Week 11 - Wrap UP

This has been a great learning experience and has made me much more aware of what MARVEL has to offer. One of the most important things I learned was that MARVEL is very user-friendly and offers information on practically any subject you are interested in. It can be overwhelming to look at the lists of databases available but if you take it one step or database at a time, like we did in this class, you can navigate the sites and find what you are looking for. I currently use NoveList K-8 on a daily basis and find that to be a valuable resource. I know that I will refer to Health Source but I don't think that I will be spending any time on Business Source Complete. The information available there is still Greek to me! If I can ever find any spare time I would like to continue to explore Ancestry Library and, of course, Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center. I did love that lesson!

I will continue to encourage the students to use NoveList when doing their book, author and series searches. I will also remind them about the Britannica resource that is available. I want to thank Stephanie, Marmie and Valerie for offering this Invitational and the opportunity to explore MARVEL. Marvel truly is MARVELOUS!!
