I have recently had two questions about the EBSCOhost workshop
scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday 11/21, so let me give you some
information about the session in case there are others who have
questions.
EBSCOhost is a periodical index covering 3000 titles, of which 1000
titles have the full text online. It is accessed over the Internet.
EBSCOhost is available FREE to all MOREnet members, including those
associate or affiliate members part of the DESE and REAL projects.
You may also subscribe on an individual basis if you are not a
MOREnet member.
At St. Charles County Community College we have EBSCOhost as an
option on all of our public access workstations. Students love it.
They prefer it over our inhouse CD-Roms because it includes full
text. (By the way, if you also subscribe to other EBSCO CD-Rom
products such as Academic Abstracts, Business Source, CINAHL. etc,
EBSCO will give MOREnet members a 30% discount on these
products). You can access EBSCOhost using telnet, windows, or the web.
The workshop will cover search strategies to get the most out of
using EBSCOhost.
In addition, the workshop will cover EBSCOadmin. THIS IS NEW. You can
now enter your local holdings so that even though you are searching
on the EBSCO mainframe in Massachusetts, your patrons will know which
titles you have in your library. You can also customize your search
interface with EBSCOadmin. If you want to have a seperate workstation
in the children's section which only searches Primary Search, a
subset of 31 journals appropriate for children, and you want an easy
search screen, you can now do this.
As of Tuesday we had 56 people registered. There is a max of 70 so
there should still be room, but please call the SLRLN office at 965-
1305 to register.
The workshop is Thursday, November 21
1:30-3:30
St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley
Instructional Resources Room 112
