LIBGUIDES
I am working on creating "MH Library Libguides". LibGuides is an online content management system with topical guides.
The purpose is to curate information, share databases, web links and other specific resources. Students can click on their assignments and link directly to electronic resources. (Similar to pathfinder pages librarians created on Blackboard years ago.)
Our main campus librarians have created TCW main campus libguide page. See link below.
Students on both campuses can link to MH or main campus libguides and sites are available on Blackboard MH library Lib guides will be located at http://tcw-mh.libguides.com/
Please e-mail me research projects & assignments. (Thank you Ms. Ignacio, Mr. Duncan & Ms. Sparks Brown for providing research projects that I can include in MH Libguides.

NoodleTools is an App and Google Accessible!!
Teachers,
NoodleTools is now an app that students and teachers can access with their Google login.
(Some classes registered during library orientation) NoodleTools is a great research organizational tool that will allow students to organize their research, notes, citation information and ideas all in one place.
Please let me know if you would like to schedule a time for your class to have a NoodleTools overview or help with registration.

Alexandria Public Library & MH Library Collaboration
I have had the pleasure to collaborate with the Alexandria's Public Library's Teen Services over the past few years. Throughout the years, we have collaborated with library card sign-up summer reading , book clubs and other reading ventures. There is a new coordinator who shares my passion for reading and creating diversity and opportunities for all students through programming.
Isaiah West is the new Teen Services Coordinator for Alexandria Public Library. Below are just some of the awesome programs he has created. Isaiah often stops by to support my Graphic Novel Club and proves free comics and resources. We hope to have fun collaborating together for MH Library programs and events
