<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">Education Week</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue"> just posted/published a great article about the role of school librarians in supporting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS):
<a href="http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/09/12/03librarians_ep.h32.html?tkn=VQWFYJGM2SogaWGs3%2B3jNYTI4FpPcsEj7qzG&intc=es" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">In <i>Common Core Thrusts Librarians Into Leadership Role</i>, readers learn that librarians are revamping their collections to better align with the information text and rigor expectations of
CCSS; working with teachers to find resources that support the standards and to rework selected activities to be research-driven; repackaging their research instruction to demonstrate how it
<i>is </i>inquiry, which CCSS demands; and leading inservices to train content area teachers on literacy skills. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">There’s an interesting angle about library budgets and common core, too: “</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">Ms. Hearne [a librarian in South Carolina] reports that … her book budget
has doubled this year. That came in the wake of her superintendent's request for a report on the percentage of fiction and nonfiction, and the age of the nonfiction materials, in the district's school libraries, she said.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:blue">For some starter ideas for upgrading your nonfiction (informational text) collection, check out the Resource Roundup column in the Fall 2012 issue of the
<i>Interchange</i>. Also note that the OSLIS/Gale Friday session at the OASL conference in Seaside will have a section about using the databases to find and filter informational text to support CCSS.</span></p>
