With all of the election verbiage and hype that has overwhelmed us this fall you might want to teach some words and definitions to those students you help regularly. Where did the word "aboveboard" come from and what does it mean? You can use the World Book's Dictionary to find out!
When you go to the State's Databases http://www.kslc.org/index.jsp and choose World Book (near the bottom of the list) you can see the Dictionary TAB near the top. Go there to find out just what the word means AND what its origin is. (Hint: Texas Hold'em plays a role.)
About Me
- Sherry Backhus
- Emporia, Kansas
- The picture is of my first balloon flight which was certainly a thrill! I researched balloon flight safety before I went and was glad that I did. I have my MLS from Emporia State University and have been part of the Kansas library community for more than thirty years now. During that time I have worked at KU and ESU, I have attended many Tri-Conferences and held leadership positions in several sections and roundtables. I honestly believe that librarians (especially Kansas librarians) are at the forefront of accepting and using technology to our communities' advantage. Yea US!
