I attended the session on collaboration between libraries and was pleased that we had all types of libraries represented. Rachel Shankles shared information about the library group in Garland County. We also discussed how we could collaborate with our local libraries and how we could help each other. If other public and academic libraries would like to contact their local public school libraries, they can get in touch with the nearest educational coop http://arkansased.org/schools/schools_coops.html Generally each coop meets with their media specialists 2-4 times a year and has weekly contact through media delivery. We have a state-wide group called Arkansas Association for Instructional Media (AAIM). The nearly 600 members stay in touch through a listserv and a yearly conference. AAIM membership ($20 per year) allows you to post to the listserv and gives a discount to the conference http://aaim.k12.ar.us/Forms/AAIM%20Gift%20Membership%20Form.pdf
