Subject: [aaslforum] SHARE: Gale and Library Media Connection Invite Nominations 
of Teacher and Media Specialist Collaborations for TEAMS Award

"The Gale/Library Media Connection TEAMS Award program is designed to recognize 
and encourage critical collaborations between teachers and media specialists to 
promote learning and increase student achievement. The awards are given every 
two years.

"All K-12 public and private schools in the United States and Canada are 
eligible to enter. Examples of the types of collaboration that will be 
considered include using large-print books to improve student reading scores, 
increasing literacy among struggling readers, improving information literacy, 
using nonfiction materials in classroom libraries to support reading, and 
integrating electronic and print reference resources into classroom learning.

"Nominations will be evaluated based on demonstrated collaboration between media 
specialists and teachers during the school year (either 2011-12 or 2012-13), 
effective techniques that positively impact student learning and achievement, 
support received from school leadership, and ability for others to replicate 
this best practice.

"The nomination may be submitted by a library media specialist(s), teacher(s), 
principal(s), student(s), or parent(s).

"Three winners will receive a $2,500 cash award, Gale products (with an 
approximate value of $500), a one-year subscription to Library Media Connection, 
and an Educator's Professional Bookshelf (approximate value $500) from Linworth 
Publishing."

The Internet may be the world's greatest library, but let's face it - all the 
books are scattered on the floor.  - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. 
- Mitchell Kapor

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief 
aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to 
discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from 
the fiction ... The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think 
intensively and to think critically. - Martin Luther King, Jr. The Purpose of 
Education
