TL 16.1.4.indd 18 Ontario School Library Association TL Professional Resources Handheld Device; Locating and Downloading Online eBooks; Accessing Websites on Handheld Computers; Writing eBooks and Notes; Circulating eBooks and eAudiobooks; Utilizing and Preparing eAudio; Utilizing and Preparing Podcasts; Locating and Downloading eVideos and Vodcasts; Digital Media Copyright Issues; Incorporating eBooks, eAudio, eVideo, and Podcasts into the Curriculum; and Record Keeping on Handheld Devices. Canadian readers will have to do some supplemental research and reading as the educational standards to which Bell refers are American, as is the copyright law she references. Although it's reasonable to expect that anyone investigating the use of handheld computers in education will be reasonably comfortable with computers, Bell does write for a general audience - readers need not be ICT specialists. Bell certainly presents an interesting alternative to banning personal electronic devices from schools. Handheld Computers is highly recommended reading for anyone involved in integrating handheld computing devices into schools and school libraries. 101+ Great Ideas for Teen Library Web Sites Miranda Doyle 2007 9781555705930 101+ Great Ideas for Teen Library Web Sites is an excellent guide to creating school and public library websites teens will actually use. Although Doyle does suggest some programs and shortcuts, she doesn't focus on the technical aspects of website creation - that is, this isn't a guide to HTML or website creation software. Instead, she focuses on design and content. 101+ Great Ideas is divided into six parts: Essential Website Know-How; Communication; Information; Imagination, Inventiveness, and Ingenuity; Tech Companion Pages; and Help Pages: 101+ Great Ideas for Teen Library Websites. Doyle covers the gamut, from a basic website that provides static information about the library to an interactive website that makes use of a variety of Web 2.0 tools. Any teacher-librarian involved in the development of a school library website will fi nd ideas and inspiration in these pages even though, realistically, many of Doyle's ideas will probably be unrealistic in school settings. An essential purchase for district professional collections. If easy access to a district collection is diffi cult, then teacher-librarians interested in website development should consider buying school copies. Get Connected: Tech Programs for Teens RoseMary Honnold 2007 9781555706135 Get Connected: Tech Programs for Teens provides lots of interesting - and fi eld-tested - ideas for tech-themed library programs. Part I covers recreational programs, including gaming, creating an interactive Internet presence, audiobooks and music, art and fi lm, and reading. Part II covers educational programs, including resource instruction (e.g. databases), technology instruction e.g. social networking), and special audiences (e.g. ESL students). Part III deals with programs for Teen Advisory Groups. Honnold also includes several appendices with useful information. Although a few school libraries are used as examples, Get Connected is focused on public library programming. Th ese programs are probably not practical in a school setting, although teacher-librarians might well be able to adapt some of the ideas. Teacher- librarians in shared school/public libraries will fi nd lots of ideas here for partnerships with their public library colleagues. Because Get Connected is so public-library oriented, interested teacher-librarians might want to try borrowing copies from their local public library systems rather than purchasing copies. Optional purchase for district professional collections. Library 2.0 and Beyond: Innovative Technologies and Tomorrow's User Nancy Courtney, ed. 2007 9781591585374 Library 2.0 and Beyond is a collection of articles about the role Web 2.0 tools can play in libraries. Topics covered include blogs and wikis, social networking and tagging technologies, folksonomies, podcasting, gaming, digital storytelling, Web 2.0 catalogues, and virtual reality libraries. Most of the contributors are academic librarians. Th e rest are public librarians and library consultants. None of the contributors are school librarians. As a result, while Library 2.0 and Beyond is fascinating reading, it's not really applicable to school libraries. On the other hand, if a school board is actually willing to give teacher- librarians the freedom to explore the use of Web 2.0 tools, then this book would be highly recommended reading for that group. Optional purchase for district professional collections.
