I have to say my personal fave discovery was Ancestry and HeritageQuest. There is so much information on family history in those two data bases. I had no idea they would be so fun to search! Next I would have to say I really liked World Books. I will really be showing it to students and parents more now that I can navigate them a bit better. I have been telling parents/kids about these databases but not confident enough to show them...not anymore! I will be personally showing them all these really great resources for their school reports! I do have to say that Mango Languages was one that I was just sort of familiar with as I had two patrons ask about it, but it was also in my top three favorites. It's such a great program that is really easy to navigate.
I will be making a Facebook post, a sign for my desk and anyone that comes in to research school papers, or family history, or cars will be getting a quick lesson from me. I'm sad that I did not utilize these more previously. This was a great learning experience and I'm glad I took the time (last minute but hey! I got all the lessons done!) to take this Challenge. Thanks!
We are so happy to hear how empowered you feel upon completing the Challenge, Raven! Congratulations!!! Take a bow!
