Primary Research Group has published Library Use of LibGuides, ISBN 978-157440-257-5

The study explores how many LibGuides libraries are making, the rate of growth in Lib Guide creation, and how extensively LibGuides are used.  The report also covers the estimated time it takes to create a LibGuide and its impact on library productivity.  The study furnishes insights on the number of librarians in an organization who use LibGuides, the support that they receive, and the marketing of LibGuides to faculty and students, among many other issues.  The study also points out the most admired LibGuides, the most used, and gives hard data on the number of LibGuides from institutions other than their own that libraries are using.  The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how many libraries are using LibGuides as their library website? What are library plans for LibGuides in the future? Have libraries considered alternatives to LibGuides? How satisfied are libraries with LibGuides? What kinds of LibGuides are libraries developing and how are they encour!

 aging students and faculty to use them?

Just a few of the study’s main findings are that:

•       The growth rate over the past year in the stock of LibGuides for the private colleges in the sample was an astounding 63%.

•       College libraries with a budget in excess of $3 million maintained a mean of 109 LibGuides.

•       42.11% of the libraries sampled have one or more individuals whose primary job it is to create LibGuides or other kinds of research guides.

•       Only 3.51% of the libraries sampled have measured or studied how much staff time it takes to develop a typical LibGuide.

•       31.58% of the libraries offer courses, seminars, or otherwise provide formal training in use of LibGuides to library staff.

A coisa promete ser gira! Quem me dera que os meus netos tivessem professores assim.

Quanto custará uma casa em Leça? Haverá empregos por lá?

Uma escola assim vale a pena a deslocação.

"A história de aprendizagem que irá ser abordada no ciclo 4[do projeto iTEC - Innovative Technologies for anEngaging Classroom] tem como tema "Contar uma história". 

Neste ciclo pretende-se que os alunos construam uma pequena história em vídeo aliciante que relacione um fenómeno científico com uma experiência pessoal e que não ultrapasse 5 minutos."

The Best Resources Documenting The Effectiveness of Free Voluntary Reading | Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day…

Ler por querer, e por prazer - como consegui-lo de todos os alunos?
Dicas de um dos meus recursos preferidos, que tem bibliografia selecionada e tudo, embora seja provocatório: Stephen Krashen 81 Generalizations about Free Voluntary Reading 

GUIDELINES for SSR (Sustained Silent Reading):

The following suggestions are based on the generalizations presented above as well as on the suggestions of teachers. 

1. Do a little each day, not a lot once a week (distributed, not massed) *

2. Less is more; do less than you think they can handle; if you think they can sit and read for 15 minutes, do ten minutes.*

3. Make sure plenty of books and other reading material are available.

4. Comic books are ok.

5. Magazines are ok.

6. Graded readers, books written for language students, are ok.

7. Let students select their own reading material (SY Lee 2007)

8. Impose minimum censorship on what is read* (for discussion, see Trelease, 2004)

9. It is ok for readers to read “easy” books (below their “level”) (Krashen, 2005b).

10. It is ok for readers to read “hard” (books above their “level”) (Krashen, 2005b).

11. Students don’t have to finish every book they start to read.*

12. Sustained silent reading is not for beginners. Beginners need other kinds of comprehensible text.  It also will not help advanced readers who have already established a reading habit (Krashen, 2001a).

13. Supplement SSR with activities that serve to make reading more comprehensible and interesting (e.g. read alouds, trips to the library, discussion of literature). 

14. Don’t use rewards for reading, don’t test students on what is read, do not require book reports. Use zero or minimum accountability. When the conditions are right (compelling reading material available, and enough reading competence) direct encouragement can work. 

15. How about some food and drink? Let’s trying eating and reading in the school library.* (Trelease and Krashen, 1996)

Plano Nacional de Leitura: discursos & práticas from BibliotecAtiva

Que saudades do Eduardo Prado Coelho e da sua lucidez. Esta apresentação, do Filipe Leal (BM Oeiras), é muito estimulante. A seleção de afirmações de diversos autores faz-nos refletir, mesmo se, como eum não pudemos assistir ao vivo.
