Extractions: CHANSEN@weber.edu Internet technologies continue to transform the library profession and redefine how we communicate with professional colleagues and peers. IP (Internet Protocol) videoconferencing provides increased opportunities for librarians to engage in virtual teamwork and e-collaborations. The use of video conferencing by a consortium in Utah has revitalized committee work and continuing education within this large western U.S. state. Academic libraries in Utah are separated by hundreds of miles. With only thirteen higher education institutions in Utah, the Utah Academic Library Consortium (UALC) has been extremely effective in promoting valuable collaborations and cooperative resource sharing for decades. Many libraries have consistently benefited from important cooperative efforts. UALC librarians have worked together successfully in many areas including interlibrary loan, collection management, information literacy programming library services to distance learners and chat reference. The collaborative library work environment in Utah requires librarians from St. George (not far from Las Vegas) to serve on committees with librarians from Logan (near Idaho).

Extractions: Subject: Project SAVE, Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act: Instruction in Civility, Citizenship and Character Education The State Legislature and the Governor have enacted a new law which requires instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. The new law amends existing Education Law as follows: "§801-a. Instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. The regents shall ensure that the course of instruction in grades kindergarten through twelve includes a component on civility, citizenship and character education. Such component shall instruct students on the principles of honesty, tolerance, personal responsibility, respect for others, observance of laws and rules, courtesy, dignity and other traits which will enhance the quality of their experiences in, and contributions to, the community. The regents shall determine how to incorporate such component in existing curricula and the commissioner shall promulgate any regulations needed to carry out such determination of the regents." School districts are encouraged to establish a process for analyzing their existing efforts, kindergarten through twelfth grade, in providing instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. Through this process, districts can build upon established practices to strengthen curriculum and staff development in these areas. Attached are lists of materials to assist school districts in complying with the requirements for instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. These lists are offered as a resource to school districts in meeting the requirements of the SAVE legislation. Updated information can be found at

It's free! Save it. You'd have to live in a box not to know that schools and school administrators are under enormous pressure today. Recently, I read with concern and dismay as David A. Smith, principal of McMillan Elementary School in Murray, Utah laid out the issue for his colleagues on the K12ADMIN listserve. He poses the very real likelihood that becoming a principal may simply be too 'costly' for any sensible person to undertake in the future. ISEM spoke with Dave about what vendors could do to help. Below is an abridged copy of the original letter he posted to the Net, including some of Dave's insights about where principals could use a hand. It seems to my colleagues and me that a principal's duties grow every year - sometimes every clay. I also speak of the social concerns, the federal guidelines that add reports and increased requirements for accountability, the various plans that need to be generated in my state (professional development, school improvement, reading, and so on - I'm sure you have correlates in your state), new teacher (valuation systems that will require about a 100 percent increase in the amount of time necessary to observe and evaluate a teacher, the data analysis requirements that the state and federal legislation require and so on. I've been a principal for 16 years and the load is growing all the tune.
