1. NEW RL&LL DIRECTOR APPOINTED
The Department of Public Instruction announces the appointment of Martha Farley Berninger as the new Director of the Resources for Libraries and Lifelong Learning team (RL&LL) in the Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning. Among her responsibilities will be administering the programs of the Resources for Libraries & Lifelong Learning Team, including the development of new information services to libraries and the education community; acquisition of digital content; negotiating and monitoring statewide library contracts, and assisting with Division management and planning. She began her new role on July 3, 2011, replacing long-time RL&LL Director Sally Drew, who retired in December after nearly 34 years with DPI.
Martha joined the Department of Public Instruction in 2006 as the Reference and Interlibrary Loan Supervisor at the Reference and Loan Library (now RL&LL). Before coming to DPI, Martha was the associate director and librarian at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. She also worked in the private sector as a consultant with the NexisLexis Group, as a research analyst for the Signature Group, and as a corporate librarian for Montgomery Ward. She has also worked at LaGrange Park Public Library, Forest Park Public Library, and Stickney Forest-View Library in Illinois.
2. 2012 LSTA INFORMATION SESSIONS
The 2012 LSTA Information Sessions and handouts are posted on the LSTA web page. The audio portion of the sessions recorded well. However, the visual content recorded the link to the Information and Guidelines document but did not record the movement within the 2012 LSTA Information and Guidelines. To follow the audio and content together, it is best to print a copy of the agenda for the session of interest and have a copy of the 2012 LSTA Information & Guidelines available. The page numbering of appropriate content within the Guidelines is listed on the agenda. If you would like a printed copy of the 2012 Information and Guidelines for future reference, you may print a copy from the LSTA web page (http://pld.dpi.wi.gov/pld_lsta.html) or request a copy. Any further questions about grant application content, process or forms should be directed to Terrie Howe at (608)266-2413.
