Please take a look at the new ELM offerings for January – April 2013, and get creative! You could use some of these free webinars to help raise awareness and help teachers/librarians/paras get their feet wet in using the databases. Then, when they start using them for specific needs, and have more in-depth questions, you can be the in-house expert! You could also consider hosting a viewing party for some of these webinars! Maybe you need a refresher or want to learn something new; that works well too with this free, accessible content! The link at the bottom will get you to more in depth descriptions and registration information!
