Welcome Back to School SAS
August 6th- Welcome back to School!. Monday new and returning teachers will pour into to SAS Pudong Campus to get the school year started. While new teachers and admin have been on campus for the last week, tomorrow everyone will be together for reunions and new beginnings as we get ready for students. On Aug 10th, the Secondary Library will have a table out with the rest of the various organizations to help new students and parents connect into school. Classes will begin on August 14th. While it is hot an humid outside in Shanghai, the Secondary Library’s air con is working so come and cool off in the library, checkout all the new books that came over the summer and let the library staff help you start your year off right with that perfect end of summer-start of school read.

OverDrive Links Added
May 31st- A lot of work today in the SAS PD Sec Library. Today was the first day of high school exams and we had lots of students in and out of the library. A large part of the day besides working with retrieving resources and working to set the library up for summer break was the retooling of our SAS OverDrive Links (http://saschina.lib.overdrive.com/). The Destiny Home page was edited to update the OverDrive Catalog, Online Help, and Quick Start-Up Links (http://destiny.saschina.org/common/servlet/presenthomeform.do?l2m=Home&tm=Home). In that our school blogs are being discontinued, the Quick Start-Up Link Help were moved to this blog with cross links to Destiny. Note: the image is from OverDrive Help Files

SAS Has OverDrive
SAS Has OverDrive. For the last three months the SAS Librarians have been working behind the scenes to make sure everything is in place to release OverDrive. The wait has been a long one, but beginning March 3, we will be gradually releasing Overdrive to our SAS Pudong and Puxi Middle School Students. The plan is to fully test OverDrive for the rest of the Spring with our Middle School Students and work to open it up to all our library patrons in Fall of 2014. At present our OverDrive Library is small having only 67 ebooks and audiobooks, but as we fine tune the process the SAS Librarians have plans to expand the offerings as quickly as possible.
The SAS PD Secondary Library has already added the OverDrive Link to its Destiny Home Page. The marc records have been uploaded. Middle School student information has been put in place and we are almost ready to go live!
OverDrive is an eBook/Audio Book platform that allows library patrons to check out library resources and read or listen to these books using a personal computer or portable device (phone, ipad, etc) anywhere in the world. There are some software packages that students will have to load to their computing devices and information and pathfinders outlining this process will be coming soon. Next Week (March 3-) information links in the SAS PD Secondary Destiny Home Page as well as the SAS PD Librarian Blogs will begin appearing. This will extend to SAS Puxi Middle School students after they have completed their Poetry Week.
SOOOO… WATCH for It. OverDrive is here!
