So you're going to evaluate our blogs, eh? I'm not threatened...
Contrary to appearances, I've learned alot. I enjoyed Ancestry and Hobbies and Crafts, I found Health and Newspapers most useful. Probably the most impressive were the EbscoHost Databases, which will take a great deal longer than a week to really be able to use well, but I'm game. Thanks for the help.

Week 10
I"m certainly impressed with the size of the available databases and interesting sidelights - I can get Time magazine March 1923 read to me with an Aussi accent. I could not find ?Periodicals? at all but did find Title List as an option, which seemed to serve the purpose. I did a basic search in Ebsco eBook on Constitution Day and came up with one result - "Historical Dictionary of Taiwan (Republic of China). ???

Week 9
LearningExpress is great, and the tutorial is wonderful, once I got it to run - clear and concise, with enough time to connect what you're reading with the section of the screen it's referring to. One of the sections I hadn't noticed before was the software tutorials which could be a valuable resource - though it would be better if I could have found a short description of them each. The practice tests and prep guides do save a great deal of shelf space in a subject area that changes so quickly sometimes it's hard to keep up and that has a high number of disappearances.

Weeks 7,8 & 9
Consumer Health was moderately navigable. I was glad to see that it contained some information on alternate therapies, and it seemed in general to be a good starting placewhen you want information on a specific condition.
Geneology was tough to get the hang of but fun and addictive.
The LearningExpress tutorial didn't work and it took me quite a while to find the site in the first place, but once on I could get around it. I've already made use of these with patrons and am very glad to have tried them first.
