Harding Library
Happy New (School) Year!
Welcome
This is my short newsletter to let you know what the library offers, what I hope to accomplish this year and a little about myself.
Library Services & Resources
Research Guidance
I'd love to work with you and your students in the way that works best for you. I can:
- Teach brief lessons on the research process, citing, copyright and using the library
- Work with students individually or in small groups and help as they research or to discuss any part of the research process. Send them to me or ask me to come to you.
Online Resources
Scholarly resources are available through ELM. Browse the available databases by subject to see the broad range from science experiments to literary criticism to History Day resources.
Books, eBooks & Audiobooks
What I'm working on this year
Most importantly, I'm excited to get to know Harding to continue developing library materials and services for you. I'll also be working with the other district librarians on several projects including implementing EasyBib Pro, a version that the students can log in with their AD account and connect to Google Docs as well as take notes and organize research. I'm currently on a committee to build resources for students and teachers to support the Guided Inquiry model of research.
Contact Me
I'm happy to meet with you informally, attend your PLC meetings to talk about these and other ways I can help.

About Me
My name is Betsy Dadabo (pronounced duh DAH bo). I'm very excited to be working with you all this year. I started out with a degree in EL, but after working in my university library, decided I liked the combination of teaching, working with people and exploration of a broad range of subject matters. I worked for nine years at Bethel University in various roles of managing the tech support desk, working at the research desk and most recently managing the website and working with digital humanities and scholarship. I love talking to people about tech tools they use and how to incorporate tech and research into the classroom.
