The End

The biggest thing I learned doing this challenge was getting into the databases I had never even looked at before; such as, HeritageQuest, Sanborn Maps, Archivegrid and Camio. We have such great databases and they do not get the use they should! I am really going to try hard to push patrons to using our databases- especially Learning Express-I think that is my favorite. I love to study and take tests ( I know, I'm weird). I think patrons don't know these are available or are not as good as looking up something randomly on the internet (If only they knew). I do think it is sad that they Newsbank resources will be no more pretty soon-we use those more than the others. I think the best way to get patrons to use these is to get good at using them ourselves so we can help them. If were standing there looking confused-they will probably get pretty intimidated! All in all, I really liked this challenge and learned a lot-but I still don't get along with Ancestory!
