Gale Products Sport Enhanced Features
INSPIRE products affected include Biography Resource Center (coming later this month) and the Science Resource Center, (now Science In Context). Additional information about the upgrade, including an extensive FAQ list, is available on the In Context website. The most notable changes include: The State Library's Professional Development Office (PDO) will introduce the new Science In Context portal during online webinars scheduled in the coming weeks. The free webinars highlight all of INSPIRE's new products including Science In Context and are worth one (1) LEU. Gale also provides an overview of its new platform on the In Context website. Adventure Leading to Exquisite Ending The Library of Congress took the practice to a whole new level this past year and is now featuring episode 24 of 26 in the series. In conjunction with their Read.gov website, the LOC is providing a story written by several well-known children’s authors like Lemony Snickett, Jon Sciezka, Natalie Babbitt, and Kate DiCamillo, among many others. Unlike traditional exquisite corpse stories, each writer is writing a whole chapter, not just one line. They are also being paired with a different children’s illustrator each time. The Exquisite Corpse Adventure truly must be seen to believe. You and your young patrons can catch up on every episode and follow along online as it progresses to an exciting ending to be unveiled at the 2010 National Book Festival. Patrons Asked to Show Love for Librarians
