OASL/WLMA Conference Announcement
            
          August 17, 2008
OSLIS Users,
OASL (Oregon Assn of School Libraries) and 
WLMA (Washington Library Media Assn) have put together a first rate conference 
for inservice weekend in October. Learn more about it at http://oemawlma2008.org/index.htm. You can register for the 
conference and for any of the extended session. 
Don't miss your chance to spend 3 hours Saturday morning (Oct. 11) with 
OSLIS 2.0 guru Patty Sorensen and an EBSCO national trainer. This session will 
prepare you to support your students and staffs as they navigate the ins and 
outs of the (almost) new OSLIS  interface and EBSCO's new 2.0 tools. Learn how 
to create and use your own space to store files (documents, graphics, articles) 
that are  available from computers at school, at home, at your public library, 
wherever you have access to the Internet for both OSLIS and EBSCO.
You will leave this session knowing about and being able to show users how 
to register and create their own My Stuff space. Studends and staff members who 
register on OSLIS 2.0 can not only access instructional support for completing a 
research project beginning with defining an assignment to reflecting on the 
completed project, but also store and share documents, files, pictures, receive 
RSS feeds and more.  The OSLIS 2 registration process will also allow school 
librarians and educators to communicate and collaborate with students about 
their project via OSLIS 2.
