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
