Librarians are the first line of access for patrons living in poverty seeking employment resources, securing government benefits, and improving their education. Now, librarians are faced with questions about the new High School Equivalency Programs, different types of testing options, and helping patrons avoid predatory diploma programs. These changes are difficult to navigate as libraries research best-practices and effective resources that assist adults overcome gaps in education. <br /><br />After participating in this presentation, libraries will learn:<br />• To position and promote already existing resources for adult learners studying for High School Equivalency Exams. <br />• To identify and help patrons avoid predatory diploma sites and work with the accredited High School Equivalency Exam programs, GED Testing Service, HiSET, and TASC. <br />• About the recent changes at the national level for High School Equivalency programs that impact how libraries work with adult learners <br />• A brief presentation of i-Pathways will occur at the end of the session. i-Pathways is a High School Equivalency Test Preparation program that libraries can use to support adult learning in their community.<br /><br />This program will be presented by Kathy Olesen-Tracey, i-Pathways Curriculum Director. i-Pathways is an online High School Equivalency Test preparation program that libraries can use to support adult learning in their community. <br /><br />RAILS is considering the I-Pathways resource for a future group purchase. 2017-02-10T04:00:00-06:002017-01-04T09:33:21-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24668PrairieCat Sierra Cataloging Item Entry Class (PCAT)Friday, February 10 <br />10:00 AM - 1:00 PM<br />RAILS Bolingbrook Meeting/Videoconference Room<br />Who should attend: Fully Participating, Basic Online & Union List library staff<br /><br />This class is designed to provide staff of PrairieCat libraries with a basic understanding of the capabilities of the Cataloging module.

Career Online High School (COHS) is a service that libraries can offer which will make a difference in people’s lives and the well-being of the community. It’s available at more than 100 libraries across the country, including Fountaindale Public Library and 10 RAILS libraries.<br /><br />Career Online High School is made available to public libraries through Gale, a Cengage Company and its product partner, Smart Horizons Career Online Education. Libraries can readily adopt this program because of the extensive training, implementation and student recruitment support provided by Gale.<br /><br />What is Career Online High School and why is it needed in Illinois?<br /><br />In the state, 11% or 1,451,717 adults over the age of 25 years are without a high school diploma. Career Online High School is an educational program which gives students the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and career certificate simultaneously. The goal is to bring adult learners who lack a high school diploma back into the educational system and prepare them for jobs in growing sectors of the economy. Students graduate with the tools needed to take the next step in their careers or education.<br /><br />Attend one of the RAILS webinars to learn about significant savings available to Illinois libraries. By participating with libraries throughout the state, you can take advantage of unprecedented, limited-time only pricing. <br /><br />February 16 only--Hear from Fountaindale Public Library District regarding why they chose COHS, and what it has meant in terms of library exposure, community partnerships, and demonstrating outcomes. 2017-02-16T08:00:00-06:002017-02-02T06:04:03-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24670IHLS Executive Committee Meeting - CANCELLED (IHLS)CANCELLED<br />Thursday, February 16 <br />3:30 PM - 4:30 PM<br />N/A<br />Executive Committee Board Meeting2017-02-16T09:30:00-06:002017-01-30T03:29:53-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24495Website Redesign Summit (LACONI TS): THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT (LACONI)Friday, February 17 <br />9:00 AM - 12:00 PM<br />95th Street Library (Naperville)<br />In this lively panel discussion, Karen McBride (Barrington Area Library), Ann Stovall (Indian Prairie Public Library), Nina Kenney (Lake Villa District Library), and Michael Cianfrani (Winnetka Public Library) will share best practices from redesigning their own libraries' websites, including how and where to start, how to justify and prove value to staff and the public, and how to build a sustainable workflow.

Career Online High School (COHS) is a service that libraries can offer which will make a difference in people’s lives and the well-being of the community. It’s available at more than 100 libraries across the country, including Fountaindale Public Library and 10 RAILS libraries.<br /><br />Career Online High School is made available to public libraries through Gale, a Cengage Company and its product partner, Smart Horizons Career Online Education. Libraries can readily adopt this program because of the extensive training, implementation and student recruitment support provided by Gale.<br /><br />What is Career Online High School and why is it needed in Illinois?<br /><br />In the state, 11% or 1,451,717 adults over the age of 25 years are without a high school diploma. Career Online High School is an educational program which gives students the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and career certificate simultaneously. The goal is to bring adult learners who lack a high school diploma back into the educational system and prepare them for jobs in growing sectors of the economy. Students graduate with the tools needed to take the next step in their careers or education.<br /><br />Attend one of the RAILS webinars to learn about significant savings available to Illinois libraries. By participating with libraries throughout the state, you can take advantage of unprecedented, limited-time only pricing. 2017-02-21T04:00:00-06:002017-02-02T06:08:32-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24781MAGIC Circulation Services Work Group Meeting (RAILS)Tuesday, February 21 <br />1:30 PM - 4:30 PM<br />Messenger Public Library of North Aurora<br />2017-02-21T07:30:00-06:002017-02-13T05:56:43-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24798IHLS Finance Committee Meeting (IHLS)Tuesday, February 21 <br />3:30 PM - 4:30 PM<br />N/A<br />IHLS Finance Committee Meeting2017-02-21T09:30:00-06:002017-02-15T05:34:54-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24601Library of Congress Subject Headings (IHLS)Wednesday, February 22 <br />9:00 AM - 12:00 PM<br />IHLS - Edwardsville - Sacagawea Videoconferencing Room<br />This class provides an introduction to Library of Congress subject headings and the process of assigning subject headings to bibliographic works.

