A little late, but here I am.... let's discover Learning Express Library.  I'm  somewhat familiar with this resource because I've used it with our patrons - a great tool to direct our patrons to who want to expand their knowledge, improve there skills, or prepare for tests etc. There is so much material available, an exciting resource.

I decided to explore the 4th grade Reading practice: informational text 1 to see what was involved and to see how the Score section was handled. I particularly liked the View Answers section of  Score My Test, so helpful to have explained why certain answers aren't correct. I think a student (adults) would have a very positive experience working through this test and others available within Learning Express.

Within the Career Course: Job Search and Workplace Skills, I decided to investigate Job Search and Networking Skills. Again I was very impressed - a clear concise overview of the course is provided first, then detailed step-by-step one needs to do to begin a job search such as getting organized, list of possible online job sites, etc. There was a list of common abbreviations found in classified ads which I thought very helpful (which could be printed off too). Excellent. Can't wait to share this others.

For an ebook, I decided to pick Goof Proof Personal Finance. Our library will be participating in Money Smart Week in April 2013 and I thought this resource could be a good one to refer to. It has a great appendix of Online Resources & CD-Rom's referenced - I'd like to check many of them out to see it they are current and still available, noting the copyright of the book is 2005. From what I perused, the book looks like a helpful resource to reference and recommend.

So excited to have LearningExpress Library available for our patrons. I'll continue to reference this great resource and work to connect even more people with it.

I need to close for now. One database to go in my MARVELous Maine Invitational adventure, where has the time gone?
