Are you overwhelmed by the new state database options and don’t know where to start? Or have you never had the opportunity to use a scholarly database before? Maybe you are an expert with some database tools, but don’t know EBSCO as well. We are here to help!
Join Illinois Heartland Library System’s school membership coordinator Leah Gregory and Reaching Across Illinois Library System’s member engagement specialist Jessica Silva as they take you on a deep dive into using the new state databases in school libraries.
We’ll cover:
- Accessing the state database package
- Marketing to teachers for collaborative lessons
- School-specific tools such as:
- E-Books (including the general encyclopedia)
- College & career readiness options
- Subject area database options
- Novelist - the librarian’s best friend
This session will briefly cover accessing the database package but will primarily be devoted to using the tools within the package.
