Research papers have all been submitted and many can now be viewed on the TMCanada wiki http://tmcanada.pbworks.com/ . Please visit the wiki to see what?s involved in this upcoming event and to share comments, on the Your Turn page! You can also view a promo PSA video and preview research paper summaries on the TMCanada blog http://tmcanada.blogspot.com/ . Please share these links with all the Teacher-Librarians and School Library Technicians in your district. Join us in the discussion through collaborative online dialogue! For those of you who will not be in attendance, please take some time in your busy schedule to visit the blog several times on June 2nd and 3rd, to view video coverage of major speakers and to read regular updates! You can share individual comments per post! Even though you won?t be there in person you can be an important voice for school libraries! To all of you coming to Edmonton, see you there!

Your responses will help inform the Committee's policy and advocacy work. Results are shared with the Book and Periodical Council [of Canada] and the Office of Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association. The purpose of the survey is to gather data about the nature and outcomes of challenges to library materials and policies (e.g., collection management, access to Internet and facilities) initiated in publicly funded, Canadian libraries (e.g, public, school, academic, and government) between JANUARY 1 and DECEMBER 31, 2009. One form should be submitted for each challenge to an item or a policy. Survey in English: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CFML5C6 Survey in French: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CFQ7CY3 . Many thanks to Richard Beaudry for the French translation! Please respond by June 30, 2010. If you have questions about the survey, feel free to contact me at alvin.schrader at ualberta.ca or 780-446-8996. Thank you for participating in this important work!
