Her Virtual Library, located at http://springfieldlibrary.wikispaces.com/ is a multi-purpose site which provides a large variety of resources for students, teachers, and librarians. These resources include ebooks, videos, online lessons for core subjects, links to news stories taking place around the world, and databases/search portals for research. There's actually much more information included on this site than can be conveniently listed!


 * Reflection--**I really enjoyed looking through the information. There's much more to fully explore on the Virtual Library, but I'm looking forward to viewing more of the resources, especially the videos!
