John Schumaker's (Mr. Schu) blog. Recently featured on the cover of SLJ, he's a Chicago area librarian. This page shows the top 10 books in his library this year, complete with author/book videos for each title. Great idea for reading promotion.
Fabulous database which Indiana residents access for free via INSPIRE. Easiest access is to go directly to this site and sign in with school email address. Owner Nick Glass is in regular contact with AISLE.
