KATHY PARKHURST, ILL/Reference Coordinator
 | For those of you who missed last week's internet reference workshop entitled: "Is Your Webbrain Working?", there are handouts and sample exercises available at our FLLS homepage. Under 'Resources', there is a link called 'Webbrain demo' that takes you to the webpage created by TCPL reference staff as a training tool for this workshop. You can also access this by going directly to this URL: http://www.tcpl.org/Webbrain/ At the end of each section, there is a link called 'Workshop Handout' that takes you to a Microsoft Word version of the handouts and exercises, (complete with the links used to demonstrate specific sites) that you can print off and use for training other staff and volunteers. Hats off to TCPL staff members Galadriel Chilton, Jennifer Schlossberg, and Rosie Rice for a well-paced and informative presentation. If you only have time to look at two sites, be sure to take a look at http://www.malepregnancy.com/ (used as a demo to evaluate websites) and http://historywired.si.edu/index.html the Smithsonian's virtual tour of objects from the National Museum of American History. |
