Under history I clicked the title Berkshire Encyclopedia of
World History, 2005. There were five editions so I did a search of Croatia in
all volumes in this edition. This narrowed the search down to six results. In
the topic overview I liked how it had the page numbers and also the word count
to give the user a general idea how long the topic is. I viewed the text of
Ethnic Nationalism and noticed what the video was suggesting on how to use it
for example download to MP3 player, print, email, and download PDF to eReader.
These options are great for patrons that are on the go. We have many that like
to listen to audiobook while driving in the car or reading their eReader while
working out at the gym. Having two forms, text or PDF, gives users the freedom
to choose what they enjoy more. Overall the reading level is pretty advance but
many of the students that are using our library have a higher reading level.
I enjoy reading other participants’ blogs to bounce ideas
off of them. Other participants’ have found information that patrons would be
interested in. There is so much information in all these web sites and not
enough time to explore it all.
You're right, Warnecke--too much to view, not enough time! Keep at it! GVRL is aimed at HS through adult, though some middle schoolers have success here. Thanks for your comments.
