Task #10

The new library website is super! I really appreciate all that the committee members did to create this new site. I believe that patrons as well as staff members will find this much easier to use than our old site.

I especially like the colors and pictures used on the images of the children's site. They are very eye catching and easy for children to navigate through!

I browsed through the various sites and found information to be very accessible. I am glad that the footer is now being used instead of the drop down menus. The footer is much more user friendly. I love the calendars that are in various places which show what is going on each day at the library-- what a great tool! For history buffs like me, I enjoyed being able to readily find the information about the history of the library.

AWESOME JOB, Website Committee!!!

Task #9

WOW! This is a phenomenal new database! I can see that this site will be very beneficial to many-- including myself! I would like to someday sign up for the "Fine Arts" program offered. They may have some new information and ideas about puppetry. Also I can see using this site to help patrons who have questions about homeschooling. I could refer them to this database and then point out the "Parenting and Family" section as well as the "Teacher Tools" section. Both offer help for homeschool parents. These sites would also be helpful to any parent looking for suggestions about parenting in general. There are sections called "Behavior Management" and "Learning Disabilities" which may be very beneficial for some parents.

This is awesome!!

Thanks!!

Task #8

I finished doing the task and taking the test yesterday. I did not find the process of doing this task easy. For some reason when I would try to go to certain pages, it would come up with the words, "You have already used translator on this page." But it would not show me the translated page I was looking for. Perhaps there is a "glitch" somewhere in the system, or perhaps I was missing something.

However, I found that using the Google translate is a wonderful tool. I could recommend it for almost any language!!

Task #8

Task #7

I just looked at the videos and read the article. I would recommend using the Dropbox because to me it seems much easier to understand and use.

Task #6

I just finished the multiple choice questions and got them all correct. The following is my multiple choice question:

A third grade child came to me and asked for information for a school paper about baby squirrels which is due the next day. Where can I guide the child for information on his subject?
a) Help him search for books he can access in our library.
b) Help the child find Ebsco Primary Search.
c) Check into Searchasaurus for information.
d) All of the above

The answer: all of the above.

Task #5

What a wonderful source of information patrons!! I thought it was very clear, precise and user friendly. I clicked onto 2005, Susuki, Grand Vitara because that is the kind of car I have. I had trouble a few years ago with the charging system of my vehicle so I went into Engine Electrical. Then I hit Charging System. Below that I hit Alternator and then Diagnosis & Testing. I then watched a video about how to install the new alternator and how to test it. The video would be very beneficial to patrons in that it showed the process step-by-step explaining exactly what needs to be done.
