Internet: Website Search

Using http://www.google.com/ I conducted a search using the phrase "school library 2.0". When the initial search resulted in over two million hits, I modified my strategy by using Google's advanced search feature to restrict the search to only .edu, .gov, and .org sites. Within a few hits I clicked on http://www.ilovelibraries.org/.

The website is actually sponsored by the American Library Association, and while there was information on Library 2.0 concepts, the site offers much more. The site includes recent news of librarianship, book lists and reviews, an "Ask the Librarian" feature, and other links.

The site is relevant to my topic because it includes information that will be helpful to me in my pursuit of earning my Texas school librarian certificate and being an effective school librarian.
