How as a TL do we identify appropriate resources available?
1. Promotions- from suppliers, catalogues in post or online
2. Recommendations- educational consultants or colleagues
3. Bibliographic Services- online public access catalogues, subject listings, general catalogues, National Bibliographic databases eg: SCIS, Trove, Core Collection lists eg: NSW Dept. Ed, subject lists
4. Reviews eg: in SCAN, Magpies of journals and websites
5. Crowd sourced ie: Goodreads, LibraryThing.
A reviews need to give analysis, comparison, evaluation not just plot summaries. Put resource in context and remember a TL knows their audience.
Criteria - BROAD- Are materials relevant to curriculum?
-GENERAL- Authority- qualified? reputable? accurate info?
- SPECIFIC- relates to particular formats eg: non-fiction, DVD's, periodicals, websites and fiction.
