On April 9, a new database went online that helps users locate Christian education resources housed in the Centennial Library’s Curriculum Materials Center. There are over 700 items in the Christian Education Resources Database, which focuses on such resources as children's and youth Bibles, activity and idea books, Christian children's books, children's devotional books, and much more. Users may limit their searches to eleven specific publishers if desired. All new Christian education resources will be added to the database as they arrive in the CMC. Thanks go to Eric Svendsen and Kyle Linden of Computer Services for their work on this project.Visiting Author

Websites of the Month
Copyright law and how it affects classroom teachers can be very confusing! The Center for Social Media at the American University has developed "The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education" which contains much useful, easy-to-understand information on this important topic. Thanks go to Dr. Gruber for sharing this valuable resource.
The Glencoe Literature Library offers a collection of study guides in PDF format for a number of (mostly classic) young adult novels, including such titles as Bridge to Terabithia, Across Five Aprils, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Hatchet, and many, many more. Thanks go to Linda Divan, Centennial Library Systems Coordinator, for finding this resource.
