Monday Molly Musings - March 1, 2010 - Super Superconference!
Submitted by MzMolly on Sun, 2010-02-28 21:20.Hello all. Sorry I didn't post last week. The combination of my literature review deadline and finishing my OLA presentations (in addition to security issues on this URL) prevented me from posting.
This weekend, I attended the Ontario Library Association's Superconference. It was great. I wrote a summary of the three days for my colleagues but I thought the file you'd be more interested in would be a piece of my presentation, "Twilight and the School Library".
Resource Ontario: Super Conference - booth, presentations, vendors AND New Webiste!

Submitted by derrick.grose on Thu, 2010-02-18 15:18.As a teacher-librarian I am sad and worried. At a time when cuts to school library budgets make it increasingly difficult to access relevant and commercial-free information, I read that the Government of Canada is cutting funding to the Learning Centre of the Library and Archives Canada (See the Ottawa Sun http://www.ottawasun.com/news/columnists/earl_mcrae/2010/01/19/1253...). I am afraid of losing access to valuable tools for promoting student awareness of Canadian heritage and for developing a wide variety of literacy and research skills that are the foundations of academic and professional success. The resources accessed through learning centre programs such as "Lest We Forget" help students to make personal connections to history that lead to meaningful learning.
Monday Molly Musings - February 15, 2010 - Why I Can't Watch the Olympics and Viral Marketing
Submitted by MzMolly on Wed, 2010-02-17 20:54.Latter topic first: one of my "new fave" authors asked her blog readers to post this link - I'm not sure if it will work, but here goes:
In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
Monday Molly Musings - February 8, 2010 - A "Living Entity"
Submitted by MzMolly on Tue, 2010-02-09 00:14.Oh joy - it's report card writing time. I'm busy reading posts to our intermediate division wiki and when I need to step away from the screen, I pick up my pleasure reading: Nalini Singh's "Blaze of Memory". What struck me is that Singh's conception of the NetMind as a living entity made up of the sum of its parts but also unique to itself is a good description of our school wiki. Individuals are important to creating content and character, but somehow both have acquired a special "personality".

Monday Molly Musings - February 1, 2010 - Finish what you started part 17 (and I did!)
Submitted by MzMolly on Mon, 2010-02-01 22:35.These ones are out of order because I didn't do the formatting correctly when I saved them. Hope I haven't bored you to death with all these files. At least I know if my hard drive on my desktop ever dies, the graphic novel reviews will live on.
Monday Molly Musings - February 1, 2010 - Finish what you started part 16
Submitted by MzMolly on Mon, 2010-02-01 22:32.This looks like the second-last one for the night. Praise be! I swear I do have a life outside of writing reviews! These are X Y and maybe Z titles.
