Topic for August: Finding Children’s Literature

Are you looking for the best picture books to teach about a special topic for your class? Perhaps you already have a good book and want to find another on a similar theme? Or maybe you’re just looking for a good kid’s book to read and want to find the latest award-winning title?

If you answered “YES” to any one of the questions above, then you will want to sign-up for August’s workshop on how to find children’s and young adults’ literature at the Education Library. Attendees of this workshop will learn strategies on how to search for children’s and young adults’ books by subject, grade, and award.

Sign-up sheets are located at the circulation desk at the Education Library. For more information, please contact Mark Mueller at mmueller@tyndale.ca or at Extension 2227.

The two following online resources are now available to the Tyndale library user community.

STAO Online Resource Database

The Science Teachers’ Association of Ontario’s (STAO) online resource database is now available to the Tyndale library user community. This extensive digital collection contains well over 1,000 lesson plans and lesson planning resources (i.e. videos, websites, etc.) that could be used to teach one any topic in science in the Ontario classroom. This online library also contains back issues of the STAO’s online publications Crucible and Elements.

This Facts-on-File database contains articles that explore and provide a thorough introduction the world’s major religions and spiritual traditions and their impact on society and culture. This database also contains videos, images, and downloadable chronologies that outline that history of these major world religions. World Religions Online also contains a calendar of the significant holidays and feasts for the religious and spiritual traditions that it covers.

Our Netlibrary eBooks have migrated to Ebscohost. They will now be known as eBooks from Ebsco. The eBook collection is one of several databases that are available through the Ebscohost service. Tyndale has purchased hundreds of eBooks particularly in the subject areas of religion, education and business. When you go to the site you can click on the “ebooks” link in the top bar you can see books recently added and browse by subject area.

Links to Netlibrary eBooks should automatically link to the new platform. If you have problems, let us know.

Electrical work on Thursday July 14 may affect the main library lower level. This means that some books from the electronic shelving may not be available that day. The library will remain open regular hours on Thursday and the upper level should not be affected.
