ALA|AASL Resource Guides for School Library Media
Program Development
Shortened Link
“These web-based guides comprise a working bibliography of resources
gathered by AASL staff and members to assist us in answering the many
requests for information about school libraries that we receive
throughout the year.” The newly redesigned ALA website has some very
long URLs - I have had to shorten this one or the page would not fit on
the screen.

SBC Pacific Bell Filamentality 2.0
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/
"Filamentality
is a fill-in-the-blank interactive Web site that guides you through
picking a topic, searching the Web, gathering good Internet sites, and
turning Web resources into learning activities." So they say and so
it is - check this out as it is especially useful for those of us who do
not have the ability or opportunity to develop pages for our own websites.

Fantastic site on the use of technology as a means of communication and
what literacy should mean in the 21st century.

exists?
