Wrap up

I didn't know anything about CAMIO or the ArchiveGrid so those were my biggest discovery.  The others I had used, some more than others.  But I learn a little more about each one.  This exercise gives me the incentive to explore each a little more than trying to learn while doing a search with the patron looking over my shoulder.

Promoting is always a challenge.  We've written up various resources in our newsletter and handed out info at back to school nights, but usage is still low.  One on one at the circ desk is the best way.  When someone is checking out a GED/ACT etc book, suggest the learning express.  We did that with a guy wanting to get a CDL and he was thrilled.

Like everything in the library, promoting them is always something that should be in every interaction.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn.  Keep up the good work!
