RA Online video

The team at Libraries Unlimited who are behind the online databse - RA Online - have also put together a series of 'training' videos with Sarah Statz Cords. You can view them online at http://rainfo.lu.com/videos.aspx.

Even though my library doesn't currently have a subscription to this database, I have used it before and I certainly enjoy the blog, plus I really like the product. What I like about this video series is the ideas it gives me, the ones where I think, "mmm ....... maybe we could do something like this?" - not necessarily for using a particular RA tool but for RA generally, an extension of the training we've all done (in-house or with the Rewarding Reading program). An opportunity to take what we've got, what we've learned, the steps so many of us have taken since beginning the State Library's Learning 2.0 program, and move it all up a level - extend ourselves and lead the way for RA and RA training.

It could be exciting! It'd certainly be fun.
