Thank you to Crystal and Britany for sharing with us! Be on the lookout for more MakerSpace videos as others begin to record their experiences. Contact me if you'd like to contribute to the effort! I hereby declare November 14th Maker Monday! I challenge everyone to let your students "Make" on that day. Plenty of activities to choose from!
Minimum Content for Library Webpages- Time for a Checkup EVERYONE! :)
We need to be sure that we ALL use our webpage to extend our presence beyond the physical walls of our library. Minimum content on everyone's Library webpage should be at LEAST:
1. Librarian Name & Contact Information
2. A link to the AVL
3. A working link to YOUR library OPAC
4. Digital tools, apps and resources appropriate for the school's individual audience. Their structure should reflect the same approach as collection development -- some reference that always stay on the page-- some that rotate according to need.
You can find a list of resources that others are using on the new Alabama Library Media webpage (link above and below)--just click the Spotlight on Library Webpages tab. "Thank you" to all who contributed links and reviews! Keep them coming as you find them!
Alabama ESSA Title Committee Meeting
Weed it!
Based on condition!
We don't have a "10 books for each student" standard to meet accreditation anymore.
Weed it!
Based on age and accuracy of information!
Focus on your 500's-700's and weed-- The AVL will help supplement this information until you can replenish the old materials.
