Thing 17

The ELM databases are a fabulous resource. I direct patrons to them all the time. Even with some marketing dollars spent around databases, most people don't know they exist.

It had been awhile since I'd created an alert, so it was good to have the refresher. I had no trouble creating the RSS feed for a search.

I was able to create the web page as instructed on item 2. I can see how saving search results and other information when doing a project would be very helpful.

I thought the Proquest interface was a little easier to use than Ebsco's in terms of creating web sites and RSS feeds.

I like having the NetLibrary books available 24/7.
