This is a tag cloud for Information power : building partnerships for learning. The text was listed as a good reference for school librarians. I would like for this to be a good reference book for my role as a school librarian.

I found this reference on www.librarything.com .

Competency 4 - RSS feed

For this competency I will be inserting a link to the American Association of School Librarians RSS feed for posts. I selected this link since my field of study is school librarianship. I hope that this feed will provide me with new information regarding my field. I am already amazed at the new skills I am acquiring. I know they will be put to good use when I am able to have my own library.

Competency 3 - Podcast

For this competency I was to search for a podcast relating to my area of focus which is school libraries. After searching through http://podcasts.yahoo.com/ I located a podcast from Maureen M. Welch Elementary school in Pennsylvania. The website link for the library is http://www.crsd.org/5034298164240/site/default.asp .

The podcast that sparked my interest was for a program they call Destiny. This is their online card catalog. The podcast is a step by step instruction guide for students/parents to locate information provided by the library. It contained narrative instructions as well as an interactive screen which users could watch the mouse pointer go to certain areas to locate information.

Here is the link to the podcast : http://www.crsd.org/5034298164240/lib/5034298164240/Destiny/Destiny.wmv


I would like to create this kind of podcast when I am a librarian. I can see so much benefit for beginning and advanced users of an online card catalog.
