Message from Julie
Although it is great that Google "works so well" we know that students need information literacy skills to be able to locate and evaluate information. Adams 12 students are fortunate to have members of the Digital Literacy Partnership to help them acquire the information literacy skills required to use Google, World Book Online, and (fill in the blank) successfully! Thanks for everything you do for the Adams 12 community!

Titlewave Collection Analysis
Many of you have emailed and said that the "Submit Collection" button isn't there. Jennifer said that the username you use for Titlewave might not be the same as the one you use for Destiny. If you don't know or aren't sure of your username or password for Titlewave, go to the Titlewave login page and click on the forgot username or password link - https://www.titlewave.com/login/
Colorado State Library Grant
Last year the library grant funds were used to purchase preschool story kits, which will be distributed within the next few weeks. The kits include a variety of materials that all relate to a theme and will circulate through the preschools. Thanks to the Information Materials Center staff for making circulation of the preschool story kits possible!
