I really enjoyed Nick Hall and I would be keen to hear from other librarians what strategies they have implemented at their schools, in order to ensure that teachers who are creating content and pupils who are creating projects are aware of the legalities and the importance of referencing.

Research skills are as vital to a child's understanding and accumulation of knowledge as they always have been. It is clear that research on the internet requires vigorous exercise of understanding the question, testing the validity of the sites used and the various other steps of developing a presentation.

This will be a fabulous way of South African Librarians sharing library and curriculum specific software ideas.

Please remember that when you post an article to do with anything software related to make sure you click on the software label.

• Which is the best library management system to use?
• Staffing in libraries - how do we go forward when we are alone?
• Librarians need recognition as a valuable "resource"

• Budgets for e-books and beyond...

We would love to make our library a 21st Century library but really struggle with space and finances. Does anyone have any idea on how to create some more room without spending a fortune?
