I added the RSS feed from the Abby (the) Librarian blog. In Abby’s own words, this is “the blog of a new public librarian posting about good books, children's programming, and anything else library or kid-lit related.” New books, old favorites, book reviews, circle time ideas, and children’s literature news – What more could a prospective children’s librarian ask for?
Competency #3 -- podcast
Thursday, February 5, 2009
Since my topic is diversity in public libraries and their collections, I found this podcast through youtube by using the three search terms of podcast public library. Youtube showed the original podcast that showed Abilene Public Library patrons how to access the brand new podcasts. However, when I explored their listing of podcasts a little further, I found the podcast titled "01-28-09@the library column" that discusses ways to celebrate diversity, especially since February is Black History Month.

Competency #2 -- Blog
Sunday, February 1, 2009
“Nowadays, our students are digital natives, that is, "children who were born into and raised in the digital world", children who spend a lot of time surfing on the net, chatting with their friends, playing computer games... This is not learning, but what about changing this? What about teaching them to use the tools they can find on the net to learn English? I am sure that if every student could use these tools in order to learn English and acquire knowledge, not only at school but also at home, anywhere, his language would improve very quickly.”
This started me wondering what kind of ESL/EFL games my own local library has in their collection.
