Continuing Research...
As I continue to research and follow the I-Search inquiry model, I'm still working through the Finding Information and Using Information phases. I'm beginning to analyze and decide what information I want to use in my final project, from the sources I've already found, but I'm still looking for more useful and current news articles, blogs, related websites, and most recently I've figured out how to access archives from the LM_NET listserv Judy suggested for use. After having some troubles subscribing to the listserv for emails, I seem to have found that I can search for information in the archive website, http://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe, for specific posts on i-Pads in the school library. I have already found an abundance of information that I definitely want to use as I continue the inquiry and include in my final product. One specific post that I found from 2/13, was from a school librarian who just received her first and only i-pad for the school, and was looking for suggestions on how to best utilize it for the students. She received numerous responses and advice that has lead me to discover many more helpful sources of information on the benefits and drawbacks of iPads in the school library media center.

Megan,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you hit a gold mine! I will surely try out this listserv Judy suggested. I have found a great deal of helpful information from Buffy Hamilton's blog on eReaders in her SLMC. The positive and negatives as well as some helpful tips. She truly is a miracle woman! Remember how Joan loved her as a Mover and Shaker in the library world!haha
I knew I had heard her name before! Oh my, that is funny haha! But yes, her blog is awesome, and the articles you posted have been really helpful.
DeleteIt sounds like you have found some great information. Was the listserv easy to use? Jody
