As the semester rapidly moves toward a close, I want to let you know that Educational Resources Collections (ERC) personnel have been busy updating the collections, removing worn and outdated items and acquiring new materials; this includes the examination of VHS titles, replacing many with the same or a similar
title on DVD. If we have not already updated a title you regularly use, please let
us know. Some titles are not available on DVD, but we will check and purchase if
found and funds are available. ERC personnel have withdrawn many items from
the 3-dimensional materials collections that are badly worn or out of date. This
includes puppets, dolls, games, activity cards, etc. Many of these items are being
replaced. In addition to the video recordings, we are open to suggestions for updating other materials in the collections. The food pyramid is one example. We
are receiving new materials on the “My Plate” theme and withdrawing materials
associated with the food pyramid theme. If you have questions or specific needs,
let us hear from you. I can be reached at 5-5333 or dhill@bsu.edu. Have a great
semester and a wonderful holiday season.
The USDA “My Plate”
MyPlate, the "new generation" food icon,
was launched on June 2nd, 2011 by the
USDA. MyPlate illustrates the five food
groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein
foods, and dairy) that form the basis of a
healthy diet. Instructional resources
supporting the concepts are now available. There are two programs on DVD:
“Eat smart!: MyPlate & 2010 dietary
guidelines” (DVD Video 9482) and
“Personalizing MyPlate: easy changes
for eating habits” (DVD Video 9484).
Recently received is the model
“MyPlate” (UDC 4493) which is in the
shape of the USDA MyPlate graphic.
In addition, the “Complete MyPlate
kit” (UDC 4494) that includes 42 food
models and 5 plate models can be
charged out along with the “MyPlate
display rack” (UDC 4495) to be used in
displays illustrating the MyPlate
concepts. If you have questions
about these materials please contact
Diane Hill,
285-5333.
