Panhandle librarians staying relevant in educ

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – Over the years, the role of a librarian has slightly changed because of the advancement and expansion of technology.
Claude ISD is a 1:1 school, meaning for every one student in the district, there is a device to match. As more sources move online and become digital, librarians are working on staying relevant in education.
“Part of our job is to teach students and teach the next generation how to sort through the mess and the misinformation to sort out what is truth and what is real and what is not,” said Leslie Whitaker, librarian at Claude ISD.
Students are learning about digital resources and how they can use them correctly.
“When they’re doing research or even when they’re just reading or on social media, dig a little deeper, go further into that story and find out if the source is reliable,” said Whitaker.
Technology was implemented in education a few years ago and now plays a vital part in students’ lives.
“One thing that people may not realize about all types of librarians is that they also are very well versed in technology. They have to know all sorts of different technology aspects, needs and how you use different tools,” said Kelly Hoppe, head of outreach and instruction at West Texas A&M University Cornette Library.
Hoppe says a lot of what is happening now isn’t necessarily new to librarians.
“Your librarian may be a bit ahead of the game and a perfect person to go to when you need help with different types of technology,” said Hoppe.
Librarians work with databases, teaching citations and research online.
“The technology is a huge aspect and how we can look up, borrow and get information. They are definitely a key to that map,” said Dr. Jennifer Denham, instructor of education and undergraduate advisor at West Texas A&M University.
Finding unique ways to gear kids toward books is also a hot topic, especially trending books online.
“Have kids talk about ‘What are you reading? What have you seen? What would you recommend to friends?’ And that does help get the kids interested in new books and even old books,” said Whitaker.

New technology to replace problematic water pipes in Crawford County - wgxa.tv

Sunny 65 65 38 Today 65 38 Tuesday 72 42 Wednesday 76 47 Latest Weathercast Interactive Radar Now 65 Tue 72 Wed 76 by BRANDON MCGOUIRK | WGXA News CRAFORD COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — Residents in the area of Moncrief Road and Highway 128 have been without water since the weekend due to what Crawford County Water Superintendent Bill Patton calls an "ongoing issue" that they have been fighting. "20 years ago, they put the water line in at the base of the creek. With erosion, the pipe's not three, four feet above the bottom of the creek, so we get five inches of rain, it just washes away, we put it back," said Patton. "We've got a plan in place, now, to just completely replace it with newer technology." He explained that the new pipe will be five or six feet below the creek bed permanently. In the meantime, mobile water tanks, also known as water buffalos, are available for residents to have access to non-potable water to use for cleaning, ...

Converged Identity Platforms consolidate features found in other technologies - SC Media

(Adobe Stock) The lifecycle of technology innovation and adoption is circular. Point solutions and technologies are developed to solve a specific problem. Over time, these point solutions evolve, blend, and merge to help solve a larger overarching challenge. Identity security is currently going through the blending cycle as security leaders recognize the need to combine capabilities such as identity governance, privileged access, and application governance to reduce threat landscapes and simplify competing demands for better security, authentication, and access. As they have, converged identity platforms (CIPs) have been introduced to help organizations better manage their identity security programs. In fact, by next year, 70% of new access management, governance, administration, and privileged access deployments will be converged platforms, Gartner  reports .  Historically, many technology vendors have built out product suites to address a single overarching challenge. In this case, i...
