[LIBRARYDIR] Need feedback for SBCTC on state library support

[Kanne, Lynn]

We really appreciate and value the state library!

Statewide database licensing and AskWa are very valuable ongoing support. We also found the digital literacy grants, PILR (LSTA) project to be important to developing our IL program. We appreciate the indirect benefits of having our colleagues working on OER, although we have not actively participated in that project. We participated in Boopsie, and though we didn't continue, it was helpful to have the opportunity to try it.

We also have several faculty who give research assignments based on local primary sources, so the digital collections are also very much appreciated.

Importance: High

Hi everyone,

Mark Jenkins at the state board asked me for examples of support our CTC libraries have received from the state library.  I gave him these examples, but would appreciate hearing from all of you:


*        Librarians as Open Educational Leaders Grants 1 and 2

*        Information Literacy in Washington Community and Technical Colleges Grant

*        Pre-college Information Literacy Research (PILR) Grant

*        Professional Development individual grants

Here are some other grants that Skagit has gotten:

*        Hard Times Grant (partnership with local public libraries)

*        Virtual Reference Grant (partnership with Gray's Harbor CC)

*        Health Literacy Grant (partnership with local hospital library)


In addition, the state library has worked closely with us over the years by attending LLC meetings and inviting our input into their 5-year plans.

Please send me any examples you think should be included that demonstrate how the CTC libraries have benefitted from the State Library's support.  Please respond by Friday, April 14.

Thank you,
Mindy
