SEMINARS AND EDUCATION
Sno-Isle Libraries has ‘Online Tools for Success’
“Online resources”…“databases” …“eResources.” These terms are frequently used at the library, but many people may be confused or intimidated by them. As a remedy, Sno-Isle Libraries is taking an innovative approach to put these library customers at ease with a series of short videos to introduce electronic resources, or eResources, to new users.
Sno-Isle Libraries produced nine short videos that focus on eResources that meet the needs of the community in the areas of education, employment and business.
Each of the “Online Tools for Success” videos features a different eResource with a testimonial from a real Sno-Isle customer and an easy-to-understand tutorial on how to get started, led by a Sno-Isle librarian. Those who watch the 4-minute videos will have a better understanding of what the eResource can do and how it can help.
For more information call 360-651-7000 or 1-877-SNO-ISLE (1-877-766-4753), or visit www.sno-isle.org.
