Post #7 - BlogShare - A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet

At A Media Specialist's Guide to the InternetMs. Julie Greller talks about a large amount of information about libraries, and particular school libraries.  She talks about information that is good for students and great for librarians.  The particular blog that intrigued me is dated Wednesday, March 26th and it talks about how to raise money for your school library.  It includes options instead of large databases and some creative ways to gain these funds.  The one I liked in particular was the idea of a Birthday Book Club, where parents or students can buy a book in honor of a student and put a nameplate inside the book in order to keep the gift memorialized.
This site ties to technology because there are even more options available, and I never really put thought to the idea of library fundraising.  Kickstarter allows you to crowdsource particular projects, and I wish Ms. Greller had included that as well.
