How current are you on the Web
2.0 utility, social bookmarking? Get up to speed with this connection.
Social bookmarking is an easy way to organize your bookmarks and also
information from blogs, wikis and even INFOhio Electronic Resources, so that
you can have access to them from any computer. You can give each of your
bookmarks a tag (user created subject heading) and can enter notes about the
sites. The beauty of it is that you can not only find your resources from
any computer, but you can also share bookmarks and even search for other
people's tagged resources. See how librarians, teachers and students can use
social bookmarking for research projects and even highlight and take notes
on online magazine articles from INFOhio.

Searching
With the NEW INFOsearch Feature
December 13, 2007, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Looking for a way to search
more than one resource from INFOhio's Core Collection of Electronic
Resources? INFOsearch is the answer! INFOsearch allows users
to search more than one part of INFOhio's Core Collection of Electronic
Resources at the same time. For example, a
Grades 6-8 INFOsearch general search for space shuttle may
deliver results from AccessScience, Compton's by Britannica
and SIRS Discoverer. Other searches will deliver other
results, depending on the search type or category you choose. Attend this
session to learn all the ins and outs of using INFOsearch. Needing ideas on
presenting this new search feature to teachers and students? This session
will help. We will cover many frequently asked questions and have time for
you to ask your own questions.
