Yes, here is a new acronym that needs to be embedded in our thinking. 2013 will be a year of living dangerously when RDA arrives. Don’t know about RDA yet? Then it’s time to get excited, and up-to-date!

Many Libraries already have these things...which suggests we need to do a better marketing job.

I saw this infographic on What Librarians Do and I absolutely love it. With a little over a month left before school gets out and with the task of beginning an end of the year inventory - I challenge you to look at one box a day and reflect on that one thing. For example: Day One :Teaches - how many students were you able to reach via classes or in the library setting to see that they could locate and share information. Or, Day Two: Tweets - do you tweet and post events on twitter? Delete the scoop?

A free service that makes publishing content on the web as easy as writing an email. Create and share your Tackk now!
Librarian@HOPE's curator insight,
June 16, 6:57 PM
With Tackk, students can produce slick, professional looking reports on any subject in literally a matter of minutes, allowing them to focus on learning the content rather than worrying about the form in which it's presented. Without having to create an account, students have access to easy, professional-quality text, image, and video integration, which makes for a much richer online experience than was previously possible with this little headache. Teachers have used Tackk to both supplement, and in some cases replace, more traditional projects like posters and folders. In addition to being quick, user-friendly, and elegant, it can also serve as a valuable introduction to web-based publishing for students of all ages. -- Eric Sheninger
