4 Library Blogs; 2007 to 2017

Last Blog Post!

We’ve published four blogs since 2007 at Palm Beach State College Library-Lake Worth campus!  These posts covered instructional events, lib guides, library history, college history & archives, campus art, book reviews, news & events and more! 

We shared all the ups and downs of implementing our iPads, Kindles, Nooks & eDevices in the early years of the new technology at that time, [2009]. We also covered the numerous Professional Teaching & Learning Center's workshops and presentations in our Gallery. 

The variety of library blogs helped students, faculty and staff become familiar with the Library Learning Resource Center, LLRC.  Students could monitor activities and events online and have the opportunity to attend these events. They would let us know their thoughts about various activities and they also shared their ideas with us.

Our Librarian/Associate Professors and Library Technicians have been posting news and other useful information on our other library Social Media sites including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This is a great way to keep in touch with all library related information.

Florida Library Snapshot Day at Palm Beach State

January 30, several of our staff carried cameras and smart phones all day to take pictures of students, faculty and staff using our library.

 

What happens in one day in our library?

See below!

 

Results from FLA, (Florida Library Association), will be presented to the Florida Legislature on Library Day, today, March 12th, in Tallahassee.   FLA will post all the Library Snapshot Day pictures from over 500 participating libraries around Florida.

It's very interesting to read the statistics from the last Florida Library Snapshot Day, November 2, 2011. 
http://www.flalib.org/snapshot_day

  On a single day over a quarter of a million patrons used Florida's libraries.  Let's see what January 30th, 2013 statistics will be like when posted mid-March by FLA. When available, we will post that new link here in our blog.
