Lesson 10

Wrap Up

I appreciated learning about the Electronic Resources available for our local library patrons. I believe I found the genealogy portion the most interesting.   I struggled, though. I do not believe the site is especially user-friendly, certainly not if you are short on time.  I signed up on new patron for the e-card for the State Library. She is a home school mom and was excited about the resources for her family, but she also felt this site was cumbersome and not as user-friendly as she hoped it would be.  We also have a patron coming in this afternoon to sign up, since we do not have the information available in our library to fulfill her report requirements. 

We are using some of the sites with patrons now, and will continue to let them know of what is available to them on this site.  As a Library Director, I appreciate having this information available for our patrons.  I called in to the State Library Reference Department for help in finding information for a patron, and they were very helpful. They went so far as to finish the search for me and then sent me the links to the entire text article. Thanks for all your help!
