Atlanta, August 31, 2011--The Georgia Historical Society (GHS) and Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB Media) announced today that Today in Georgia History segments will begin airing on GPB television and radio stations across the state beginning September 1. The segments will then be archived and available on the web. Today in Georgia History is a collaborative educational project between GHS and GPB that focuses on historical events or a person associated with a particular day in Georgia history.
The announcement of the September 1 broadcast launch was held at GPB's Atlanta headquarters where GHS President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Todd Groce and GPB President and Executive Director Teya Ryan unveiled seven of the upcoming Today in Georgia History segments, including pieces that feature legendary former UGA Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Vince Dooley and the late recording artist Otis Redding. Coach Dooley and Otis Redding's daughter Karla were present at the announcement.
Today in Georgia History segments are hosted by Dr. Stan Deaton, Senior Historian at GHS.
There is also an interactive website for Today in Georgia History to serve as an educational resource for teachers and students. The site (www.todayingeorgiahistory.org) will maintain audio and video streaming of the segments, as well as transcripts. It will also include tips for teachers, curriculum, writing prompts, review questions and discussion topics, classroom exercises, follow-up research topics and selected primary-source material. Today in Georgia History's Web resource will reach students of all grade levels and cover all subject areas based on the content, and will align with Georgia's social studies curriculum and performance standards.
The segments will air on GPB TV Monday-Friday at 8:57 PM, Saturday at 12:57 PM and 6:57 PM, and Sunday at 6:57 PM and 8:57 PM
Editorial comment: I have seen 7 of the segments and am so very impressed with the quality, the content, the delivery, and everything about this wonderful project! ~ Judy

Carmen Deedy (above) is reading from her new book The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale at a recent preview party at Peachtree Publishers. Participants were also treated to a Skype session with Carmen's co-author Randall Wright and illustrator Barry Moser.
Media Specialist Susan Grigsby won a personal Carmen Deedy appearance and reading for her school!

Skilley, an alley cat with an embarrassing secret, longs to escape his street-cat life. Tried of dodging fishwives' brooms and carriage wheels, he hopes to trade London's damp alleyways for the warmth of Ye Old Cheshire Cheese Inn. He strikes a bargain with Pip, an erudite mouse: Skilley will protect the mice who live in the inn, and in turn, the mice will provide Skilley with the thing he desires most.

The library saved my life. If anyone in my family wondered where I was, they had only to drop by the reading room to find me. The librarian, Mrs. Anna Baker, was my first true friend someone who listened carefully, responded truthfully, and gave me every scrap of knowledge she could muster through the books she controlled. ~ Janis Ian

Funds 4 Books
submitted by the Mackin Educational Resources Company
Mackin has put together some information for any school that has a disaster. The company sets up a website for schools that have experienced losses. We at Mackin know how difficult it can be when a school has a catastrophe that impacts its library. Funds4Books is a great way for people in the community, as well as from all over the world, to be able to donate towards resources to help these schools get what they need.
100% of all donations go directly to the media centers. The media specialists will have complete discretion over what they purchase through Mackin with these funds: books, eBooks, online databases and more. Additionally, Mackin will ship their items free of charge, and the items will arrive catalogued and processed according to the media specialist's specifications. As an extra benefit, Mackin will match 10% of every $100 donated. Hopefully, there won't be need for this service, but this is good information to have just in case of future need.
The link below is the Fund4Books link. On this page, you will see information regarding the Funds4Books program as well as current programs with links for donations to those schools. All a Library Media Specialist needs to do is promote it in his/her community with the materials that we provide. We will promote it also!!! It's very easy for folks to donate online too, and Mackin sends out tax receipts to the donors. We do this to make Funds4Books easy for schools and donors.

I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them. ~ Michael Moore

So what do Library Media Specialists do after retirement? All kinds of things! Volunteer, travel, start another career....Ann Whitley (center) is in a group of musicians called The Rosin Sisters. They performed in Decatur on August 28, 2011.
Librarians are there: To help, aid, assist. To teach, collate, enthuse. To catalogue, index, arrange, organize. To find, discover, promote, display. To interest, intrigue, amuse, and amaze. To instill wonder. To help children, adults, old people, the underprivileged, the rich, the poor, those with voices, and those without. To protect resources, to archive them, to store them, to save them for the future. To provide differing viewpoints, to engender thought, conversation, research, fun. To provide the best answer possible, to match the answer to the enquirer, to provide just enough information without overwhelming the user, but enough to always help. To better a local community, a company, a school, a college, an organization, a country, the world. Google is there: To make money. http://philbradley.typepad.com/phil_bradleys_weblog/2011/06/what-librarians-google-are-for.html

