Vendor Description

A Collaboration of Grassroots Performing Artists serving Communities, Events, and Education. Locally grown arts experiences by grassroots artists who have no commercial additives! Discounts: Libraries are encouraged to work together to bundle the individual artist’s events on the same day in a given area to achieve maximum efficiency for travel distance and time. Costs are always reduced by having several shows in a given day and area. Shows can be at elder care centers, community organizations, schools, or other libraries. Some artists offer a free evening community show as an incentive to book a paid Summer Reading Program show during the day. For a package of artists (combined purchases), such different individuals for a series of performances or a family fun night involving several artists, please contact David HB Drake or email . Often, special bid pricing is given in these situations.

Vendor Description

NoodleTools is a platform for student research built by educators and anchored in the best practices of academic research and inquiry learning. Known as the most comprehensive and accurate bibliography composer on the Web and always up to date according to the latest editions of the MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian style guides, the software is designed as a learning and teaching tool, not simply a “machine” that automates the process. Students and teachers receive prompt, personal responses to citation questions. NoodleTools also includes note-taking and outlining components that enable a researcher, alone or with others, to extract, organize and synthesize information. Members of a research group can collaborate together on a project in real-time to take notes, cite and annotate sources, then outline and write a paper. From the instructional view, multiple teachers can monitor an individual’s contributions to a project and give in-context feedback. NoodleTools has designed a seamless integration with Google Docs to give students a robust online composing space and permits instructors to do paperless evaluation and provide feedback directly on students’ work. NoodleTools is a flexible teaching tool which supports both individual learning preferences and a variety of teaching styles.
