Global Statistics for our blog.
Just sharing an update on the use that our Library Blog appears to be getting! 168 pageviews from Russia - and that is just this week! I'm glad it's being used!

Hour of Code
The Hour of Code has come and gone this year with barely a notice - at least here anyway. But have a look at the link below. It doesn't have to be run during the suggested time frame and maybe it is something that could be looked at for next year?

In the three years it has been running it has become a global movement reaching tens of millions of students and spanning 180 countries. As most of the jobs that will be available in the future are not even dreamed of now, just having the confidence to step into the arena will be a big part of gaining work.
All of us are literally surrounded by gadgets, devices, gaming, social media and so the list continues. The Hour of Code is a creative activity that works to provide students with an opportunity to be more than an onlooker. It takes some of the mystery out of digital tech and offers students a world of resources that they can revisit and explore at any time they like.
What can you learn in just an hour? You won't become an expert computer programmer in an hour - but you will have fun, learn to have a go - and realising that you CAN do this is a big part of it.

New LMS is Go Live!
Well, finally the day is here. Our new Library Management system in the Northern Territory is actually Go Live in the schools.
I have made my first student loan using the system and all worked as it should. (Phew!) We have a little bit of a work-around at the moment due to some student data - but it's not making much of a difference.
Now comes the real learning - as this becomes the everyday system. It's a little sad after 20 years of using Virtua - but this system more aptly reflects the global aspect of libraries in today's world.
