• Just in time for Earth Day, is NetLibrary’s eBook of the Month, Mallory Goes Green!
Written by Laurie Friedman, Illustrated by Jennifer Kalis, April 2010
Before you spend those hard fought for dollars on eBooks, click on over to GALILEO and access your NetLibrary. Net Library provides access to an eContent collection. eContent is the digital version of books, journals, and database content. You can access your library’s eContent 24 hours a days, seven days a week. Within the UWG NetLibrary there are currently 27,441 eResources available. For the bi-lingual or foreign languages, they have English, French, and Spanish versions in addition to several others in Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, etc; Both fiction and non-fiction, accessible on-line and downloadable (MP3 and WMA). Additionally there are extra resources and Teachers’ help from links provided to the Publisher Web site, Teacher Resources and fun activities, Author’s blog, and this month “Mallory McDonald on Facebook”. Just like other great databases within GALILEO, there are both the Basic Search and Advance Search engines and the ability to create a free account for logging your eResource selections, bookmarks, favorites and manage your notes.
I went to the Rising Starr Middle School Galileo NetLibrary site and found 3,457 eResources available at that level.
So bookmark a few, write some notes and send some links to your teachers. Give them easy access to already available eResources and make them your allies on your crusade to bring eResources into the forefront. Don’t forget to post the monthly eBooks to your Media Center webpage and add it to your daily announcements. ‘One small click for man, one giant nanosecond for mankind.’

Sharing these with our teachers is just another way to get someone on board with new technological ideas. Showing teachers how to "read and listen" to eBooks will only help them get on board faster and allow us to showcase what we can do to help educate our students.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of posting the monthly eBook to the media center website. Having these there will allow even the most reticent of souls a chance to look without anyone knowing! Perhaps it will instill the love of ereading to others.
