I just used my skills today – Do Da! Do Da! October 30, 2009

sing along with me!  

A former faculty member who is also the parent of a middle school-age child just called about resources I would recommend for his daughter’s science fair project.   It was related to germs and bacteria SO I got to recommend a few of the neat things I learned at the MLA conference including a few of the features of Medline Plus  that might appeal to the science fair set, and Tox Town which they could access from home FREE.  I also told him about a database we have here on campus that Dr. Van Fleet introduced to those of us in her reference class: AccessScience which they can come in and use on campus.   Dad was very happy.   Let’s hope the daughter is as enthusiastic.

Yippee!   I’ve acquired some Skilz!
