BTW Library Tech Talk
March 2017
In this issue of Tech Talk I am highlighting two databases. The Digital Collections on the Tulsa City County Website and PrepSTEP - a new college prep website I have purchased and put on the library website. This will be the last issue of Tech Talk for the 2016-2017 school year. Yep, we are that close! If you ever have questions or ideas you would like shared please email me at harmoka@tulsaschools.org.
Tulsa City County Library Digital Collections
Found at http://guides.tulsalibrary.org/localhistory. Do you need local pictures, land maps, oral histories? You can find them here! Under the "Digital Collections" tab you will find Austin Hellwig's photo journals of the city of Tulsa, Beryl Ford's collection of photographs and artifacts noted to be the most extensive collection about the city of Tulsa, and much, much more.
PrepSTEP on the Library Website
I am on a personal mission to make BTW hold the record for most National Merit Scholarships and 4 year scholarships for the Tulsa area! I am so excited about the PrepSTEP database! It is not only a wonderful website for ACT, PSAT, SAT, and AP test preparation, it also has extensive reviews for Math, Reading and Science. Under the Career Center the reviews concentrate on preparing the student for subject areas in college entrance exams. Under the School Center the tutorials, ebooks and exams are to boost the students skills in core subjects to be used during their years here at Booker T. The link is found on the library website at http://btw.tulsa.schooldesk.net/Library/tabid/45660/Default.aspx . Please share this with your students! Let me know if you would like to bring your class to the library computer lab to have me show the students what this database can do for them!
Hornets of Destruction take second!
These 6 young ladies took the opportunity to compete at the African American Heritage History Bowl by storm! They had a lot of fun and are determined to be first next year.
