Task #3 Intro to MasterFile

The most recent article I found specifically comparing smart phones was "Smart phones," published in the September 2010 issue.

"More Blues for Music" is an article I found on the first page of results from the 1/9/92 issue of "Rolling Stone." I hope to win the gift card :)

P.S.
I just learned that the September 2010 issue is not the one with the sought after article for "best" and "smart phones." This is when the reference interview would come in handy. I see (and originally saw) the articles, "Find the Best Fit" and "Best phones and plans" from Jan 2011, but the descriptions refer to the best plans according to users' desires and the best deals, not strictly a comparison of phones, as I interpretted the "patron's" question.
Me to patron: "Is this what you wanted to find, or are you looking for other information on smart phones?"

Task #2 Website Scavenger Hunt

By taking a closer look at the web site, I discovered that logging into your account is clear throughout our site. I also learned that the Polk Directories are now in the history room, something which has changed since I previously worked on public service desks. The one question I answered incorrectly was about the link for help regarding error messages on the Downloadable Media guide. I saw we get troubleshooting help from Arlington, VA and didn't look more closely. When I got my results, I went back to the site and looked around until I found the correct link.

I was a little surprised by the answer choices for the series question and have my own question to other staff members about this. The quiz asks about the "databases" but the answer includes KDL. It seems the database is actually "What's Next" and is provided by Kent Library District. Are staff members referring to this service as "KDL" when talking to the public? I think this is confusing, as the logo and service is clearly marked as "What's Next." Just checking in with all of you about "library lingo" and whether or not this is something we need to watch.

Task #1: Create a blog

After taking a break from Webolution, I'm returning with a new look, title, and basic profile (my introduction to my fellow bloggers).

I'd like to be entered into the drawing for the gift card.
