Credo Instructional Videos

Credo has recently created some great new instructional videos to give students and librarians a brief tutorial on how to use some of the features of our reference database. The first two videos are about using the Concept Map, which is our data visualization took, and about using the Find a Book feature. Both of these Video Tips are short, around 2 minutes long, so they are perfect for someone who just needs a quick Credo tip. Check them out, and let us know what you think!

Training session?

How is everyone doing? I'm ready for the lesson on RSS and hope to do it this week. Should we have another training session when we get back at the first of the year. Just a question and answer session? I also wonder if we should have a refresher session on using our Outlook calendar. If I remember from our last session Lisa mentioned something about we could set up our RSS to our Outlook email? Can everyone be finished with the RSS lesson by January 7th? Do you want another training session?

Post your thoughts (please).
