[kids-lib] Changes to children's databases, and training on it

[Katie Anderson]

I just wanted to highlight the training opportunities highlighted below for Gale's two new databases: Research In Context and Business Collection.

Research in Context replaced the following resources. If you have not yet updated the links on your web site, please remember to do so. Your library's links can be found at: http://galesupport.com/oregon/lookup.php

*         Discovering Collection

*         Junior Reference Collection

*         Student Resource Center Junior

*         InfoTrac Junior

Business Collection, which will be introduced on August 7, will replace General Business File and Business ASAP. Again, a link to this new database will be available on Aug. 7 at: http://galesupport.com/oregon/lookup.php

Please contact me if you have any questions about these changes, or if you would like to plan more training activities at your library.
