Alabama Virtual Library Training Workshop Held in Draughon Library by Jeanne Whitehead Judith Lechner, Jim Gravois and workshop particpants. On December 10, 1999, Auburn University Libraries, the College of Education and the East Alabama Regional In-service Center cosponsored an Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) training workshop for media specialists, librarians, teachers and administrators from school systems in east Alabama. Held in the Libraries' second floor computer lab, it was the second workshop sponsored and conducted by these entities. For clarification for those unfamiliar with AVL, here is some background information. In their regular legislative session of 1999, Alabama legislators approved the appropriation of three million dollars for a virtual library for the State of Alabama. Funded under the budget of the Alabama Public Library Service (APLS), the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) began official operation on October 1, 1999, and is available in public schools/school media centers and public libraries with internet connectivity throughout the state. It is designed to bring to students and citizens of the state a wealth of information that has not been available in the majority of schools and libraries in the state The December 10th workshop, and its predecessor which was held in the computer lab of the College of Education's Learning Resource Center, were designed to give an overview of AVL databases to media specialists, librarians, teachers and administrators; to explore the particular features of the various databases for relevance to specific age groups; and to provide participants with a rudimentary understanding of how to search the various interfaces. Judith Lechner, Associate Professor in Educational Foundations, Leadership and Technology; Jim Gravois, Coodinator Library Instruction; and Jeanne Whitehead, Distance Education/Outreach Librarian conducted the workshop.

Adams, Policy Analyst On February 6, 2001, Governor Siegelman announced his plans to “expand early learning programs” in Alabama. He asked for public support in expanding eight sites, to forty-three. In light of proration, many thought the governor had abando ned his desire for pre-K in Alabama, but at a Birmingham Kiwanis Club Breakfast on April 17, Governor Siegelman unveiled his “Kidstuff” program, proving that pre-K was still alive in Alabama. Kidstuff is the name for the Governor’s pre-K effort. Developed through the Governor’s Early Learning Commission, it is comprised of twelve members of Alabama’s business community. Kidstuff is modeled after North Carolina’s pre-K program, “Smart Start,” implemented under former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt. Siegelman’s, April 17 press release states, “Kidstuff is designed to help all of Alabama’s children ages zero to five enter school healthy and ready to succeed.

Teachers Continue Exodus To Georgia Eight New Faculty Members At Local Schools This Year. The first day of school will be July 31 for teachers and Aug. 5 for students. There will be eight new faculty members, an unusually large turnover in the local school system, and many of them will replace teachers who have gone to Georgia to greatly improve their income. One former Piedmont faculty member said she was going to teach in a city in western Georgia. She will be able to draw the full retirement from Alabama, teach an easier schedule and receive a salary that is more than $10,000 greater. Many others have told similar stories, and this trend has been developing for several years in Piedmont and other east Alabama communities. Many say teachers would be foolish to turn down these opportunities for more money and easier schedules while drawing their full retirement pay from Alabama. There will be six new teachers at Piedmont High School. Former band director Don Wheeler has retired and does plan to continue a career in education. Coach Rocky Franz has accepted a head coach's job at another Alabama school, and Mr. and Mrs. Troy Dobbs are moving to Georgia near her mother's new residence. They both plan to teach, but Mrs. Dobbs will be teaching at Ft. Benning near Columbus, Ga. There are also four major reassignments. Mike Hayes the former head coach, is moving to the administrative office where he will oversee federal programs and assist with coaching. Paula Burch is being reassigned from math to the media center and Suzanne Haney is moving from the middle school to the elementary school media center. Another teacher will be transferring from the middle to the elementary school.
