#11 Todd's Tuesday Tech Tip: Using Alexandria in Your Pajamas, and How to Preview the 175 New Books in the Collection!

Okay, so hopefully I got your attention with the Pajamas reference.  Seriously however, this week's tip will teach you how to access our library's resources from anywhere you have an internet connection.  

Yesterday we added over 175 new NONFICTION titles.  You can preview some of these HERE.  We didn't have time to give you a preview of them in the faculty meeting, but they are on display

It all starts with the Hubbard Woods Resource Center Page; your 'one stop shop.'  




See that stack of books on the bottom left side?  Click on that.

That will take you to our 'online catalog,' which is called Alexandria.



Click on researcher and you now have access to all 27,000 titles in the Resource Center.  

Because I know that we added many new titles about the Pony Express, I used that as our search term.  


From here, you can see what titles are available.  Many of the titles allow you to see the cover of the book and some even let you take a look inside.  See something you want to check out?  Let us know, we would be happy to help you get the resources you need for your classroom.

There are a plethora of phenomenal resources at your fingertips.  You can even discover them in your pajamas!

Sincerely,
Todd and the RC Crew
