  21. Region 5 ICoach – Carol Fill • School Improvement Supervisor, Ashtabula ESC • Literacy background, teacher-oriented • She filled out an application to be an ICoach, and was selected by INFOhio. • The ESC received $2,000 from INFOhio to pay for her 2-day training/food/hotel, etc. • Goal – train 50 people/teachers in 8 hours (after that goal is met, they can “charge” for her trainings if they’d like) … “After this week, I will have taught 40+ teachers with 4 hours”, Carol Fill

  22. Region 5 ICoach – Carol Fill “Last week, I completed a 2 hour session with 20 Ashtabula County entry year teachers and this Wednesday approximately 20+ more entry year teachers.” “My presentation was a little different than others in that I introduced INFOhio but I also requested that the teachers bring their textbooks, or standards book, or lessons that they were going to teach.  I wanted them to gather resources to use for their classes.  This seemed to excite them.”

  23. Region 5 ICoach – Workshops • Offering two workshops in Jefferson on Tuesday, December 7th  or Wednesday, January 19th  in Jefferson, Ohio.  • Should NEOMIN request a date for her to come and train librarians? Thoughts?

  37. Have you read? New Books List • The list includes all of the new TITLES for an instance (school district), not the new ITEMS for a particular building. This is why some do not like this option to be used, but most are fine with it once they understand why titles appear that their particular library does not have.

  38. Have you read? New Books List • Can the 'New Titles' list be set up to only have items from a particular library (ex: WCWGH)? • Well, it could, but then all other libraries would only see the new titles for WCWGH when using their CAT. If all other libraries are ONLY using CAT Jr., then this might make sense. But if you have patrons from other libraries using CAT, then showing new titles from just one library is not appropriate.

  39. Adjorn Happy Thanksgiving!!
