*PAIL Meeting @ PSU Tuesday February 24^th , 6:30 -8:30 pm *

 
/"Laissez les Bons Informations rouler!"/ (Yes, it will be on Mardi Gras 
day.)

 Please join us at Portland State University for the next Portland Area 
Information Literacy (PAIL) group meeting.

 /When:/ February 24 from 6:30 -8:30 pm.

 /Where:/ PSU Millar Library room 160 (first floor)

 Everyone is welcome -- public, high school and academic librarians, 
library school students or anyone else interested in information 
literacy. RSVPs are appreciated (just to get a general head count -- 
schroedr at pdx.edu ) but feel free to just drop by if you'd like to.

 On the agenda will be:

 *Portland Public Schools "Initiative for 21^st Century Libraries in all 
our Schools"
- Susan Stone from Portland Public Schools*
 
In order to help Portland students meet or exceed academic standards 
this initiative is aiming to:

1. Increase capacity for information literacy instruction, technology 
skills and

improved library administrative services.

2) Capitalize on research which shows that school library programs raise 
student

achievement scores in core disciplines, and cultivates life-long reading 
habits

for students at all levels.
 

*"Info Lit Proficiencies for High School Students going to College -- a 
Draft"
- Anna Johnson, Coordinator Information Literacy Instruction, Mt. Hood 
Community College*

A group of high school and college librarians in the Portland area has 
developed a draft of what "Information Literacy" might look like for a 
graduating high school senior. These draft proficiencies are based on 
the work initially done over the past few years by the Oregon IL Summit, 
where 8 general proficiencies were developed for college juniors.

 *"Emotion, Values and Information Literacy Standards"
- Bob Schroeder, Coordinator of Information Literacy, Portland State 
University*

What does feeling have to do with research? Should we care? Should we 
have an Information Literacy Standard at ACRL that relates to the 
affective side of information and research? Pithy questions to be sure.
 

Hope to see you at this meeting! -- Bob Schroeder
