholarships/>: Sally Mielke of Eastern
Oregon University, and Sherry Loennig of North Powder Charter School. This
scholarship was created to foster collaboration between academic librarians
and school librarians.

Their project goals are to increase student access to online resources and
assistance in the North Powder Charter School library, and also to increase
students’ information literacy skills. Prior to Ms. Loennig’s recent hire,
North Powder had no dedicated librarian. Students have not been receiving
information literacy instruction, and there is no computer workstation for
searching library resources available to students in their library. The
North Powder School District superintendent has asked Ms. Loennig to meet
with North Powder teachers to address school library standards and
information literacy instruction.

Funding provided by this award will allow for the purchase of a computer
for students to access in their library, with a librarian present to
provide assistance and instruction in finding and evaluating information
resources. Ms. Mielke will provide a workshop on teaching information
literacy for Ms. Loennig and three of North Powder’s teachers in late
Spring or early Summer 2019. During the summer of 2019 Mss. Mielke and
Loennig will work with these three teachers to prepare research guides on
specific subject areas, to be ready in time for the opening of the 2019/20
school year. These teachers, with the assistance of Ms. Loennig, will then
be able to integrate information literacy instruction into their classes.
The research guides will be posted to the School Site Academic Page so that
students and families can find and access the resources easily when at home
or other locations.

Their project supports these Oregon School Library Standards:

LIB 1.1.C Develop, select, clarify, and use questions and strategies to
search for information

LIB 1.1.D Find, evaluate and select appropriate sources to answer questions

LIB 3.2.A Consider a variety of balanced and authoritative sources

LIB 4.1.A Find, evaluate and select appropriate digital resources to answer
questions

LIB 4.1.C Evaluate digital information sources for accuracy, validity,
importance and bias

Our congratulations to Sally Mielke and Sherry Loennig. We look forward to
your successful collaboration and to seeing the outcomes of this work!
