Lesson 10 - Wrap up

I would like to go through the weeks and share a little about each lesson -
World Book Online was a very helpful source for research or just getting to know a little bit more about a specific topic of interest.  Again, I enjoyed the video with the information.
Learnig Express had some valuable lessons and tests in regard to high school, college, and adult students.  Personal finance and jobs/careers couldn't be any more important than they are today. 
SIRS Discover - I enjoyed researching various topics and can see the value for teachers who could use any of these three weeks lessons so far.
Proquest is where I encountered a little trouble with the dates of the material but I think I have it figured out now.
In the Gale Virtual Library, I found some great material on medical issues.
Ebooks are definitely the wave of the future.  We have many people who inquire about ebooks at our small library. 
World Cat - I was probably the least impressed with in comparison to other weeks lessons. 
Very impressed on the other hand with Archivegrid and Camio - The pictures of Niagara Falls were of unbelievable quality. 
Ancestory - Anyone who is older, like myself, is especially sentimental about family history as the past becomes much more important to you.  I found some good things that could be used for family trees available at this site. 
Thanks so much for the experience.  I hope more people make use of the unique sourses of education found in all the sites at the South Dakota Library.
