Awesome Highlighter for reference situations?

2008-07-19T18:25:21.247Z

Hi Deborah, Thanks for directing me to Diigo. I used Delicious before, but Diigo seems way better. Perhaps you can help me: is there a way to import Delicious bookmarks into Diigo? Also in case you don't know: thanks. This is a marvellous tool. Regards, Mireille

This Is What I've Been Trying To Say

Hi David, I read the article and it's very good indeed, thanks. It's quite important that more non-information professionals start to understand that the internet is no substitute for actual physical libraries. What Robert Darnton writes about the risks of information loss for example (referring a.o. to Google's book search) really set off an alarm bell with me. Regards & thanks again, Mireille

Meg, What kind of metadata did you track in your digital library? Did you use any Joomla extensions, for example the Dublin Core Extended extension? Thanks, Steve

A Tale of Two Conferences

Cathy, I am happy to report that we had a direct connection to some of the AASL leadership at ALA from NECC. It looks like next year we will have a mini conference within NECC in DC. I was thrilled it worked.

Looking for an inspirational online video about teaching

Looking for an inspirational online video about teaching

2008-07-01T22:19:41.722Z

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a relatively brief (no more than 7-8 minutes, could be shorter) video that is online. I want to use it to inspire a group of solid, experienced, dedicated teachers about their work with kids. It should focus on teaching in general - no particular grade level or subject, no particular emphasis on the future, or economic competitiveness, or technology. It certainly should have emotional impact and provoke positive impulses (not anger or disappointment)- although it can surely be funny. Any ideas? This is for a teacher professional development project I'm working on. Thanks very much. Please feel free to email me: jlerman (at) kean (dot) edu Sincerely, Jim Lerman Kean University
