I also work at Elmira College as one of the weekend Reference Librarians. There are four of us who cover the Research Help Desk (as it is now called) at the college on Friday-Sunday from Labor Day weekend to Memorial Day weekend. Elmira subscribe to some great databases. Their home page is http://www.elmira.edu/academics/library.shtml. I will be at the college tomorrow night. I am hoping for a snow day from school, we are expecting 3-6" of snow tomorrow!
If you are teaching Information Literacy, there is a great grade-friendly curriculum available at Common Sense Media . It is easy to follow and very student friendly. At the Corning Painted-Post Middle Schools, we have been teaching a class this year to the 6th grades called Library and Information Skills. This site has had some great resources we have used. Another site we have used for resources is: ReadWorks . Their stories are mostly non-fiction and align to the Common Core.
