POWER Library Announcement

Just received this email:

Dear Library Community:

With this message the Office of Commonwealth Libraries is announcing the resources that will be provided under the POWER Library Network for 2010. This is the package of resources as of today, January 28, 2010.

POWER Library Network 2010:

General Periodical Resources (H.W. Wilson)

Newspaper Resources (Gale)

Business Resources (ProQuest ABI Inform)

Contemporary Authors

AP Photo Archive

The detail on the content of the new resources will be announced next week. Any additions to this package will be announced as decisions are finalized.

Contemporary Authors and AP Photo Archive will continue to be available uninterrupted. Work is underway to make the technological connections to begin access to the announced content as quickly as possible.

The Office of Commonwealth Libraries regrets the inconvenience and anxiety this change and interruption in offerings will undoubtedly cause.

My favorite authors

Come into the library to check out a book by one of these authors!
You'll see my name on there as well since these are my own personal favorite authors.

I made this on a website called Wordle - check it out!

New books!

Coming soon...

Hope to see you there!

Also, don't forget to purchase a raffle ticket [or two, or three] at lunch before this event - 2 winners will be drawn after the movie! If your name is picked first, you have the choice of a prize - either your very own 6 foot tall Edward Cullen OR the two-disc DVD!

Refreshments will be for sale at the movie. All proceeds from the raffle and refreshments go to the LC library! Thanks for helping improve our library collection!

New ONLINE catalog!

Please welcome the LC Library to the 21st century! Today we started using our new online catalog, called Destiny! Click here to check it out.

Basically what this means is:

1. you can now search for library books from anywhere that you have internet access!
2. we can add websites and ebooks to our catalog
   
3. you can create your own login and then you can:

• see what items you have checked out and when they are due
  
• see any fines you owe
• create reading lists
• put books on hold
  
• check out e-books [coming soon]

Also, you can try Destiny Quest. It's the cool way to use the library. No, really. Go try it out!

Bubblicious

This has nothing to do with school or the library....well, it could relate to art class, if you are amazingly talented and great at art, which I am not. Which is probably why I love this video so much, because I know I could never make anything this good, and I totally appreciate the effort put into this. Plus, it's just really cool.

Need a photo for a project?

Check out the LIFE photo archive. There are photos from the 1750s to today! This link is now available on the LC Library website under 'Research links.'

Here is a pic I found using the LIFE archive. This is one of my favorite people from the past...
