Thing 13: Subscription Databases

Haven't spent as much time as I should using EBSCOHOST, so I viewed the Webinar by Beth Staats using Academic Search Premiere and EBSCOHOST. Liked being able to set up personalized folders for searches, Journal alerts for which I have set up Journal alerts for LMC, VOYA and Library Journal in MasterFile Premiere. Was interesting to learn about the development of LISTA and look forward to more on that. AND set up two (2) new Favorites...books.google.com where books can be accessed online such as poetry, Grimms Fairy Tales, and many other classic titles. I also enjoyed viewing and using Galeschools and learned all sorts of information on grants available to schools, libraries and teachers tabs with special programs. Just being able to learn how to use and navigate in this complex database will prove helpful for searching for and teaching patrons where to find the best resources and how much more is available if we spend a little more time learning about these databases...and the best news: they're FREE!
