Audio booktalks now available!
Using Chirbit, I have now been posting my booktalks in audio format on the library wiki's booktalk page. You can listen to me read a booktalk vs. reading it yourself. I've also been placing a QR code inside the books with audio booktalks. Scan them with your smartphone's QR reader app, and listen to my booktalk via your phone. If you don't have a smartphone, you can download a QR reader app onto your desktop and scan the code. Hope you enjoy my audio booktalks!
The portals are now open to eBooks!!!
You should find a new icon on your desktop labeled " Library wiki". When you open the icon it will take you to the library catalog page. You can access our Destiny online catalog, but underneath, on a new link, you will see "ebooks. Open that link and you will see two portals. Not only do we have the FollettShelf, we also have a portal to some nonfiction books via a company called Mackin. These have many tools for taking notes, using the index, highlighting and much more. You will need our AEAlogin and password in order to "check out" an ebook in Mackin. In FollettShelf, you will enter your name and student ID number. They are fun and easy! Read online or download them. Become an ebook reader!
