Issues of interest to school librarians, media specialists, teachers and administrators.
Welcome to the Go SLMS Go! Blog
Greetings one and all! It is with great pride and humility that I have begun to write for our profession and to the many gifted, talented and hard working professional school library media specialists. I have recently moved out of the trenches and into a more administrative type of position as a school library system coordinator.
I constantly stand in amazement at both the quantity and quality of the work that you are involved in at a school, regional and even national level. If I were putting together a team, of almost any kind to accomplish almost anything--I would want all of you on it.
Please feel free to comment, critique and utilize this resource that is only just out of the mind, off of the paper and onto the web. Remember that this blog is a work in progress. If there is anything you do not see here that you would like more information on, give me a shout.
Cheers,
Chuck

I tried the Kindle and enjoyed its ease of use, size, and easy to read screen. The Kindle2 just came out but the price is prohibitive, in my mind. If the price comes down a fair amount, I think it would be a great alternative to buying books I will only read once, have difficulty reading in the car, etc. They may be helpful to some students as you can see the text better than in books with very small crmaped text. However, I would be concerned about the reader getting damaged.
