SCHOOL-LIBRARIES.NET: MAY 2010 Report

In April we added an additional twenty-seven libraries to our
database., bringing our total for the year up to 195 libraries.  Of
course we also found new links for dead links and sadly, deleted a
number of libraries for which we could not locate.  We also wish to
thank those who reported dead links, but special thanks go  those who
not only reported dead links but also sent along the new link,  Report
dead links by using our form:\

This month we added another country to our database, Thailand.

Web Sites of the Month

We were blown away by the quality of the new websites this month.  The
nine star websites are stellar.  They each are very different and
illustrate challenging ways to involve students and faculty.
Congratulations to one and all.

St John's Preparatory School, Johannesburg, South Africa, is
experimenting in a number of areas, including eliminating the use of
