Youth & Teen Services Updates
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Resources Impact Libraries Computational Thinking (CT) is essential for youth to thrive in our technology-rich world. CT is the ability to use computational strategies, concepts, and devices to solve problems and create and design features, tools, and technologies. CT is being extensively taught and practiced in youth public library programs. The IMPACT Libraries project team at the University of Maryland designed assessment tools to assess CT learning outcomes that will assist library staff to reflect, improve, and showcase the impact of their programs. These assessment tools are suitable for assessing CT programs offered to youth between the ages of 11 to 18 years old. Through interviews with library staff across the United States, we identified seven CT learning outcomes that can be achieved through library CT programs: positive experiences, confidence, dispositions, skills, conceptual learning, access and equity, and future learning/career preparation. To learn more about the computational thinking outcomes you can assess, the assessment tools, and best practices and examples from library staff who used the tools, please visit our webinar page<https://impact.ischool.umd.edu/webinars-2/> to view the recordings. Below are the details of what was covered in each webinar: 1. Assessment tools to collect direct data from youth - Build-Your-Own Interview Protocol and the Talkback Boards. 2. Assessment tools to collect observational data - Design Challenge, the CT Conceptual Learning Rubric, and the Dispositions Checklist. 3. Assessment tools to collect data from youth and facilitators - CT Confidence Survey and the Facilitator Self-Assessment. In addition to the webinars, we invite you to browse our website<https://impact.ischool.umd.edu/>, where you will find additional resources such as case studies and our publications. If you have any questions, please contact us at impact(a)umd.edu<mailto:impact@umd.edu> - Dr. Mega Subramaniam, Dr. David Weintrop, and Nitzan Koren Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy CLEL is seeking presenters for the 2023 Virtual Conference<https://www.clel.org/professional-development/conference/>, scheduled for September 21 & 22, 11:00 am - 4:30 pm.

Banned book requests limit
by Jenn Donner 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

Hi all, I have heard in a few different webinars and presentations that having a limit to how many times a specific book can be requested to be removed from a collection. For example, if the whole process has been completed but the librarian and board said they would keep the book in the collection, then they wouldn't look at any other requests to have that title removed from the collection for 2 years. Does anyone have a policy I can look at that has such a limit? Thanks! Jenn Donner -- Jenn Donner, MLIS, M.Ed. District Director Iosco-Arenac District Library 989-362-2651
