A recent article in the New York Times highlights ways that libraries are providing access to e-books and digital audio books for their patrons. E-books are certainly gaining in popularity at my institution. Most students actually seemed relieved when a book is online because that means they won’t have to brave the stacks at a large university library!
Art in School and Public Libraries
Posted: February 7, 2008 Filed under: ALA, NEH, Opportunities: Grants, Public Libraries, School Libraries Comments OffPicturing America℠ is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), in cooperation with the American Library Association (ALA). The goal of Picturing America℠ is to enhance the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture by bringing some of America’s greatest works of art into school classrooms and public libraries.
Picturing America℠ will provide K-12 schools and public libraries with 40 images of American art, an illustrated teachers resource book, and a web site containing additional information including lesson plans. Educators and librarians are invited to apply online from January 7 through April 15, 2008.
