Spring 2009 Events: We have released our 2009 Schedule of events. We hope you’ll incorporate these into your spring classes where appropriate.
Citing Sources in Speeches: A new online video to help students cite sources in presentations. This is aimed at COM 103 courses, but could also be useful for other classes.
This is something new that I am trying. For the last 6 or 7 years, I’ve sent around a weekly email containing useful Web sites and library notes. I’ve decided to add these notes to this blog and add some highlights via video.
I have put together this short tutorial about taking an RSS feed and using our Feed2JS feed parser and incorporating it into BlackBoard version 8. You can learn more about our Feed Parser here: Feed Parser help page.
A few weeks ago, Larry and I did a presentation at the 2008 Computers in Libraries conference about our Google Maps/Second Life project. We have put our slides on slideshare.
We are just finishing up our Malcolm X Map Project. This is a pretty cool way to distribute student work. If you are a second life resident, you can also visit our SL MX Exhibit.
I have been trying out Netvibes new public aggregator page, here: MVCC Netvibes Aggregator Page. This could be a way to create a resource to keep people in touch with differenct info resources and information created on campus.
