Sign Language SLP Training Video
CSLP offers a sign language training video so that librarians who want to use some appropriate signs in their programs will have a way to learn them. Rhonda Puntney, Lakeshores, and I, again worked on the development of the 2011 video. Rhonda was the 2009 Chair of the Diversity Committee, of which I am also a member. The video will be made available on the CSLP web page to other states for free download. However, Rhonda has made one copy for each System in Wisconsin. See post "Signing CD Available!" for more information on getting a cd.
Foreign Language Training Video
Rhonda Puntney also worked with Anne Horjus, Baraboo, to produce a set of training videos for librarians who want to use the songs, games and words in other languages that appear in the manual. These segments are included on the DVD that came with the manuals. There is a technical problem with the French segment which is being resolved. The corrected version will be available on the CSLP. Rhonda will let us know when it's ready. Many thanks to Rhonda and Anne for this new training option.
SLP Web Page Has Been Updated
DLTCL's web page has been updated. It's a good place to go to get information about upcoming programs. There are numerous links to make it easier to find things you might need. And the SLP handouts have been updated with this year's artwork. Visit the web page at http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/slp.html.
Tapping Youth Participation to Strengthen Library Services On Line Course.
Utilizing teen input in a respectful and practical manner is a challenge at any library, yet it has countless rewards. Through this Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) e-course, participants will learn practical ways to work with teens to improve library services. Participants will learn the benefits of teen participation and engagement in the library, and will examine examples of youth participation in collection development, programming and planning of physical/virtual spaces. In addition, participants will learn methods of incorporating youth participation into the administrative levels in public libraries and school libraries and into the community. The instructor will be Amy Alessio, the Teen Coordinator at the Schaumburg Township District Library, and has worked with teens for the past 12 years. The cost is $135 YALSA members For more information go to www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=oloc&Template=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfm&ConferenceTypeCode=L
