Today was mostly spent doing some research to help prepare for a class orientation next week. The teacher provided a copy of the assignment, allowing for some very specific information to help the students. The databases to be suggested for use by the students are mostly the usual ones that the library promotes. I was looking for ones that they may not promote as much that may be of use. One database in particular will be useful to one of the subjects, EBSCO's GreenFILE. Though, I think that this project may be more of a test to see how well I can search for certain information rather than what will be presented to the students. It was good practice anyway.
I also spent a little time at the reference desk. I was able to answer a couple of questions this time. The first one I had almost figured out where the information was before the Librarian came over for the assist. It was just finding information on scholarships. I just went to wrong spot first (the school's financial aid department) and was about to go to the right spot on the second shot (the Library's Internet Resources page).
