 * Here are the stats for November. The stats under the OCLC include any titles that were sent through my office. This includes the other BOCES and Walsh/STC. **
 * A way to look at OCLC stats is that for every book you borrow that way instead of buying, you save your district approx. $25 a book. A lot of the titles I borrow for you cost a lot more than that. This month alone, OCLC was able to save our schools $1,850. This doesn't include the books you loan directly. It's another way to show your administrators how valuable you are. **

Each lesson highlights a Common Core standard, starting with math in grades 3-12."We started LearnZillion at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. because we wanted to solve a problem. We knew what lessons our students needed but we didn’t have enough time to teach each student the right lesson. To create more time, and to share best practices across classrooms, E.L. Haynes’ teachers began to capture their expertise on screencasts. We posted them on a homemade website and coupled them with a short quiz to help us track student progress."Soon the idea grew."What if teachers from across the country could contribute to the site? What if new teachers could learn the new Common Core standards from the wisdom of experienced teachers? What if students could get a playlist of lessons that matched their needs? What if, over time, the video lessons got stronger and stronger, as more teachers contributed and the data showed which lessons had the biggest impact? Thanks to funding from the Next Generation Learning Challenge, NewSchools Venture Fund, Achievement Network, and others, we are about to find out!" [] There are no ELA lessons for high school yet, but there are over 600 lessons for ELA for grades 3-8 and over 1,200 for math for grades 3-1

 * REVISED – Creating the Future Implementation Strategies – Results from 2012 NYLA Conference **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Library leaders came together at the 2012 New York Library Association’s annual conference to discuss the next steps for implementing New York’s statewide plan for library services, Creating the Future: A 2020 Vision and Plan for Library Services in New York State.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Over 120 library leaders attended the program Creating the Future: Implementing the 2020 Vision and Plan on Friday, November 9. After initial remarks from chair of the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries, John Hammond, and State Librarian, Bernard A. Margolis, attendees were divided into groups based on library type. Groups included Library Systems, State Library/Special Libraries, Public Libraries, Academic and Research Libraries, School Libraries, and Technology and the Information Marketplace. This format allowed attendees to discuss recommendations from Creating the Future that directly related to their area of expertise with other leaders in their field.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Each group was moderated by a member of the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries. Groups determined priority recommendations for each library type, and shared their implementation strategies with the other groups. The groups then came together to discuss the recommendations relating to all types of libraries, as well as additional implementation strategies. Many attendees volunteered to take the lead and join taskforces that will support the implementation of priority recommendations. This list of priority recommendations can be found here: []

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">This conference program was sponsored by the New York Library Association, the New York State Library and the Library Trustees Association of New York State. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Library leaders are encouraged to send information about upcoming planned events or discussions focused on the implementation of Creating the Future to Council Chair John Hammond (john@nnyln.org). Members of the Council are willing to speak at your events. In addition, event information will be posted on the Council’s webpage and shared broadly with the library community and other stakeholders. Library leaders are also encouraged to send resulting ideas and suggestions for implementation strategies or action steps to John Hammond. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">To read more about Creating the Future, visit: []
