Interesting

I spent sometime thinking about what I had learnt all these weeks of traineeship. I am feeling much confident about using Summon-different search strategies, limiters, dropping into a folder and emailing/saving  according to different referencing styles,etc. Also navigating through different libguides is so important at you are guided systemetically finding information.

I had been working on libguide since the beginning of this phase and discovered the profile boxes had dropped from the right hand corner. I tried myself moving  it going to edit/resixe but no avail. Sought help from IT  as well as colleagues but stll could not figure out. Finally decided to create a new one, thanks Rachel for showing how to reuse the old box. I could reuse the same libguide by choosing re use existing one, and it was really very quick. And I discovered  the code that I put in had the hanging red bottom ...so now i have discovered the problem...need to fix it..
I also did search on latest publications for resources related to research, and discovered summon finds the libguides too! So if we want a particular libguide we can put it in summun- for example "research methods", "tep", "law guide" and lo it finds the libguide for you!

Afternoon I had a brief introduction on Collaborate Classroom.

I went to a meeting with the school of education and was very happy to withness Michelle Turner being awarded for all her hard work helping  Cambodian students.
So, librarianship is not just about library but reaching out to clients who come from different background. It also involves lots of work related to teaching and learning- lesson plan, presentation, etc.
