Thing 17

This was one of the more difficult things for me to complete. I was barely familiar with all of these except NetLibrary for downloading eaudio books and ProQuest for research. And in ProQuest I have only showed patrons how to email the articles they would like to take a closer look at to themselves. I don’t think that the directions were very clear for these things. But here is what I got.

The search alert is a great way to follow a subject that anyone is researching. I had a hard time using the RSS but was able to email.
I did not find EBSCO page composer user friendly, and could not see the changes I made until previewing the webpage. I found it to be a bit difficult. I completed two web pages but I never did get the image to work here.
ProQuest is a great research tool. I am more familiar with this site. I usually direct patrons to this one. I did the work and emailed the page to myself and will forward to my supervisor.
NetLibrary is the future of reading. I have downloaded eAudio books to my mp3 player before. I think it is great to be able to type in a word and to search for it in an entire book in a matter of seconds and it allows you to write notes online that I was not aware of before this training.