Come anytime between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Please allow a couple of hours to complete the test. <b>This test is only for library staff associated with PrairieCat libraries who have previously taken the Sierra Essentials <u>and</u> Sierra Cataloging: Item Entry classes.</b><br /><br />The Statewide Cataloging Standards Committee (SCSC) was formed in 2000 and was charged with the responsibility of creating a cataloging standards <a href="http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/libraries/cataloging_standards.html">http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/libraries/cataloging_standards.html</a> document that would form the basis of improving the quality of cataloging in the consortial catalogs in Illinois. In support of these standards the SCSC has created the first level of testing, a barcoder certification test, which will help to identify the training needs of barcoders. <br /><br />To help prepare PrairieCat barcoders and catalogers for the Barcode Certification Test, a sample test is available at <a href="http://support.prairiecat.info/services/barcode-testing">http://support.prairiecat.info/services/barcode-testing</a><br /><br />The Barcoder Certification Test has two parts, both of which must be passed at the same sitting of the Test. The first part is made up of matching, multiple choice and short answer questions on general terminology, basic MARC and searching. Passing the first part requires getting 14 of the 28 possible points. The second part is made of eight hands-on exercises <u>USING SIERRA</u> where the test taker is asked to follow PrairieCat cataloging policies and procedures in searching, matching and attaching a call number and copy/item record to the proper record, if applicable and reporting any problems with bibliographic records, or referring items to a copy or original cataloger. This portion of the Evaluation requires getting 50 of the 72 possible points. The Barcode Certification Test will be given regularly (monthly) at the RAILS Coal Valley, Rockford and Bolingbrook Service Centers. Check the PrairieCat L2 calendar for the next scheduled Barcode Testing day at <a href="http://www.librarylearning.info">http://www.librarylearning.info</a>.<br /><br />Upon successful completion of the Test, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion for the Barcode Level Test. A probationary (good for 6-months) login is issued upon attendance at a PrairieCat Sierra Cataloging 1 class.<br /><br />Additional resources to use in preparing: <br /><b><u>Cataloging Acronyms & Terminology</b></u><br /><br />• Review Sheet <a href="http://support.prairiecat.info/system/files/Public/Barcode-Level%20Cataloging%20Certification/BarcodeTestAcronyms.pdf">http://support.prairiecat.info/system/files/Public/Barcode-Level%20Cataloging%20Certification/BarcodeTestAcronyms.pdf</a> (pdf)<br />• WebJunction IL Course <a href="http://learn.webjunction.org/course/search.php?search=introduction+to+cataloging">http://learn.webjunction.org</a> <br />Introduction to Cataloging for Non-Catalogers<br /><br /><b><u>Basic MARC</b></u><br /><br />• Understanding MARC Bibliographic: <a href="http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/">http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/</a> Machine-Readable Cataloging <br /><br />If you have any questions about the Statewide Cataloging Standards of the Certification tests, please contact John Slanicky 877-542-7257 or at john.slanicky@railslibraries.info.2017-02-23T03:00:00-06:002016-12-12T10:35:01-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24478When Nice is Not Enough: How to Master Difficult Customer Service Situations (RAILS)Thursday, February 23 <br />9:30 AM - 12:30 PM<br />Zion-Benton Public Library<br /><b>This workshop is currently full to capacity.

Career Online High School (COHS) is a service that libraries can offer which will make a difference in people’s lives and the well-being of the community. It’s available at more than 100 libraries across the country, including Fountaindale Public Library and 10 RAILS libraries.<br /><br />Career Online High School is made available to public libraries through Gale, a Cengage Company and its product partner, Smart Horizons Career Online Education. Libraries can readily adopt this program because of the extensive training, implementation and student recruitment support provided by Gale.<br /><br />What is Career Online High School and why is it needed in Illinois?<br /><br />In the state, 11% or 1,451,717 adults over the age of 25 years are without a high school diploma. Career Online High School is an educational program which gives students the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and career certificate simultaneously. The goal is to bring adult learners who lack a high school diploma back into the educational system and prepare them for jobs in growing sectors of the economy. Students graduate with the tools needed to take the next step in their careers or education.<br />Attend one of the RAILS webinars to learn about significant savings available to Illinois libraries. By participating with libraries throughout the state, you can take advantage of unprecedented, limited-time only pricing. <br />2017-02-28T09:00:00-06:002017-02-02T06:10:38-06:00http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=23426IHLS Board Meeting (IHLS)Tuesday, February 28 <br />5:00 PM - 6:00 PM<br />IHLS - Edwardsville - Large Meeting Room<br />IHLS - Carbondale Service Center-- Room 218 <br />IHLS - Champaign - Large Conf Room<br />Decatur Public Library<br />Illinois State Library<br />Southeastern Illinois College<br /><a href="http://illinoisheartland.org/?q=about/board/board-meetings">IHLS Board meeting information</a><br />2017-02-28T11:00:00-06:002016-08-15T04:34:35-05:00