Meet GALILEO
An introduction to Georgia's Virtual Library for new teachers and media specialists
A new school year brings new teachers, media specialists, and administrators to Georgia schools, all needing an introduction to GALILEO. Here are a few bite-sized facts to help new educators get to know GALILEO.
What is GALILEO?
GALILEO provides access to authoritative, subscription-only information unavailable through Google and other search engines
GALILEO includes articles from thousands of magazines, encyclopedias, books, and more GALILEO includes resources on the history and culture of Georgia through the Digital Library of
Georgia and the New Georgia Encyclopedia Other content includes images, primary source documents, scholarly journals, newspapers, and
research tools GALILEO is available 24/7 on campus with no password and remotely from anywhere with a password.
The password changes four times a year and is sent to media specialists in the school system
What can you do in GALILEO?
Students in all grades can find reliable, vetted articles to support research papers, projects, websites, and other assignments
Students in literary arts and English classes can find literary criticism Students and teachers can find information to support GPS and CCGPS Students, teachers, and parents can help students find articles and books to read within their Lexile
range Educators in all grades and disciplines can find professional development articles from respected
education journals
A quick walk-through
Go to the GALILEO website at http://www.galileo.usg.edu At the top of the page, click on the link to High School, Teen (Middle School), or Elementary Select a subject category (High School and Teen; Elementary users skip to next step). Most databases available through GALILEO appear in multiple categories. For example, you will see the Britannica encyclopedia appropriate for your grade level in most categories since it has information on all topics Select a database by clicking on any of the blue links. Each database has its own interface with features to help you use the content there Search for any topic you choose and explore the different features offered by the database Return to the GALILEO homepage and click on Help in the top right corner. Here you will find information on joining the GALILEO e-mail list, materials and canned presentations, training information on webinars and archived sessions, and other support
How does GALILEO compare to Google?
Every year media specialists ask, How do we encourage our students (teachers, administrators, others) to use GALILEO instead of Google? Feel free to copy the <a href=http://about.galileo.usg.edu/docs/ materials_docs/GALILEOvsGOOGLE_K12_rev.docx>GALILEO vs Google</a> handout to share with others at your school.
The GALILEO support staff are happy to help you with any problems or questions you have regarding technical issues, content, usage, or other topics. Click on the <a href=http://www.galileo.usg.edu/ contact>Contact Us</a> link in the top right corner of the home page.

Are you on Facebook? Why not become a Facebook friend of GALILEO. Or you can be a friend of the Georgia Department of Education. Many Georgia school library media centers have a Facebook page to keep students and parents informed of events and news from their school. Facebook blocked at your school? Perhaps you can find a work around to make it happen!
All Points Bulletin
Have you seen the Archaeology Trunk created and provided to us by the Department of Transportation? The trunk contains actual fossils, lesson plans, resources, and more. Its last known location was in the East Georgia area, but this trunk could be anywhere across our great state. It was being shared with our ETCs, and RESAs, and schools for short periods of time. But, with the close of some of our ETCs, the trunk has fallen off the radar. Please help us find this treasure.

Interesting Reading from SREB: Tuition Costs
Chart: College Tuition Will Not Stop Rising Dino Grandoni, The Atlantic Wire, Aug 16, 2011 Here's a chart that helps explain why the value of a college degree has been so hotly debated. Moody's, in a study (PDF) on student lending, has found that tuition costs have more than doubled since 2000.
College Costs Across States Daniel Borzelleca, The Center for College Affordability and Productivity (CCAP), April 13, 2011 After adjusting in-state, undergraduate tuition rates for inflation, the national average tuition costs increased from $2,695 in 1973 to $7,963 in 2010, an increase of 195%.
Relationship Between State Support and Tuition Levels at Public Institutions (pdf) University of Washington, April 12, 2010 This Planning and Budget Brief focuses on state funding trends that illustrate shift toward lower state support and higher tuition.
Debt to Degree: A New Way of Measuring College Success Kevin Carey and Erin Dillon, Education Sector, August 3, 2011 In Debt to Degree: A New Way of Measuring College Success, Education Sector has created a new, comprehensive measure, the "borrowing-to-credential ratio." For each college, authors Kevin Carey and Erin Dillon have taken newly available U.S. Department of Education data showing the total amount of money borrowed by undergraduates and divided that sum by the total number of degrees awarded. The results are revealing. Download the full report.
Individual commitment to a group effort--that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. ~ Vince Lombardi
