What do I like about it?
*Searches our sources from one spot – books and online
*Appears all on one page and since students are familiar with Ebsco, they are comfortable with the interace.
*Keywords – I [...]
Just a quick post as I get ready to complete the registration for our state conference in October. With economic constraints, going to conferences isn’t as easy as it used to be.
