Your New INSPIRE Product: Teachingbooks.net
The easy-to-use website that adds a multimedia dimension to the reading experiences of children's and young adult books. The online database is developed and maintained to include thousands of resources about fiction and nonfiction books used in the K–12 environment, with every resource selected to encourage the integration of multimedia author and book materials into reading and library activities. For more information about all of the great resources available to you through TeachingBooks.net, check out the Support Area for great webinars, videos, web 2.0 tools, promotional materials, and much more to maximize the benefits of your subscription through INSPIRE. Like all INSPIRE products, TeachingBooks.net will be searchable through the INSPIRE interface. Check INSPIRE often this week, as this product will be available in the very near future. When you see the TeachingBooks.net widget (displayed above), you will have full access to this great new resource. Also, be sure to register for one of the eight webinars over the next two months that cover the recent additions of five Gale Databases and TeachingBooks.net to the INSPIRE suite. Each webinar is worth one (1) Technology LEU. No pre-registration is required, but participants must sign in via the WebJunction Indiana calendar at least 10 minutes before the webinar begins. Campaign Encourages Libraries to Get Your Geek On
However, it is important to note that this will be ‘your’ campaign as OCLC cannot provide any kind of financial support as it did with the program's pilot library. In order to be successful, Geek the Library recommends that you identify funds from the library budget that can be applied to advertising, community events and other campaign-related activities. Geek the Library is currently writing a comprehensive report about the pilot campaign (which included the Shelbyville-Shelby County Public Library) and will soon launch a website to promote Geek the Library to the broader library community. Interested libraries will eventually be able to register via this website for more information. For now, if you are interested in the Geek the Library awareness campaign, please contact Jenny Powell, Field Marketing Manager for the OCLC Geek the Library campaign, at 678-517-1651 or powellj@oclc.org.
