Greetings from Your libraryChannel

Greetings All!

You are reading our first library blog, called Library Violets. It will be used as a communication vehicle between the library and the faculty as well as with our students.

Many have found blogging to be effective and widely used among Net Generation participants -- you are in this group if you were born since 1990 (NOTE: we are all contributors to blogging, wikis, and podcasting; our readers will have the opportunity to respond to these messages, to add and write their own ideas and questions).

Now, the most important part of this blogging will be embedded into our own podcasting library services that we will start this Fall (2006) for various classes; for example, one will be designed for our very first orientation sessions for the seventh grade students; another will be written for other individual classes in collaboration with the faculty. In addition, the library will have our own podcasting studio so that the students will be able to create contents with our assistance.

To learn more about blogging, podcasting, wikis, and more, go to PODCAST YOUR HEART OUT.

Do write back and let me know what you think,

Zorana
