October 2017
School Year Opening!
If you have sent me an email with any requests, and I haven't gotten back to you, I apologize! Feel free to send me a reminder email, though I will be going back through and trying to catch things that have slipped through the cracks.
Hope to see you November 30 at our Regional SLS PD day with Shannon Miller! - J’aimé

School Librarian Teacher-Leader Cohort
This is a great opportunity to explore how you can become or continue to be a teacher-leader in your school building and district! Contact J’aimé for the application form, or to nominate someone so I can forward the application form to them.
For more information, see the file (below).
Applications must be completed, signed by the building administrator, and submitted by November 21, 2017.
Cool Tools for Schools is Back!
REMINDERS
Need Information from You!
Below are links in Google for you to add information.
NYLA Memberships - If you want to be a member this year, please complete the form. Council and Communications Coordinators memberships are covered by SLS, but we need you to complete the information. Individuals need to send a check payable to NYLA for $30 to SLS. Deadline is Friday October 20.
Battle of the Books Registration - If your school is participating, please either complete the registration information, or forward to the coach(es) so they can complete it. We prefer to have one per building that includes all information (but can work with it if submitted individually).
Interlibrary Loan - Statistics
The Google form is ONLY for Interlibrary loans that are NOT done electronically through OPALS. We will collect all of those statistics. These are for ILLs outside of that - either a direct email not going through OPALS, or one you've requested through us or CDLC, directly to a public library, etc.
If you need a "refresher" on the OPALS ILL process, see the series of screencasts on our LibGuides. If you are new and need a username/password, and would like more information (or if you need a refresher), please contact Karin Howansky who can arrange online or in-person training.
