Welcome to the first CiTi Library Media Center Newsletter.
With each newsletter I hope to provide you with valuable

You can sign up for the videos conferences for free and
then view them live or afterwards through streaming.

singing up for this resource. I have signed up the Library

I have also attached a copy of our online subscriptions.
The list is getting longer. There are links on the Library
Website on the CiTi website that can be accessed through
the Staff Resources page. Here is a direct link to the Li-
brary Webpage

3D Printers available!
We now have 3D printers available in both of the Library Media Centers. These are to be used by teachers and students. This is a great resource for PBL projects and everyday learning. I would appreciate an adult being trained on how to use the 3D printers before scheduling their use.
We have a rainbow of colors to print in! You can print in one color at a time but you can pause the printer to change colors. Thingiverse is a great source of files to print. Also, many museums and colleges are now offer-ing files as well. The Makerbot Print-Shop is installed on the student iPads for students to design rings, bracelets and medals.
There are so many options, sign up for a training to learn all the features. I learned in a very short period of time to 3D print so can you!
