1.) What was your biggest discovery?
I went back and read through instruction and posts. Each lesson was a challenge of sorts and discovery for me. I hadn't worked in several of the databases. World Book, will stop publishing paper (was the news reported this morning on HLN News), online format will cost about $70 per year. This database is wonderful for all ages, WorldCat great for anyone looking for any book, ProQuest for students and AncestryLibrary to find family's.
2.) How to promote resources? To keep the knowledge learned, will need to continue to use on own, when the need arises I can hopefully walk a person through the database.
This was fun and informative.
Thanks!

Hi, Pub Place, just a little correction: It's Encyclopaedia Britannica that will no longer publish print. World Book still does: http://www.worldbook.com/component/k2/item/1164-is-a-new-edition-of-the-world-book-encyclopedia-still-published-in-print-every-year?-yes-and-it%E2%80%99s-the-only-one-that-is . Thank you for joining us for this round of the SD State Library E-Resources Challenge. CONGRATULATIONS on completing it!!!! Take a bow!!! We hope you will continue to use and promote what you learned.
Thanks for the correction Jane. I remember listening to the news, shocked, stepped back into the living room and saw a picture of encyclopedias and the words World Book. My heart sunk, I grew up with a set of World Book volumes.
In hopes someone hangs onto their Encyclopaedia Britannica, if nothing else, but for the look of grandeur.
