I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
Sincerely,

We do use AR but we are not on the web version. I have the data from the students at the intermediate. That reminds me, I'll need to get it from the school across town as well because all of the boundary lines have been re-drawn this year.
You found our old website. It is still up but here is the link to the new one:

About del.icio.us, I guess its the tagging thing that confuses me. I used to use IKeepBookmarks.net for my always available bookmarks. Now I'm using Google Bookmarks. I really haven't had to find them "on the fly" but I guess I would have to log into Google to get them. I'm using the Google toolbar here at home (per husband's request) so they are always available here.
Good luck with the open house already. I think we have a few days before we have to deal with that! Our teachers have had to spend 2 full days sitting in in-service sessions. Luckliy, the librarians got out of it this year!
Good luck.

Is that you? I didn't see a library link on the page though.
Hosting vendor displays is a great idea. Nice to be in touch with the other district librarians at the beginning of the year. And helping teachers create their own webpages is an excellent way to hook them into the library. I'm hoping your years is the best so far. Keep in touch.
Oh, del.icio.us allows you to get to your bookmarks from both school and home. Or say, you are in a teacher's classroom and they want to see something you've discovered, but you don't remember how to get there. You open del.icio.us and your bookmarks are all there. I had trouble figuring it out when I took an online class this summer. It was my introduction to "tagging" which was difficult for me to grasp, but once I got it, and understood the beauty of del.icio.us, I can see lots of value in it.
I've been real busy helping to set up our new web-based AR. Does your school use accelerated reader? When do your students start? Ours come Aug. 27th, but tomorrow night is the 6th grade orientation and we check out textbooks that night. Then the seventh and eighth graders get theirs the first two days of school. We take one day to clear away the textbooks and then open the library on Thursday. I'm ready for another fun year.
Keep in touch. I'd like to hear more about the voice thing you are learning. And how you will use it.
I learned about wikkis and del.icio.us this summer, so i started a librarians' wikki for the five librarians in our district to work together to plan our trip to our state conference in November and then hopefully use it to plan our big Board Presentation the second semester. I also shared del.icio.us with our computer lab teacher. She was impressed with its potential and appreciated being introduced to something new that can make her professional work easier and more efficient. So I feel really good about the beginning of the year.
I hope you are feeling positive, too, and that you reach out to a department or some colleagues who haven't been avid library users before. Let me know how it's going.
