Hi all,

Teaching Books' Nick Glass has a couple of question for you.  

1. How do you feel about giving us the first names and email addresses of your library contacts in your BOCES? 
Chuck's response: I will not release your names and email addresses but you can contact him directly.

2. Another support offer from Teaching Books: how about a live webinar. You pick the date, and I'll try to make it happen.
Chuck's response: I am fine with this if any of you would like to attend.

Feel free to contact Nick directly if you would like some help in utilizing the great resources available from TeachingBooks.

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Sadly, no one has responded to the email that you sent out a few weeks ago. I'd like to suggest that TeachingBooks.net send this out -- and even add your liaisons to our list. Right now we've IP authenticated each district in your BOCES so that access is as easy as possible. Now for them to try it.

How do you feel about giving us the first names and email addresses of your library contacts in your BOCES? I would use it only for the purpose defined below -- and it would be fascinating to see if use could grow. I looked last night, and no -- it was really low.

Another support offer: how about a live webinar. You pick the date, and I'll try to make it happen. Just fill out the form at http://teachingbooks.net/webinars


Chuck -- I must say I'm a bit perplexed by this. Many accounts are using it greatly --- and I really think it is about awareness. Want to discuss this some more? Call, or email me when to contact you.


What do you think?


Here's the letter I'd like to send.  Thanks, Chuck. My very best, -- Nick
