=== Creating your own personal digital library (PDL) ===
A personal digital library can store information on different topics of interest to you. It is 'personal' meaning it is available on your own computer, for your use any time. It is 'digital'; it is available in a digital format, which makes it easy for you to store, search and share. Most importantly, it is a 'library' meaning the digital resources are organised meaningfully, for you to easily access information when you want it. For any topic, the PDL will consist of the set of resources downloaded in your folders and sub-folders, along with a 'meta document' which has information about the resources and the files stored in the library.
You can build such libraries on any topic you are interested in, and support your own self-learning in a structured manner. Since the internet has resources on almost all topics, you have an opportunity to keep learning on topics of your interest. The topic or area need not be only one of theoretical interest or only to build your knowledge. You can also work on building skills, there are likely to be videos available for helping you learn a new language, or even a skill like swimming.
You can share this personal digital library with your colleagues so that they can also benefit. When teachers share their personal digital libraries / resources from their library with their colleagues, cumulatively, it creates a rich and diverse resource environment.
There are several steps in creating a resource folder.
# Make a folder on the computer by topic
# Create a 'meta' document which will provide your thoughts on the topic and link the resources you have collected to these thoughts
# Access relevant resources from Internet
# Save pages, images, videos
# Insert into document
# Copy links of the resources you find useful, and which you would like to refer to in your document
# Paste / insert links into document
# Add your own comments, suggestions in the meta document, and connect the resources accessed and shared, with your ideas to create a resource document on the selected topic.
# Format the document
