Task 3 Website Scavenger Hunt

Task 3

Task 3 was a quiz based on the Library's website. It provided a good opportunity to learn more about what is available on our website. I missed 1 out of the 15 questions. I would cut and paste the quiz into my blog, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

I focused my study on two of the sites in particular because they are ones I haven't used frequently. One was the Teen site. It is a virtual treasure trove for the kids this age. It has lots of stuff for their recreational and social interests as well as sites to help them with their school studies.

I was impressed by the Carnegie Library site. There are tons of read resources nicely organized by genres and opportunities to read or write reviews of their choices. There are quite a few choices for research sites that would be helpful to supplement their school work.

The YALSA book and media awards is a nice resource to find a good choice of books as well as media which have been predetermined to be quality. The lists have an infinity of possibilities.

The other site I focused on was the Literacy site with the Learnatest. We have many people who request study guides for GED tests. Since these print resources are so popular they are often checked out and it's nice to have an alternative available. This is a great resource for people who are job hunting too. We have many people looking for employment now and Workplace Skills can be really helpful. The citizenship test is a great thing to have on the website because we have limited print resources for that. A nice thing about having the online resource is that lots of people can access that at the same time, whereas with a book it's pretty much one at a time. Mango is great because we have limited resources for the much sought after Rosetta Stone and Mango is a free use alternative that has no access limitations.
