The handouts are available to everyone! Additionally, please note that it is not necessary to register for a session to view the recordings that will be made available at a later date in the POWER Library - For Librarians.

School Libraries + e-resources: Examining the How, When, Where, and Why for POWER Library e-resources Tools in the K-12 Classroom (1.5 hours CE/ACT 48 credits)

October 28, 2021  9:30am-11:00am
This session is full.

Most institutions link to the "List all" or "Help me choose" lists. It is also possible to link directly to a specific e-resource such as BookFLIX, Gale In Context Middle School, etc. Linking directly to an e-resource can support assignments, and is great for highlighting an e-resource on your website, blog, learning platforms, social media, LibGuide, etc. 

For example, during National Poetry Month you might want to highlight a literature resource such as LitFinder, or perhaps to support an assignment on the environment, sustainability, etc., you might link directly to the Environmental Studies e-resource.

An icon for every e-resource is available to use too!

Taking a look at your usage statistics once a month is a good way to spot potential problems. For instance, if you forgot to tell us about an IP change there would be an unusual increase in remote usage and a drop in in-library usage. Working together we can usually figure out the source of a problem and fix it.

POWER Library participants can have their e-resource usage statistics sent to them monthly. To set up email reports, choose Profile on the side navigation bar in the Current Statistics module and then click the Edit Profile button. Choose the Yes button that appears under Email Monthly Reports.

Links to the usage statistics modules and both video and PDF documentation are available in the POWER Library For Librarians.
