Week 10 - Wrap up
What was my biggest discovery? On a personal basis, my biggest discovery was in Ancestry Library. I found that my father was not 100% Norwegian! It piqued my interest in someday spending more time looking into my ancestors.
In general, I discovered what a wealth of information is out there on these databases! I wish I had more time to become an "expert" in one or more!
How will I promote or use these resources with our patrons, colleagues, and students? Our branch is one that shares space with our high school. I hope to be able to share these resources with high school and middle school students when they are looking for material to support their homework/projects. As a mom of a college student, I will also pass on suggestions to her as well. I've already told a relative about ACT practice tests that her daughter can use as she enters her junior year in high school.
This has been very interesting. I wish I would have more time to absorb more of the information available!
You've done a wonderful job on the challenge! You are well on your way to being an expert in the resources. You know their content and how the search works--next steps are using them and recommending them like you plan to do! Thank you so much for your work. Julie
