Cold Springs School Library Blog

I linked to the Cold Springs School Library Blog, because I thought this was a great model for an elementary school library.  The image is very clear and clean, and it appears easy to navigate.  I really liked the way younger students are involved in the blogging process.  In elementary schools, it is often difficult to to manage a technology like this since students are often too young to help.  

The right side book shelf  shows covers of various books and these links to a site named "Shelfari."   When clicking on the book cover more information related to the showcased book is shown.  It may be a book review or it may be someone's opinion.

  2. "Shelfari" is definitely an interesting tool. I liked the fact that users could add their own (very honest!) comments on each book entry. I also liked the way the library used videos and blog posts to advertise events. It seems like a lot of patrons would find these tools useful!
