Hi

Our business manager is considering subscribing to Bolinda – a staff member has made the request as they are wanting e-audio books. Can someone with Overdrive please tell me how extensive the range of e-audio books are that they offer?

Has anyone looked at comparison between Overdrive and Bolinda? If you had the choice between the two systems, which subscription would be most beneficial to a K-12 library?

Thank you for your thoughts

Thanks to a kind tweet from @Michael_Jongen, I discovered an interesting app, We Publish.

From my review: Wow! The creative and educational apps I’m finding have me really excited over their potential for kids. Last week I reviewed Toc and Roll, an app that encourages kids to play with and mix their own music. Today I’m thrilled to be telling you about WePublish, an app that allows kids to create their own books. And not just create them in the most magical way, but SEND them to others.

The “book” is a little digital and/or printed booklet, basically picture and caption on each page. The app is not cheap at $6.49, but I think the inherent creativity is worth it. I do think kids may need supervision with the booklet folding process – I know I did!

Dear All

I am a TL in a primary school library. Currently our library is only available to teachers if either the library assistant or myself are in the library. The library uses a different key to the rest of the school. We are looking at changing this so that teachers can access resources during the holidays and at other times when the library is usually closed. I am hopeful that this will be positive and more resources will be used.

I am however, slightly concerned as to the best way of keeping track of the resources the teachers have taken. I would appreciate any suggestions/recommendations which other schools use to encourage teachers to keep a record of the resources they have borrowed.

Many thanks

This week on Just So Stories I feature titles from Magabala Books,
beginning with Counting Aussie Animals in my Backyard.

Located in beautiful Broome
Magabala Books is
Australia’s leading independent Indigenous publishing house. Click on their
logo above to go to their home page. Since 1990 Magabala has been working
to preserve and promote Indigenous culture, knowledge and people. A
not-for-profit Aboriginal-owned and run organisation, Magabala has now
published more than 150 books across a range of genres and their logo of
the bush banana, from which they take their name, has become synonymous
with quality Indigenous literature. They are proud to support emerging
Indigenous writers and artists with their Australian Indigenous Creators’
Scholarships.

A significant number of their published titles have been awarded prizes
including the the
Prime Minister’s Award, WA Premier’s Award, Speech Pathology Australia Book
of the Year and Deadly Award Outstanding Achievement in Literature.

It has been my great pleasure to be able to review the fantastic titles I’ve
received from Magabala and this week Just So Stories is proudly celebrating
Picture Book Month with some deadly titles from this great publishing house.

Find them on Facebook .

Counting Aussie Animals in my Backyard – Bronwyn Houston

Magabala Books

· *Author:*Bronwyn Houston

· *Illustrator:*Bronwyn Houston

· *Published:*Oct 2014

· *Size:*205×245 (portrait)

· *Pages:*28

· *ISBN:*9781922142542

· *Ages:*Pre-primary

· *Format:*Hardback

RRP $19.95

I have been waiting till Picture Book month to post the review for this
wonderful new counting book. It has already established itself as a
favourite on our shelves for bedtime. Explore a lush tropical setting
filled with vivid colours and familiar Australian birds and animals, while
practising simple counting. From the gorgeous endpapers to the simple text,
from the stunning artwork to the classy design, this is a real treasure.

Bronwyn Houston lives in Broome and is descended from the Nyiyaparil and
Yindijibarndi people of the Pilbara region. She has previously collaborated
on three other books but this is her first entirely solo effort – and one
would truly hope not the last! Bronwyn draws on her environment for
inspiration and that has truly transferred into this ‘richly textured’ new
book.

From toddlers and up this is not ‘just another counting book’ but a feast
for the eyes of little animal lovers everywhere.

Small has chosen her favourite page to share with you.

Comprehensive teaching notes and links to the AC can be found here

.

Cheers

Sue Warren

Hi everyone

Below are the responses I received with regards to the comparison of EnhanceTV, TV4Education and Clickview.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Brenda

Phone: 9471 0341

I’d be interested in this information. We use TV4Education and V-Library. The package costs about $1800 per annum. Enhance TV cost $3per student for the basic package. I followed a link on their website for a free trial and they rang me back within 15mins.

****************************************************

We’re using Enhance Direct service at the moment and we’ve used both ClickView and TV4Education before. Happy to share some experiences of using them.

