My observations of ProQUEST: Without using the video tutorial had me alittle confused, I went from reading the current invitational, right into the listed ProQuest which quickly got me lost, so thank you very much for that 3 minute review of how to maneuver about this site! I would have been able to figure this out on my own, as I have used this search engine years past, but that would have taken more time to acclimate myself.
Staying on the issue of earthquakes I decided to see what I could find for articles about any news. So I took my advance search of Earthquakes and Maine and 2012 searching in Article form and, so I came up with 52 results of nothing close to what I was looking for. REGROUP!! I'm going to start over in Basic search with earthquakes and have now received 1,487 results. I enjoyed the article, "Quake leaves area shaken, not stirred" Kennebec Journal. I've heard throughout this week that we've had quakes before, interestingly the last minor quake was in 2006 by Mount Desert Island with a 4.2...huh, I don't recall that....plus there were tremors for several months after that.
I'm off to check out another blog post and see what's happening with the others :)
Okay I know it's "snap shot" week, and I've been working in the library for 12 hours this week with this Invitational at the Circulation desk. First, most Patrons are interested in knowing what I am working on but as to taking the time to use it Or talk alittle about what I'm doing, I've received more encouragement for me than actually trying it themselves. Well next week is another week and I'm really going to encourage some exploring for the Patrons I interact with along with/more-so my staff!!
See you next week!!
