Good morning and Happy Friday!
The blog has a new update, as Libguides is updating its features (yay!). All past blog posts are available and searchable in the right sidebar. I have also updated the blog feed on the library services site to make past posts easier to locate.
*To view a scrolling list of posts, click on the breadcrumb link above this blog title, The Blog.
Updated Library Directory
The updated directory is available in two versions from the following link and on the LibGuide. Please update Cristy throughout the year with any changes or updates.
Ebsco Log In Page
From school, Ebsco products should automatically log in to the database. For home use, Ebsco should prompt a user to the shared username and password. I am working with Ebsco to ensure that this is the case.
Noodletools
Secondary schools using NT can provide students with access in two ways.
1. Go to Noodletools.com - click the Classlink button (bottom of the log-in screen).
2. Go to Classlink - go to + button(top toolbar) - search for Noodletools. Click Add.
*I am working with the Digital Management Team to have it automatically added to Classlink.
If you are just getting started in Noodletools, here is an overview document I created a couple of years ago at West. Click here for the template link to edit and make your own.

Elementary: We will be discussing Noodletools at our next training in October. If you want to take a look at Noodletools - optional, you can add it to Classlink and then click to app icon to automatically log in. (Classlink > Go to + button (top toolbar) > Search for Noodletools > Click Add button)
Library Para Training
This week, Cristy and Becca met with library paras via Teams. Paras had three meeting times to choose. If you were unable to make the training, Cristy will send out the recording and additional materials next week.
