Confusion with Infusion

Well, we did get the green light on Library Infusion money, now we just have to spend it all! Shopping, yippee!

It's quite a task! Any suggestions on selections?
(I'm new in the elementary panel.)

Getting Started

Well, I'm a blog virgin - this is my very first BLOG!
I need to get the hang of this.

Well...I'll start by introducing myself and why I started this blog.

I am a teacher librarian in a high school of over 1,000 students. I started this blog to begin communication with other TEACHER LIBRARIANS - to share resources and links - and to share info with STUDENTS - to keep them up to date.

I hope that we can learn together. I have limited knowledge and I joined this medium to LEARN about areas of the internet that the students use all the time.
