A HANDS-ON INTRODUCTION TO THE STATE LIBRARY’S ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
with Eric Gustafson, State Library of Kansas
FRIDAY, MARCH 27th

NEKLS LAB
4317 West 6th Street
Lawrence, KS

Do you know about all the great resources for libraries available from the Kansas State Library’s web site? This hands-on lab session will give you a introduction to the many valuable services you can offer your patrons courtesy of the State Library of Kansas, including:

* Audiobooks, Music & More (now Mac/iTunes friendly!)
* Statewide Databases (Chilton’s, HeritageQuest, NoveList, World Book, and much, much more!)
* Local IP Address Recognition (quick and easy access to resources from all your computers!)
* Kansas Library Card
* WebJunction Kansas

Participants will receive a thorough explanation of these tools in a hands-on, small group tutorial session led by Eric Gustafson, the State Library’s Library Technology Consultant. A great refresher for veteran librarians, and a perfect introduction for new librarians! The session will conclude with a free pizza lunch and informal discussion session.
