LIBRARY & Information Week 2007

Remember, this week is Library & Information Week - a big day for libraries across Australia!

Help us celebrate the contribution libraries make to the information and recreation needs of all Australians. We have displays of students' work, demonstrations of e-resources, competitions and PRIZES! For staff members we have a Conversation Cafe on Wednesday discussing Web 2.0 technologies.

Please come along and join in the celebrations.

Screenrights and EnhanceTV

St George College has a Screenrights licence.
This is very important when copying free-to-air programs and excerpts from TV and Radio.

The following website gives information on what teachers can do with this licence:-

This site is well worth investigating if you want to make electronic copies of free-to-air programs and send them to your students.
