Promote MAGNOLIA in your school or library!

The MAGNOLIA Steering Committee, in consultation with the Selection Committee, has announced that effective immediately, MAGNOLIA school libraries will have access to the World Book Encyclopedia.  This will replace the Grolier online products.  Access will be restricted to K-12 schools and will be available through the MAGNOLIA K-12 web page.  (Note that remote access from home is not yet available; this should be added shortly.) 

World Book maintains a comprehensive resource page for teachers and librarians:  http://www.worldbook.com/training/  Here you'll find tutorials, downloadable training materials, free webinars, and even scavenger hunts that you can use to introduce your students to World Book.

Credo Reference continues to update it's content.  When new materials are added, we'll highlight some of the new reference titles you have available to your library.

CredoReference provides an online ready reference collection that includes hundreds of encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, directories, and other reference resources.  Here are some of the latest titles added to the CredoReference collection:

• 50 Key Concepts in Gender Studies
• Biographical Dictionary of British Economists
• A Financial History of the United States
• Geography of the World
• Key Concepts in Early Childhood Education and Care
• Key Concepts in Feminist Theory and Research
• Key Concepts in Postcolonial Literature
• Key Contemporary Concepts
• Need to Know? Islam
