Provide 2+ links to resources for parents. This can include advice on working with children in this age group, ideas of activities that can be done at home, or suggestions or other types of help that their children can seek out, etc.

In this box provide a link to the video that you create, or that you have students/teachers create.
This video will:
-tell students, teachers, & parents what is in the guide
-be short (max. 2 mins)
-show enthusiasm
-use 'kid friendly language"
-explain to students why they benefit from using this guide
-explain how to use the guide (main points: databases, websites, games available & how to get a bookmark)
-Ensure that you do not use written words that are not actually read out-loud (this is done in video #2 below). This is problematic because many of the children cannot read. Therefore, if you use printed words in your video, make sure that you actual say the words out-loud (as is done in video #1 below when the librarian refers to the catalogue as having "Free" materials and speech bubbles appear simultaneously).
-This video does not have to have an image of you in it! If you are uncomfortable in front of a camera you can find alternate methods of presenting the information that you want to convey. See example 2 below.

Provide an intro that is image-based.
PLEASE INSERT YOUR LCI PROFILE BOX IN THIS LOCATION ON THE PAGE.
AFTER YOUR PROFILE HAS BEEN INSERTED PLEASE DELETE THIS BOX.
If the insertion of your profile box causes this page to have 'too many' items in this colum (i.e. this column ends up much longer than both the left and center columns), then please insert your profile box in the bottom left corner of the page instead.
This is a new instruction as of January 2014.
Thank you.
