Librarian Chick!

Hello, and welcome to Librarian Chick!

This a list of free resources for students and educators… and anyone else who’s hip to learning. Feel free to click away! Though many of these resources could be listed under multiple categories, I’ve only added them once so you can CTRL+Click all links to open in tabs and never open the same page twice.

Librarian Chick

This is one of those self-evidently useful sites, full of information gathered from 6 years of software reviewing at TuCows huge shareware website. The Library Chick herself says it’s “a list of free resources for students and educators… and anyone else who’s hip to learning.”

She also points to FOSSwiki (a site for Freeware and Open Source Software) and her blog, “She Dreams in Digital.” As if that were not enough, she includes Librarian Chick Learning Center’(“search for free educational information, sites, games and software online!”), and Librarian Chick | Book Search (a tool to search for free ebooks).

    The C.C.C.C webpage, A Taste for Language: Literacy, Class, and English Studies includes a short podcast interview with me along with links to these reviews:

    ... by Victor Villanueva in CCC 62.4 (June 2011)
    ... by Chanon Adsanatham in Teaching English in the Two-Year College 38.3 (March 2011)
    ... by Scott McLemee in Inside Higher Education (17 Feb 2010)

    Note: you need to be a member of NCTE, and a subscriber to the relevant journal, to read the reviews by Villanueva and Adsanatham; the review by McLemee is available to the general public.
