[Tasl] Learn & Discover - Week 4 Latest scoop!

[Batchelor]

Hello everyone!  

Just as many other school librarians across the state, you may have been knee-deep in TCAP, Gateway, or ACT exams the past few weeks.  We understand, but it's Week 4 of Learn & Discover and never too late to join and/or catch up on the fun!  

This week's topic is "All Things Tennessee."  Well, that's not really the title, but we are exploring digital resources available in (and pertaining to) our fair state.  This week's discussion facilitator is Robbi DePeri of Vanderbilt University.  

Robbi writes:

There are a number digital resources that showcase the historical and current highlights of the great state of Tennessee.  There are great tools that can help you:
  a.. Access archives from Tennessee newspapers or even find out specific news just about Tennessee libraries. 
  b.. Learn about Tennessee history from a fantastic collection of Tennessee digital archives 
  c.. Contribute to Tennessee scholarship by participating in Volunteer Voices! 
So, hop on over to the Ning and prowl around!

NEWSFLASH!

In addition to sharing this week's topic, I have some exciting news from Wendy Cornelisen, Project Coordinator!  

There are prizes for the first 100 people who finish round one, and prizes for round 2, and if you do BOTH round 1 (either year) and round 2, there will be a special drawing for a special prize!


If you've been absent for a bit, we miss you!  If you never got around to joining, we need you!

I'll be waiting for you there!
