Subject: [DIG_REF] Digital Reference Resources
Over the past several years I have compiled a number of Web resources
dealing with the topic of online or virtual or digital reference services,
i.e., the provision of reference services, involving collaboration between
library user and librarian, in a computer-based medium.
I've created an index page for these resources:
http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/~b-sloan/bernie.htm
This Web page includes links to:
Digital Reference Primer - A basic, general introduction to digital
reference services.
Digital Reference Services: A Bibliography - A Web-based bibliography on the
subject of digital reference. There are more than 450 entries in this
bibliography, more than 200 of which have links to Web accessible documents.
Live Digital Reference Case Studies: A Bibliography - A brief bibliography
of articles/papers/reports/case studies written about digital reference
services at specific libraries, written by people with some sort of formal
affiliation with the project. In other words, people reporting about
experiences with digital reference.
Collaborative Live Reference Services - A listing of nearly 40 collaborative
live reference services, i.e., real-time reference services offered by two
or more libraries.
Digital Reference Question Logs - A listing of question logs from several
digital reference services. Useful for seeing the types of questions asked
by real digital reference service users.
The Reference Interview in the Digital Library: A Bibliography - A brief
bibliography dealing with the application of the reference interview in the
digital library.

Subject: HIT: HS Native American Literature
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my request for websites on
Native American Literature as a genre and websites about Native American
Authors. The American Lit. teacher I work with was very appreciative to
recieve so many websites and suggestions of authors. Several people
requested that I post a hit, so here it is.
Try these:
http://www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/NativeThemes.htm and
http://www.oyate.org/intro.html They were both recommended in a class I
took on children's lit.
====================
Here are four sites to try:
Amerind Foundations links to numerous sites related to archaeology, history
of Native Americans
http://www.amerind.org/
Virtual Library Index of Native American Resources on the Internet
http://www.hanksville.org/NAresources/
Native American sites selected by a former university librarian:

I have some on my website at:
http://www.chlive.org/home/eastlibrary/natamer.htm
================
Here is one website: http://www.indigenouspeople.org/natlit/body_final.html
Usually you can find individual author websites by typing in the name of
the author: James Welch, Adrian Louis, Louis Owens (I think that
iscorrect), Michael Dorris, Louise Erdrich, Paula Gunn Allen, Joy Harjo.
=============
I have 2 recommendations.
1- Sherman Alexie- (Prolific author-content is probably most appropriate
for high schoolers. ) www.fallsapart.com/
2- 2- Jim Boyd - (Singer/songwriter, writes about many of the political
issues facing Indians
today.) www.thunderwolfrecords.com/
===========
Your request for information about Native American literature Web sites was
forwarded to, thank you for your interest (and the teacher's) in Native
literature. I'd like to invite you both to visit my pages on Native
children's literature

