My final blog on my exciting MARVELous Maine Invitational adventure. Where did the time go?

My biggest discovery was really the VAST amount of information available to all Maine residents through MARVEL. I realize I've only touched the surface and need to explore the other databases not covered, but I still appreciate so much this adventure that opened my eyes, an amazing adventure I won't forgot. So excited to share what I've learned with our patrons.

Plus I have a BLOG - BML Director Tales -  oh my goodness, never thought that would happen.  I'm seriously thinking about linking my blog to our library webpage and share with our patrons my adventures through MARVEL, and other sources of information I discover along the way. Learning never stops.

I've been thinking about using our Facebook account to ask a Question (monthly or bi-monthly) and reference a MARVEL database(s) where answer may be found. Still working out this idea in my mind. My biggest challenge will be time, I'm a one-person staffed library, but I think this would be a great way to expose MARVEL to people.

Even thought about creating a bulletin board in the library, highlighting a certain MARVEL database each month. I'd also like to host workshops to introduce the databases, using the tutorials from the Maine State Library to start as I've done with Ancestry.

Thank You for my awesome adventure through the land of MARVEL. I promise to continue my exploration  of MARVEL's databases and share what I learn with our patrons.

So long!!! Maybe we'll meet again in blog-land.!
