2 New Selection Tools Online

Today I received a new email newsletter entitled: Quick Tips from Book Links. If you haven't seen it, you can go to: http://link.ixs1.net/s/ve?eli=k160219&si=e182487167&cfc=3html to view it and sign up to receive future issues. In the newsletter, I found reference to the new ALSC blog from ALA. I haven't seen this before.

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), has launched an ALSC blog at http://www.alsc. ala.org/blog. The blog provides a venue for coverage and interactive discussion of time sensitive news in children’s librarianship, current issues in the field, programs, conferences, initiatives, resources and activities of interest to ALSC members and those interested in children’s librarianship. I found a great comment about displays that you can read in total on a post for Dec. 7, 2007 at http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/?p=139#comments: "I have to admit to putting books on display in libraries that I don’t even work in. Kinda like committing random acts of kindness – I commit random acts of display." Have you tried this?

Winter Fun 2.0

It's here! Winter Fun with School Library Learning 2.0. I'm looking forward to being a peer cheerleader, especially after finally meeting some of the Summer Fun bloggers f2f at the CSLA Conference. I'm also looking forward to learning some new tools and tricks as we continue this adventure together. If you are hesitating to get started, come on. We'll help and it's lots more fun than the after Christmas sales.
