Join us this time as we talk with Dr. David Lankes, the new Director of the School of Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina. Katie, Pamela, and Dr. Lankes discuss libraries, where they are, what's happening now, and what we have to look forward to in the future. Dr. Lankes also shares some of his adventures from trips to memorable libraries around the globe.

Join us as we sit down with the SC Discus staff, Patricia Sinclair, Jessica Ogburn, and Linda Heimburger.  We will explore a few of the many wonderful resources available in the South Carolina Virtual Library and learn a few tricks and tips for using some of the tools.  Even Katie and I learned a few things during our short recording session.

Some of the tools highlighted include: BrainPopJr, Opposing Viewpoints, Science Reference Center, Credo, Nursing Resource Center, Consumer Health Complete, and more. All of these resources and more can be found at scdiscus.org.
