Today @ the library

today at the library we had a tour and leared a little abouts blogs and research things on the internet and learned how to find books using the library database. i like that the library database was easy to search.

Biography class came to the library

Today our Biography class came to the library; we had a quick tour as well as a one minute demonstration on chair yoga. After being given the tour, we picked out a book from the non-fiction section on a subject that interests us. I personally chose the book, 'Owls of North America' by Frances Backhouse. I also learned that the library offers plenty of public programs that we can attend.

The Tour At The Library by Tyler

I went and took the tour of the library and learned about the computer usage and online databases. I saw the demonstration for the automobile repair and maintenance database. I visited the biography section and I found a Johnny Cash book. The best part of the tour showing me the biographies.

College students welcome to the library

February 6, Diane Knippshild brought 15 basic education program students to the public library for a tour at 1 pm. 10 students from the pre-12 program, and 6 biology students. The tour guide Manisha introduced the students to different areas of the library.

Diane suggested we could send someone to the college lab to conduct a information literacy session for online databases, how to find things in the library, how to use the library catalog, how to manage bookmarks, create blogs and conduct effective online searches. Diane suggested we could do a poster for college students.


Report for my supervisors: Library cards were issued or renewed, PIN activated for online use of library services, students checked out fiction and nonfiction books, students created and added posts on this blog, aboriginal storytelling week and library programs information was given to all the students and the teacher.

Prior to the tour; a information needs assessment of the students was done. The topics requested by the instructor included --- writing poetry, martial arts, wine making recipes, growing grapes, sports, learning to speak Spanish, Nazis, justice system, and magnetism, and wood working. Tags for these topics were placed on the shelves across various aisles in the library. A demonstration for the online database - Automotive Repair and Maintenance was conducted. Students were shown that the databases could be accessed from any computer that had internet access. A quick information literacy session about the library catalog and search engine was done using 'root cellars' subject term. At 2:30 pm the students loaded with a caravan of checked out books went back to the college. One of the students, Chris said, "Library is a information agency.'
