Resource Lists Part 2

Create a list. Look at the bottom of the list. Check ‘Show notes’ and you have a bibliography with the book summary. This one is sorted by Title then Author. There are other sort options.

This list can promote new books!  Put the books on display with a few copies of the lists you’ve created for teachers or students to use.  A new book promotion for teachers with a morning snack will get them into the library. Let me know when and I'll be there too. Books and bagels..mmmm.

 

 

Friday Fun

Friday NOT SO MUCH Fun...We've seen libraries during remodeling, heard of collections housed in classrooms, parts of collections stored in trailers, librarians on a cart for months...here's our first library in a cafeteria at the Barclay school in Brockport.

  Suzanne and Jen take it all in & smile. They make it work.

Student Resource Lists

Students can use Resource Lists to keep track of books they want to read. Of course, lists can be made for school projects, but kids can use Resource Lists for pleasure reading. I can make a list at the public library..why not the school library?  

Friday Fun Clever Promotional Ideas

This QR code was displayed throughout the building during open house at Athena (not on a cubicle wall at BOCES like this picture). When scanned, the Destiny catalog opened. Parents explored resources from the library! 

Here's the doorway at Hill Elementary Library. Mini posters were made of the books teachers read for pleasure because "We are a Community of Readers!"

 

 

Updated District Links

The links provided for each library include Classic Catalog, Quest and Visual Search. There are instructions for creating permalinks to a Resource List, a book review and an individual item in the catalog.

Friday Fun - a day early!

We hope you have a productive Superintendent's Conference Day.

The Library Automation Team is leading sessions in a couple of our districts for librarians. 

They will learn how to create Visual Searches in Destiny.  

Maybe you will have some time in your library?

 

What's your opinion of Universal Search?

Have you explored Destiny's new interface Universal Search? What do you think of it?
