=WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE LIBRARY?=

This week you'll see a change in a couple of our art displays as well as a new display featuring WHSPA students who were in Southern Stars.

The reading lists that have been being worked on over the last few months are being connected to OASIS so that students will be able to use the Enquiry terminals to access suggestions for books that may interest them.....somewhere down the track - perhaps using a wiki....there will be an opportunity for students to discuss books online. My concern is that it will go the way of many other things I've tried in the library - work for me but very little response from anyone, but at least it's a limited amount of work that has to be done to get a wiki up and running. How best to get students to grab the bait?

I'd also like to work further on the Moodle 'Writing a Bibliography' lesson that I starteding some time back. I'm very conscious that it needs to be interactive, and having read the wiki post 'My Brilliant Failure' I'm even more conscious about the 'classroom' approach. There is a time and a place for everything, yes, but we need to keep moving on motivating students, especially with learning information skills which they need for lifetime learning.

CSU students arriving. Time spent looking at cyber bullying with them too.