****************************************************
I too would be interested in the comparison. We have Clickview here and it is quite good but I think fairly labour intensive in that someone needs to edit out the ads on the TV programs we record (and we record plenty) then put them into folders etc. We don’t actually subscribe to the educational video library component.
The new Austn Curr. enhanced feature looks good but no doubt costs (haven’t inquired).
I do like the look of the Enhance TV resource and I don’t think it’s labour intensive but it does cost more than Clickview.

****************************************************
we have both Clickview and TV4Education and sometimes purchase from Enhance but have not subscribed to their new thing.

****************************************************
We have had clickview for years now and are running a trial of enhance with a view to a years subscription. They are different products hard to compare.

****************************************************
We have used all three in the past and much prefer Enhance TV Direct.

****************************************************
DVC is the closest I’ve seen to comparing with Clickview (cheaper, no supplied content, own it, easier to export to other formats etc) – we purchase from EnhanceTV to download to DVC.

Greetings all,

I received some very sad news the other that our wonderful Teacher Librarian will be retiring and I have a feeling that she will be replaced with a non-teaching ESO Librarian.

Can you please contact me if you are a ESO Library manager as I would like to ask a couple of questions about supervision and role descriptions etc.

As a acting ESO library manager I am keen to have as much information to take to the principal as possible.

If you like email me in confidence at cc@camhigh.vic.edu.au with your contact details and a good contact time, I can call you.

Kind regards

Hi Everyone

Films, documentaries and drama programs tied to lessons are a great way to engage students. As the year winds down, why not consider giving EnhanceTV Direct a trial run?

The EnhanceTV Direct library now has 21,426 educational programs curated from broadcast TV. It’s very quick and easy to use, and provides a safe environment for students.

By taking up the trial now, your school will have free access until end of Feb 2015. This also means your school’s staff can check out our library at their leisure over the holidays. There’s no obligation to take up the full subscription – but we hope you will find it cost effective. Primary Schools please note: we now also offer EnhanceTV Direct ***JUNIOR***.

Just visit our website http://www.enhancetv.com.au/direct/index.php , speak to one of the team (02) 9904 0009 or email us etvdirect@enhancetv.com.au.

Yours sincerely,

Kerry Franta, Marketing Manager

Hi everyone, as we are coming up to the end of the school year I just
wanted to ask generally about what happens at your school library when a
library staff member (particularly a teacher-librarian) moves on.

I moved schools last year. Much to my surprise I discovered my old school
library had removed my name from all the ‘LibGuides’ I had developed and
produced by myself in my time at the school. There was a considerable
number. Another person’s name was placed against them with no discernable
changes made to what was my product.

I discovered this as I was preparing to show my new Admin what could be
achieved with the ‘LibGuides’. I could no longer show them any guides which
had my name attached.

It got me thinking about my own actions as a long time Library HOD. I had
always only removed a person’s name from documentation or a project if
there was a total revision or it was superseded. Otherwise their name
stayed on their ‘product’ if we still used it, even if they were no longer
at our school. This included material that was internal to the library or
published online – such as ‘LibGuides’.

So what do you do? What are the professional ethics involved when a staff
member leaves? I would be interested in your thoughts.

Chris

Good afternoon. Our school is looking in to PYP next year and I would like to be pro-active on this and get out next year and visit some PYP school libraries and chat to the teacher/librarians there, to find out how changing to PYP affects the role of the library. Was wondering if there were any schools that would be happy to host a visit from me and my Library tech. to talk PYP? We have a list of PYP schools in Melbourne but don’t know which ones have libraries staffed by t/l’s and technicians. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have encountered this problem with LibGuides and I don’t think there is a way around it. When a staff member leaves, the school does need to remove their access to LibGuides but in doing so there is no option to retain that person’s name against any LibGuides they may have prepared. Instead you are prompted to move them to an existing person’s name. We also had the problem when a staff member went on a long leave and we had to reinstate them as we found we needed to remove them and then add them again, with the same result regarding ownership of guides.

If someone else has found a way around this problem, I’d love to hear it though

Hi Everyone

I am the Teacher Librarian at a Year 9 campus and I am wondering if there
are any other colleagues undertaking this same role? I would love to hear
from you!

Thank you
