You can find the desk schedule for the Intersession Kiosk here.

If any corrections or changes are needed, please let Ben Walker know.

There were several reports of textbooks being stolen from students at MSL yesterday. We are asking staff to remind students not to leave their belongings unattended. Research Assistance student workers on the third floor will periodically roam looking for unattended belongings and leave the "I could have been a thief" notice to warn the student(s).

Suggestions?

Did you know that the state licenses Gale databases for free access by citizens of Florida? The next time you get a query from an alum or non UF person who wants to use our databases remotely, try showing them the Florida Electronic Library (FEL). The url is: http://www.flelibrary.org/

The FEL includes electronic magazines, newspapers, almanacs, encyclopedias, and books, providing information on topics such as current events, education, business, technology, and health issues. Academic OneFile, General OneFile, US History eCollection, LitFinder and the General Reference Center Gold are a few of the databases included. You can see a list of the databases at: http://www.flelibrary.org/resources/licensed.cfm.

What's the catch? Users need a local library card to access the Florida Electronic Library.

The InfoPoint schedule is moving this week. Watch for an email from Michael Dietz about the change and asking for your preferred email address. Let him know your preferred email, and he will send you an invite to join the wiki.

We are moving to PBWiki because it supports multiple levels of permissions, and is easier to edit and navigate. No ads either! --Jana

Due to popular demand, I'm sharing instructions for setting the email preferences on the LibraryWestStaff wiki. PBwiki seems to default to hourly updates of changes. With all of the shift trading on Ask A, the InfoPoint and the Reference Assistance Desk, this can result in quite a few emails during the day. Luckily you can reset your wiki preferences to no email, or only a daily email. Here is how:

1. Sign on to the LibraryWestStaff wiki in PBwiki.
2. Navigate to the My PBwiki page. (If you are not at this page, click on your email address at the top right to get to it.)
3. Look for the Preferences pulldown, in the middle of the page. Set your email preferences to "never," or whatever time interval suits you.

Research on chronically low-performing schools suggests that monitoring the implementation and progress of these schools’ improvement efforts can help them use limited resources more effectively.

REL Mid-Atlantic explored whether kindergarten entry assessments can provide states and districts with a useful measure of progress toward proficient reading for cohorts of children.

In this episode of On the Evidence, Shane Kanady of SourceAmerica and Noelle Denny-Brown of Mathematica discuss findings from an evaluation of the Pathways to Careers program, which provides customized employment services to job seekers with significant disabilities.

Attending a KIPP school led to a 10-13 percentage point improvement in the likelihood of enrolling in college.

To better understand its schools’ contributions to students’ learning in the first four grades, the Maryland State Department of Education partnered with the Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic to explore constructing a school-level growth measure for kindergarten to grade 3.

In this episode of On the Evidence, we interview attendees of the Second Annual Sadie T.M. Alexander Conference about the status of Black women in economics and what progress has been made to diversify the field since last year.

In the United States, a range of social issues can negatively impact parenting, which in the worst of circumstances results in children entering the child welfare system.

Behind the scenes, technology has been playing an important role in developing models that are informing how public health officials track COVID-19 cases, respond to potential hot spots, and prepare policymakers for the next stages in our collective response.

Our team wanted to empower people to make sense of the vast amount of information and to make more informed decisions. 19 and Me helps quantify people’s risk of contracting COVID-19 and visualize how behaviors, such as practicing social distancing, handwashing, and wearing personal protective equipment, can change people’s risk level.

Blue Door has been getting all technical with the digital launch of Meg Gardiner's fantastic new thriller, The Liar's Lullaby. The author widget allows readers to connect with Meg through video content whilst at the same time previewing sections of the text before buying. The Liar’s Lullaby widget comprises video clips of Meg introducing some of her favourite passages from the book which can also be read on-screen and recommended to friends. A new video and passage will be released every day for five days with the all content available from the end of June.

The Liar’s Lullaby is the second Jo Beckett novel published by Blue Door and features Tasia McFarland, a washed-up pop star desperate to reach the top of the charts. When a concert stunt goes badly wrong and Tasia falls to her death above thousands of adoring fans, Jo Beckett is called in to determine whether her death was accidental, suicide or murder. The plot thickens when it is discovered that Tasia was the ex-wife of the President of the United States and was the victim of an online hate campaign. A recording of Tasia’s song, “The Liar’s Lullaby,” will also be available on the widget. Already tipped by Stephen King as “the next suspense superstar,” we are predicting a bright future for Meg and the Jo Beckett series.

The Liar’s Lullaby is out now in trade paperback.
