We have been restructuring the database and the organization of Digital History for the past three years, and we feel this makeover will significantly improve the usability of our materials. In our new interface, materials are organized by era, so users will easily be able to view many different types of resources for a particular era such as the textbook, images, primary sources, multimedia and teacher materials.

Scenes from the Unquiet Library: Four Classes Researching, Learning, and Collaborating
I'm always amazed by how beautifully classes co-exist in our learning space when we max out with four classes. I thought it would be fun this morning to capture a quick snapshot of what learning looks like at The Unquiet Library-moments like this are the happiest for me here in the library and validate the vision of a learning-centered library.

"The Common Core State Standards focus attention on nonfiction and the skills necessary to produce and interpret it. The iNK authors have been practicing these skills throughout their careers and can pass on their knowledge of how to master them to your students. Use our books as mentor texts, hear the author's voice as you learn content, ask us how we conduct our research and make decisions about what to include. Learn as we "unpack" our processes. In order to teach critical thinking, you need to give students something to think about. So our books are aligned to National Curriculum Standards so it's easy to find inspiring and informative material on the subjects you're required to teach.
