RELIB Staff Day 2014

Full Name: Connie Savage
Library System: Ruth Enlow Library of Garrett County

Top 3 things learned:

  • I have not yet worked with any questions on Lexile so the presentation explained where to look up Lexile scores and explained how the system worked. After the presentation I was able to talk to a colleague who has children and is familiar with Lexile reader and text so if I had any questions her knowledge is available.
  • The Genealogy 101 session gave book suggestions for further information with search techniques. A new site for me was PERSI which I think will be very useful. 
  • Mary Mannix went over a lot of good information that would help the beginner and seasoned genealogy hunters.

How to implement:

Mary's information will help with questions on genealogy with book titles and web sites that patrons may not familar with. The Lexile information will also be helpful with parent/child questions.

Additional learning: 
The topics that were covered was explained well. It was good to find the colleagues that have worked with the topics so if any questions arise they might be available to help.
