Marshall Community & Technical College & the University Libraries
I created this blog so we can discuss various and sundry issues pertaining to the Public Library Technician program at Marshall. Anyone affiliated w/ the program or WV libraries can post to the list. I also invite faculty and staff to discuss issues that may impact PLT students and/or the program in general. Our goal is to provide another outlet for you to communicate!

Hmmmm....guess folks are busy w/ other things...but in case you want to discuss an issue, check out ALA.org - they are applauding recent budget increases:
From ALA: "The President's Budget requests $262,240,000 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an increase of $15,096,000 or 6.1 percent over FY 2006. For the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), the budget includes $220,855,000, an increase of $10,258,000 over FY 2006. The LSTA number includes an increase in the Grants to States program, bringing funding for that program to $171,500,000. The ALA has actively supported an increase in Grants to States funding as this funding level will allow full implementation of a 2003 law to provide a more equitable distribution of state formula grants."

Good question Cherie - if it's anything like the IMLS grant programs, it will pit libraries against each other for uneven grant awards.
By the way, did the other Dean Brooks (Billie) contact you? If not, let me know - just email me at my Marshall address.

Wow Patsy - that’s' so cool. As an educator, we dream about the potential to put theory into practice! Working with you on this was a joy in addition to reinforcing some of the things we try to convey in the PLT program. I am so glad it turned out to be a practical and meaningful experience for you and of course, us! Your input helped Reference staff look at serving non-traditional students in a whole new light! And that is really cool!
