Donna Zecha, the Hopkinton Middle High School Librarian, and I presented a workshop "Create and Collaborate with LibGuides" at the annual New Hampshire School Library Media Association Conference. Many college and university libraries use LibGuides as pathfinders to information databases and web resources. Donna has developed a LibGuide site for the high school, and I have started transitioning information from my Library Wiki for the elementary schools, to LibGuides so that we will have a district wide portal to information and homework help.
We had a chance to hear some authors speak, heard reviews and got to preview many exciting new books, learned about many new tech gadgets, etc. It is always valuable to have a chance to talk to other librarians across the state and exchange ideas.
As a side note, the conference was held at the Mountain View Grand Hotel in Whitefield, NH. I had not heard of it before - if you ever get a chance to go for a special occasion, don't pass it up! It one of New Hampshire's gems - a beautiful hotel overlooking the White Mountains with fabulous food!
