The Five Laws of Librarianship

I'm currently taking a free online course called "Cataloguing for Non-Catalogers" from WebJunction (the learning place for libraries). I've just learned about the five laws of librarianship and the infographic below contained html code for sharing, so I believe it's ok to paste it here.

Brainstorming - Future Vision Project Post #1 Design Considerations

Image
Mindmap Creative Commons licensed image courtesy of TeroVesalainen on Pixabay Brainstorming and Goal Setting It's a little overwhelming to have so many options for my future vision project, which makes it hard to narrow down my focus. When considering a topic, I want to be sure to integrate my learning from this course and to produce something that will be helpful to me and others. In terms of a product, I would like to challenge myself and try presenting it using a new-to-me technology such as a podcast or an infographic. SAMR Model, Image Modified from Original by Lefflerd on Wikimedia Commons In the process of designing my project, I will endeavour to remember the SAMR model of using technology, and not simply use technology for technology's sake.

Transcript of screencast Introduction My final vision project for LIBE 477 is a Destiny Discover Basics screencast that is aimed at students and staff in the Vancouver School Board who are not familiar with this search interface. This 4:28-minute-long video introduces Destiny Discover, shows how to access it, and demonstrates how to search for books. I have created a transcript of the screencast and embedded it in the video description box on YouTube for increased accessibility. After attending a Follett Destiny Discover training session facilitated by  Camille Sullivan , I wanted to solidify my learning by teaching others about what I had been taught. I had colleagues who weren't able to attend the workshop and I wanted to share my tips with them. I thought a screencast would be an efficient way of sharing my knowledge with a wide audience who could watch at a time convenient to them. I used tips from the workshop and information from the Follett Training Manual to write a...
