Blog Post #4 Understanding and Promoting Library Resources

Understanding and Promoting Library Resources 

One of the important aspects of understanding (and loving) our libraries is knowing what resources we have, beyond books! This will help you to be a better help to fellow students, and help you understand the role of a library technician on a better scale. If you are interested, you can even help me teach about these for a particular class! 

For this assignment, you will need to go to the library catalogue, and then to sd36 digital resources, and click on student resources. 

If you need a password, your surreyschools login should work. If not, try username: sd36bc and pw: Surrey@2025. 


Part 1: Databases

Select 4 databases from the SD#36 On Line Digital Resources (only 1 encyclopedia).


For each database:
  • give a description of the database and include the icon/image. Use your own words! 

  • explain situations where each database could be useful to Fraser Heights students. Be specific; explain what grade (s), subjects, and specific projects or assignments it would help with. Post this information to your blog. To help with this, think about various projects you have done (or would have liked to have done) in your classes. 
Specific Assignment: 
  • Put together a lesson to help a Science 11 class with a research project they need to do. What databases would you use? Why? 
Please organize this information in a visually appealing way. 

Part 2: Video/Movie Streaming Databases

Now, select 2 of the video/movie streaming databases. 

Give a description of the database and include the icon.
 
For each database, find a video that would be useful for a Science 10 class and one that would be useful for Social Justice 11. Post them to your blog with the descriptions of the movies and why it would be useful. 

Bonus: Find a movie you would love to watch. Summarize the movie and explain to me why you are interested in it! If possible, think of an academic link to the movie-what course would it work in?

                                       Your Very First Blog Post 1. Find a famous quote about libraries, books, reading, writing or authors. 2. Post the quote with an image that relates to it.  3. Explain who said it and tell us something about them (you might need to do some research on the person). 3. Discuss why you chose that quote, what the author meant by it and what it means to you. Example : Give a brief explanation of who George R. Martin is, explain why you chose the quote, what you think the author meant by it, and what it means to you.  This must all be in your own words, please! No copy and paste, and no ChatGPT! I am interested in what YOU care about, and what YOU think <3  Part 2:  1. Once you are feeling more comfortable with checking books in and out, please write down what you have learned about it-what are the most important things to remember?...

Find a graphic novel (or picture book) that deals with a historical event or specific issue (the Holocaust/Iranian revolution/bullying etc).

A summary of the book. The summary needs to be in your own words and include all of the pertinent information needed for someone who has not read the book to feel they understand it.
