Bibliotherapy Suggestions (9 year old girl)
by Davis Stephanie D 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi! I've been asked to identify books for a 9 year old girl dealing with anxiety, loss and stress, possibly linked to her adoption. She likes to read and her counselor suggested bibliotheraphy. Several years ago, I taught children's literature so I know there are books out there on this topic, but I'm not familiar with the current titles. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you, Stephanie DeLano Davis, Library Director Atkinson Library, Jackson College 2111 Emmons Road Jackson, MI 49201 davisstephand(a)jccmi.edu<mailto:davisstephand@jccmi.edu> 517-796-8482 "Always forward, never back." ~ Junipero Serra

Workforce Skills for 21st Century Success
by Diana Hiles 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hi Eunice: I was intrigued to see this new resource (brought to our attention about a month ago). We are using some of the modules found in the Workforce Skills for 21st Century Success <http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-lxpress3.php?database=CEN> for our student employees. However, trying to take the direct path and accessing "Learning Express Library" we could not find the Workforce Skills resource. Is it possible to include the it WITHIN the available options for Learning Express Library? We did find it (eventually) under the available databases. Just an idea. . . Thank you!!!
