Lesson 10 Hot Topic: A Fantastic Online Bibliograhpy Resource for TL's

A good website that I have found that I would turn frequently to if I were a TL is Carol Hurst's Literature Site. http://www.carolhurst.com/index.html

This site contains a collection of book reviews and teaching ideas to go along with the books. Sections of the site are arranged by title, author, and grade level. There is also a section that recommends books according to the curriculum area you have entered. This would be handy when a teacher comes to the TL to ask for a book about "Families" or "Greek Mythology". A quick peek at this website will help you provide a good starting point.There is a section for parents as well and you can subscribe to the digital newsletter.

I really like the design of this website. It contains an Expanded Table of Contents which makes it easy to know what kind of information is contained in this website. Finding the information is really easy as well.

My only concern is that while the copyright shows that it is current to 2012, I have noticed that the last update appears to be in July of 2011. There are so many great resources on this site and it would be a shame to let it fall out of date! I hope that new titles keep being added to it.
