[Askalibrarianqa] Ready to Vote

[Pat Barbier]

Hi Everyone,

    I think we are ready to vote now on our Exemplary Chats. Let's try
and have votes in by Friday, April 27. If that is too difficult, we'll
shoot for Monday April 30 late in the day.

 

    I have not had time to work on my biography, but I hope some of you
have started. For me, I think, I would prefer a photo and not an avatar.
I have a photo of myself on my Angel courses.  My hope is that I look
non-threatening so the students feel comfortable calling or emailing me!
Avatars are fine, but I really am not that clever to think of one. I
only want my photo on the page for the QA Workgroup and not in the Chat
box. Let's trade biographies among ourselves when they are done. We did
this earlier and it was very helpful to know what areas of interest each
QA member had.

 

   I'm sorry to rattle on about the "Google" issue, but perhaps in
training, it could be emphasized that students who are using Google or
any patrons can be shown how to narrow into .edu websites for research
material or .gov websites when looking for statistical material. Diana
did an excellent workshop here at SPC on how to maximize results using
Google. 

 

   Our LIS2004 class Introduction to Internet Research concentrates a
lot on teaching students to "mine the Internet" for credible sources.
It really is an art.

 

   Again, for chats where you think the librarian needs guidance, please
contact Diana or Jennifer.
