Week I
I am a week behind, but managed to create a blog and then viewed the 3 tutorials. In "playing," I discovered the list of newspapers available through MARVEL. What a surprise! I could have been directing visitors to MARVEL all summer instead of apologizing sadly with, "we don't subscribe to a daily." That said, I then decided to find the today's NYT Op-Ed page. After more than 30 clicks and mounting frustration, I did find the op-ed by Thomas L. Friedman. I need to figure out how to do this much more quickly and efficiently so that I can direct patrons to the marvels of MARVEL and newspapers.
While I MARVEL at the information available to us in this wonderful resource, I too, feel frustration when trying to locate information, or in trying to save information from various portions of MARVEL. It seems each section requires a different 'workspace' or 'alert' or RSS feed account. Perhaps my participation in this Invitational will provide the experience I need to be more adept with my searches and 'saves'!
