How to search the NLB Databases

A new video -- created using Explain Everything -- shows you how to search the National Library Board (NLB) of Singapore digital resources.

I've also set up a Google Moderator space where anyone at UWCSEA can ask questions related to the research process.

See  UWCSEA Research Process Questions

So ask away!

And remember, for all your research needs, start at  research.uwcsea.edu.sg

Kalimah demo's how to cover book jackets

The only plastic covering we do is on books which have a paper dust-jacket where the hardcover beneath is totally plain. This is a small proportion of the collection, but it still takes time -- which is why we appreciate the help of parent volunteers.

Watch Kalimah demonstrate for how to put the paper cover inside a plastic sleeve.

If you're interested to know the reason behind our decision not to cover every book in sticky-back plastic, read this blog post of mine from 2008 on plastic, recycling, and the future of the book.
