The Why and How of Using Facebook For Educators – No Need to be Friends At All!
If you are one of those out there that believe that Facebook has no place in the classroom, then, well maybe this post isn’t for you. But please first take a look at just a few reasons why you should reconsider: The fact is, the majority of your students and their parents are probably already on Facebook Even when schools have a policy against being “friends” online, there are tools you can use that won’t violate policy Despite what you may hear , there are strong privacy options that you can set up so only those that you want can access your information We have an obligation as educators to model appropriate online behavior and learn right along our students From http://www.mindjumpers.com/blog/2011/04/education-industry-infographic-2/ Where do we begin?

General Introduction This manual was written for anyone who would like to create basic MARC bibliographic records for library materials without having to use a MARC-based system. It describes the basic MARC data elements that should be in a record and provides information about some of the available tools used to create MARC records. Many of these tools are available online free of charge. MARC is a widely used but not always well understood standard developed by libraries for the exchange of library information, especially cataloging data.

“Libraries should be seizing every opportunity to challenge these perceptions, and to push their genuinely valuable content, services and expertise out to places where people might stand to benefit from them; places where a user would rarely consider drawing upon a library for support."—Paul Miller, from “Web 2.0: Building the New Library," Ariadne 45 (October 2005) ( http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue45/miller/ ) Jenny’s previous post noting that libraries should be playing a pivotal role in the development of Web 2.0/Library 2.0 services , leads me to ponder what first steps the uninitiated might take—as well as the personal side of the social software universe. I touched on it briefly at CPL last week, but there was just so much to talk about that day.
