We will demonstrate areas within Utah's Online Library that will help with K12 homework topics and core skills development using Explora and Learning Express Library. All disciplines and grades will be covered. Bring your questions and search topics and join our learning session.
This presentation will discuss findings from a two-phase IMLS-funded research project: first by closely examining the work practices of three rural school librarians; then, the researchers, in partnership with the participating librarians, used their findings about the librarians’ work to develop a plan to create and implement STEM-oriented makerspaces within these libraries.
