I know many of you visit my weblog, The Virtual Acquisition Shelf and News Desk (http://resourceshelf.freepint.com ) , at least once a week. THanks. However, as others of you know I'm posting new material throughout the week. Today, two items that I think are worthy of inclusion on the list. 1) Private Schools (K-12)--United States Source: National Center for Education Statistics New Database: Private School Search http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/ >From the site, "This new and powerful school search makes finding information for private schools fast and easy. Available information includes: type of school, affiliation, association membership, students by grade, race/ethnicity, student/teacher ratio." The database was generated from responses, some 29,939 schools, to the 1999-2000 Private School Universe Survey (PSS). 2) The Web as A Research Tool Source: The Washington Post "Point. Click. Think?" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9729-2002Jul15.html A discussion of the problems and issues that result when Net resources (the free stuff) are the only ones used by students when doing research. From the article, "Welcome to the world of Net thinking, a form of reasoning that characterizes many students who are growing up with the Internet as their primary, and in some cases, sole source of research. Ask teachers and they'll tell you: Among all the influences that shape young thinking skills, computer technology is the biggest one." Our friend and editor of EXLibris, Marylaine Block, is quoted several times throughout the article. She says, "The Internet makes it ungodly easy now for people who wish to be lazy." It's also great to read that the author included this quote from Marylaine, "The full texts of articles from most academic journals, for example, are not online nor are most current books. Because of copyright laws, a lot of information may never make it to the Net, Block says, which is why she and other librarians worry about lawmakers who slash library budgets or propose eliminating libraries altogether, saying, "Why do we need them? Everything's on the Internet." Kudos Marylaine for getting these thoughts into the mainstream press. Finally, it would have been useful if the author would have included a sentence or two about the availability of fee-based resources made available to the general public by public libraries. Yesterday, was also a busy day on the weblog, please stop by. cheers, gary -- Gary D.
