HIT->Best library videos

[Laura Richards <LERich7@AOL.COM>]

Dear netters,

I received 3 responses to my query about library orientation videos and one
was from a Folletts representative.

Here's what I learned:
--------
Be a book buddy is what I like for elementary.
--------
That is a GOOD question, almost like the $64,000 question.
I purchased 2 video's from Media Basics and was EXTREMELY unhappily
dissapointed.  One is--Beyond the Stacks, from Cheshire Meridian
Education--Avoid these like the plague.
The Best I've found is Library Study Skills from Britannica Educational
Corporation.  I just called Britannica, got the education phone number, then
found out the item number and followed our PO process.  This is excellent,
upbeat, uses middle school students as the primary teachers.  I've shown this
to 4-8 grades, though the younger grades do better with it.  It goes through
many different reference resources.  Since I bought this several years ago--it
seems like it was $79 then.

Here are some suggestions (from the Folletts rep):
The Internet Show
What is the Internet and What Can it Do
Internet Searching Skills
Study Skills:  How to use the Library
Organizing Information
Library Systems:  On-Line Catalogs
Information Resources

Video Guide to the Internet
