Books, technology and libraries

What a great day! It was very rainy here. The kind of day folks say, I just want to lay around and read!! I did a little of that ( I needed to get my book titles ready for a meeting on Saturday) but I also got to see two really good videos showing library media students teaching others how to use a non-book resource. Both were great videos and I enjoyed them because they hit all the particulars of the class rubrics, but they really made me think once again of the awesome responsibility we have in the library. We need to promote good and great literature, we need to turn students onto books and we also want to encourage our staff members to venture into the world of social networking!! It is the future for our libraries. I also graded two virtual reference interviews. They were both totally online!! Hey, who out there is ready to do virtual reference in school libraries. The books being published right now are awesome, and the new technologies are really a big wow!!!
