Finale

The biggest thing I learned in studying Marvel was that I could navigate the Gale Business Databases. I avoided the business databases like the plague and now I feel  I can help a patron find what they are looking for without having a MBA. I learned so much about the databases we studied that I feel very comfortable exploring them on my own or teaching others how to use them.  Understanding databases will be useful in helping my young patrons do those dreaded book reports. I will be able to help them find extra reference materials that are not in ours or the school's library stacks. Novelist is wonderful for reader reference and for knowing what book is next in a series.  Marvel is also great for teachers and parents who come in looking for help with lesson plans or fun activities.  This course has also forced me to create my first blog and maintain it which was not as nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Thank you to all who put this course together! It definitely has helped make my job easier.
