 Have You Discovered INFOhio's Discovery Portal?
December
14, 2010,
3:30-4:30 p.m.
If your school is automated with the SirsiDynix
WorkFlows software, you have access to INFOhio’s Discovery Portal!
Discovery Portal replaces SchoolRooms as the user interface for one-stop searching and contains:
 |
Content that had been collected for use
within SchoolRooms: educator-selected, age-appropriate
websites which are now searchable |
|
Federated search of
selected INFOhio
electronic resources |
|
Best of Web
educationally-selected websites |
|
Area Media Centers
Digital Video Collection |
Participants were able to join
Trish Baker, Media
Resources Coordinator at
LACA, for a look at this new product available through
their online catalog,
CAT and CAT Jr. We explored the seven levels available
and took suggestions and comments for future planning.
Those not automated with INFOhio were welcome to attend this
session, especially if participation in INFOhio’s library automation program is under consideration.
