= Welcome to The School Library Wiki! =

The School Library Wiki is your, the faculty of The School, portal to the information that you need to help teach your students. As your media specialist, I will oversee the wiki, but all the content does not come from me. It is specifically designed to be a collaborative effort among all faculty of The School. Please take the time to review the pages, start discussions, and make additions to the wiki.

I am here to help you with your information needs. Use the Library Calendar page to set up a time to bring your class to the library to review sources, both print and electronic, available to them. Do you need to teach your students about the research process and citing sources? The Research Models page and MLA Citation Page provide you with a solid starting place for both the beginner and advanced students. Are you looking for a new and exciting way for your students to present their work? Peruse the Web 2.0 Tools page. Did you find a web 2.0 tool that worked with your classroom? Why not share that with your colleagues and add it to the Web 2.0 Tools page? Are your students having a hard time selecting books to read to meed their AR requirements? The Book Awards and Lists and Book Trailers and Videos pages provides links to great Young Adult Literature sure to entice your students.

The School Library is here as a resource for not only your students, but all the faculty too. As a teacher-librarian, I can help you teach your students information literacy skills that will last a lifetime, provide you with information on the latest NCLB legislation, offer new and exciting ways to use technology to motivate your students, and instill a love of reading for a lifetime. As award winning author Laurie Hals Anderson says,"school libraries are the foundation of our culture, not luxuries."