New Website Captures 9/11 Memories
The National Park Service (NPS) launched a website today that features
an "on-line" exhibit. Titled 9/11/01 The Meaning Of National Parks in
Times of Crises, the site provides access to personal accounts of park
visitors and employees both on and following the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. The site--whose address is
http://www.nps.gov/remembrance--also invites its virtual visitors to comment on
their current reflections about the value of National Parks in their lives today.
The site features some 20 interviews from an NPS oral historyproject
that recorded the experiences and perspectives of employees who responded
to the attacks and their aftermath at 12 sites in New York, Washington and
around the country. In announcing the new website, NPS director Fran
Mainella stated, "The National Park Service and our partners, the National
Park Foundation and Eastern National want everyone to explore the memories
of our workers and visitors -- and add personal comments and reactions."
"These parks and their people, the rangers, gardeners, police,
secretaries, and more, will always carry the memory of September 11.
Our visitors, at parks both near and far have shared their ideas of why and
how they value the parks and the people who serve them. The message of
September 11 is not only of loss. September 11 speaks of courage,
determination and perseverance," she said.
The design and creation of the on-line exhibit is made possible
through a grant from The National Park Foundation (NPF) to the Recovery
and Remembrance Fund (Fund). "As we all continue to deal with our grief
from the tragedy of September 11 in different ways, it is helpful to remember
>that National Parks can serve as special places for solitude, reflection
and comfort," said Jim Maddy, president of the National Park Foundation.
""Now more than ever, National Parks have a special role to play in our
lives, and connecting Americans to these special places through this web
site is a role the National Park Foundation is pleased to play."
In addition to the web site, the Fund has underwritten the collection
of the website's featured material, including the oral history project. It
is managed by Eastern National, a nonprofit educational organization
serving America's national parks and other public trusts. "Soon after 9/11,
it was apparent that NPS staff and visitors had been deeply affected by
what happened," said Eastern National President Chesley Moroz. "We
established the Recovery and Remembrance Fund to document the oral
histories of the park employees who witnessed and have supported the
9-11-01 recovery efforts and to create educational programs about the
September 11th events and the involvement of national parks. Thanks to
the generosity of the National Park Foundation and a number of organizations
and individuals, we are pleased that the Fund was able to underwrite this
important project," she said.
Featured parks include Federal Hall National Memorial, which on
9/11/01 served as a safe haven for some 250 people fleeing from the falling
debris and choking dust caused by the collapse of the World Trade Center.
Others are: The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Gateway in New York
City; parks of metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Western Pennsylvania area
parks; Fort McHenry (MD); Independence (PA); Shenandoah (VA); Mount Rainier
(WA); Manzanar (CA); Yosemite (CA); and Golden Gate (CA).
Visitors to the website experience the ways these national park areas
and their staffs and visitors responded to the events of 9/11 and its
aftermath. The project also documents visitors talking about their sense
of a heightened value of parks since the attacks. The website links to a
number of related sites including the Official Flight 93 Website, The
September 11 Digital Archive, and Museums Celebrate America's Freedoms.
The site uses the impact of the medium to present sound, video, and static displays.
s2n Media of New York, which has done website development
for a wide range of commercial and government clients, including the
Smithsonian and the National Science Foundation, was contracted to create
the site. The design team has obtained permission to incorporate post 9-11
news footage of parks and visitors from disparate places throughout the
National Park System.
The NPS considers the website a work in progress and hopes that
visitors will be inspired to share their stories and comments in the
Remembrance section of the site . The goal is to allow people from around
the United States and the world to contribute to the project and to
incorporate their contributions into future exhibits and publications.

<<<Robert H. Michel Civic Education Grants Announcement>>>
***DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2002***
The Dirksen Congressional Center invites applications for grants
totaling $50,000 in 2001-2002 to help teachers, curriculum developers,
and others improve the quality of civics instruction, with priority on
the role of Congress in our federal government. Areas of interest
include designing lesson plans, creating student activities, and
applying instructional technology in the classroom.
Teachers (4th through 12th grades), community college faculty, and
college and university faculty are eligible as are teacher-led student
teams and individuals who develop curriculum. Priority will be given to
the following disciplines: history, government, social studies,
political science, and education.
Institutions and organizations are not eligible. Inter-institutional
consortia and other groups of individual may apply, but grant funds may
not be used to defray indirect costs or overhead expenses. The funds are
intended solely to produce "deliverables" of use to classroom teachers.
Final proposals must be submitted by no later than October 1, 2002.
Complete information about eligibility and application procedures, may
be found at The Center's Web site --
http://www.dirksencenter.org/grantmichelciviced.htm. The Center does
not provide an application form. You may find it helpful to review the
sample grant proposal at --

is the program officer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Center, named for the late Senate Minority Leader Everett M.
Dirksen, is a private, non-partisan, nonprofit research and educational
organization devoted to the study of Congress and its leaders. The
Center created the Michel Civic Education Grants to fund practical
classroom strategies to improve the quality of teaching and learning
about civics, with a particular emphasis on the role of Congress in the
federal government. The goal of education in civics, we believe, is
informed, responsible participation in political life by competent
citizens. Current levels of political knowledge, political engagement,
and political enthusiasm leave much to be desired. Part of the solution
rests in better instructional practices.
