This is one of the best ways librarians and libraries can promote services. At the recent SC Library Association Annual Conference, Salley Davidson, Director of the Marion County Library gave me her new business card. It is AMAZING! Every service they offer is listed on the back along with branch information and web site address. Kudos to Salley! Everyone who works in a library should have a business card. If your library won't buy you some, spend $7.00 on shipping and get your own from www.vistaprint.com!

The folks from EventKeeper were using the SC State Library's web site as an example of how their online calendar integrated with Joomla works at the recent NY Library Association Conference. Very Cool!

SC State Library’s SchoolRooms™ Links Students to Online Educational Resources
The South Carolina State Library announced today that SC students will soon be able to access SchoolRooms ™, a web-based learning portal in their public and school libraries, and even in their homes. SchoolRooms™ is a state-of-the-art Web site designed to help students explore, discover and learn. In addition to providing superior learning resources to students, it also features resources for parents, teachers and librarians. SchoolRooms™ integrates thousands of pages of multimedia content, Web links, electronic resources and powerful search capabilities – all organized around the K-12 curriculum. In subject-oriented “virtual rooms” of hand-selected content, SchoolRooms visitors find the relevant resources and knowledge that meet their needs, whether for writing a research paper, understanding new concepts or delving deeper into an area of special interest. The SchoolRooms™ parent guide is a tool parents can use to help their children learn outside the classroom.
SchoolRooms™ continues the State Library’s commitment to providing information access to all South Carolinians. Partnering with public libraries, the SC Department of Education and SC Educational Television, SchoolRooms™ will constantly be updated with new materials and sources to provide the best resources for student achievement. “We are very excited to make SchoolRooms™ available to all South Carolina citizens. Finding ways to bridge the digital divide between information haves and information have nots is a strategic goals for the State Library.” said David Goble, Director of the South Carolina State Library.
Implementation of SchoolRooms™ will occur during fall 2007 through each public library system. This project is funded by the South Carolina State Library under the Library Services and Technology Act, P.L. 108-81, as amended, through the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
