金宝搏彩票盖尔的互联网链接给学术图书馆带来更好的发现金宝搏彩票

由米歇尔·埃克默尔

发现is one of the most discussed and sought after experiences among librarians, students and faculty in academic libraries. They may call those experiences different things, but discovery is the thread running through the needs of these groups. Librarians want all materials to be called upon — find-able by any user at the moment of need. Students often encounter the library’s holdings with a vague understanding of either what they are looking for, or how to find it. Or both. Or neither. Faculty look to support the scholarship of their students and, often, their own research needs as well.

Storytime Goes STEM!

STEM storytime

由Rachel G. Payne

Yes, I freely admit it, I think too much like a librarian. Often this is an asset, but when I first started addingSTEM进入我的故事时间,这成为一个问题。我一直在寻找书籍在非小说部分读到孩子们。我的去世是Red-Eyed Tree Frog由NIC主教说明的Joy Cowley,Actual Size由Steve Jenkins稳固地在500岁。虽然我爱这些书,但我在想太小了。这是一个来自的科学教育家Lynn ColeQueens Library Children’s Discovery Center, to shift my thinking during her staff training on science activities for preschoolers at theBrooklyn Public Library(BPL)。她向我的思想宣传了另一种思考我已经在已经分享的书籍,提醒我们我们可以在图片簿截面中找到与任何地方一样多的科学和数学概念。

May the Fourth Be with You: Using the Force

Star Wars Research GVRL library

By Robert Lisiecki

第四个可能与你在一起时的感觉。等等,我认为这是, “may the force be with you.” You know a film made a monumental impact on society when people assign a date in the calendar year to geek out. Let’s get geeky, Star Wars friends.

我不可否认地不是一个自称的星球大战书呆子,但我在我的一天里有几个轻的军刀战斗,我是万圣节一年的jar jar binks;那么,这是什么东西......对吗?

想想星球大战的影响性质,以及今天仍然是一种力量,这是令人迷人的(他们刚刚发布为新电影演员!). Not only was it a monumental cinematic success, but it also impacted Hollywood, pop culture, and merchandising.

探索旅游DK出版

by bethany dotson.

For Christmas last year, my husband bought me the Rosetta Stone German Level 1-5 Set. He was so excited to give it to me, in fact, that he convinced me to open it five days early (I have to admit—I wasn’t hard to convince). But upon opening the gift, I had to wonder out loud—why German? I had never expressed any interest in learning German—had I?

My patient husband, who is a mechanical engineer by education, by natural inclination, and by trade, responded that he knew that I wanted to take another trip to Europe, and he had settled on Germany as his #1 choice: not because of the fantastic history or culture, or even because of the food and beer, but because, and I quote, “they have a lot of engineers there and their trains run on time.”

Large Print Books Mom Will Love

By Ginny Raye

When I was given this topic, I thought, “Oh, please . . . piece of cake.” I started thinking about the types of books that Ilove,因为,嘿,我是个妈妈!然后我意识到,即使我喜欢一个良好的逃避浪漫(可能比我应该超过我),我91岁的母亲就会不太可能坐到“50种灰色”,可能倾向于诺拉罗伯茨。她绝对喜欢布尼斯伯勒三部曲,我去年圣诞节了。它是大打印的。更好。哦,那里有一些蒸汽,但它被定了到一个小厨房火,与五个报警不同,燃烧的地狱是我通常的选择。唔 。。。这项任务突然变得比我想象的更难。

在COHS校长的生活中的一天

By Teresa Salafrio

Whenever I meet someone and they ask me what I do, I respond, “I am the principal of an online high school for adults who have not previously earned their high school diploma.” The reaction of people is always the same: “What does the principal of an online high school do? You don’t have to deal with behavior problems and since you’re working primarily with adults, you don’t have to work with parents either, like in a typical brick and mortar high school. So what do you do?”

academic coach

达琳·劳伦斯

As an Academic Coach, I am not immune to learning. I learn something every day from students. I welcome and embrace the opportunity and challenge.

Recently, I took some time to reflect on my day. I asked myself what went well, what did not go so well, and what positive impact did I have on my students’ lives. During my time of reflection, I noticed some recurring themes. Students want to be supported, valued, and to succeed.

这里有一些例子:

Howard County Goes Big with STEM for Teens

Teen STEM public library

By Valerie Gross

Two years ago, when Howard County Library System (HCLS) began planning a 50 percent space increase for its Savage Branch, a team of HCLS visionaries proposed an opportunity: Why not design a cool, jazzy space to serve as headquarters for HiTech, HCLS’ cutting-edge STEM education initiative for teens?

这个想法导致了HCLS野蛮的分支机构和Stem教育中心,今年夏天开幕。场地将享有爱因斯坦课堂,乔治华盛顿克莱斯科学实验室,Oscar Micheaux音频/录像室,CurieCafé,Leonoardo Davinci会议室和Gallileo Laptop Bar - 全部适用于HiTech!
