Behind the Best Semester Ever

I'm going to use http://bestsemester.blogspot.com as the "public" face of this project. It makes more sense for the "behind the scenes to be here.

Ideas from talking with student (new student worker) 8/19:

  • need to do more marketing of library sources (no one knows what the library can do for them)
  • need to encourage more (something - need to make longer notes)
  • probably should do a "webtool of the week" to keep up interest in the blog (which will also have research tips)
  • let students know that there may be something "better than google".
  • students don't even know that our paid-for library databases exist
  • let them know that DBs can be used from home
  • the BCTC webpage is well-read - use that to spread the word
  • if you send an email, the subject needs to be VERY catchy
  • didn't know BCTC facebook existed
  • Blackboard (outside resources) tab is unknown (maybe not a completely bad thing, since it is generic for all of KCTCS)
  • some students ARE already using diigo.com
