“A collection of resources on how librarians are embedding themselves in learning spaces”
If librarians truly wish to be where the user is and to be user-centric, they need to be present in those spaces that users are. Embedded librarianship is a major focus for the future for the profession. The physical library will continue to provide a place for research, for study, and for group work. But, with the dramatic increase in electronic resources and technological capabilities, bringing the library and the librarian to the user, wherever they are—office, laboratory, home, or even on their mobile device—is at the forefront of what it means to be embedded.
"It's time for school librarians to step out and enlighten their communities about
all the ways their libraries impact students’ education. "
What if you weren't constrained by the old rules about textbooks? What if you could mix and match content for course packs from an ever-expanding content library along with your own materials and articles from the web? What if you could then distribute these new course materials in print or eBook, all while saving your students money? Well, now you can."
Thousands of libraries across the United States offer digital lending for Kindle devices. Read on to see how you can enjoy the benefits of free library books on your Kindle.
Just like you can check out physical books from your local library, at over 11,000 public libraries you can also check out ebooks for use on your Kindle. It’s simple, free, and best of all there’s no risk of late fees because the digital books simply expire the day they are due.
"Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. An abstract, citation, playing time, and word count are given for each of the passages. Many of the passages also have a related reading strategy identified. Each reading passage can also be downloaded as a PDF and printed for use as a read-along or as supplemental reading material for your classroom."
In partnership with LitWorld, a non-profit organization based in New York advocating for and working towards global literacy, we are going to "Take Action for Global Literacy, Celebrate the Power of Words, Change the World." March 7 is World Read Aloud Day.
World Read Aloud Day is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write belongs to all people. World Read Aloud Day motivates children, teens, and adults worldwide to celebrate the power of words, especially those words that are shared from one person to another, and creates a community of readers advocating for every child’s right to a safe education and access to books and technology.
We are looking for teachers, schools, school children who want to participate in this World Read Aloud Day on March 7. Thru Skype, we can read aloud to each other across the globe.
