THING 11
Library and Reference: I explored the ELM databases mobile site and did some searching in Alt. Health. I found this to be very easy to find quality information on a topic of interest. I also tried to go to the find you library link and I get a 404 error every time. This is a tremendous tool to use in the classroom where students might be using mobile devices instead of having a computer lab, etc. There is no reason for them not to be able to find credible sources through these tools. Personally, I can use it to look up anything without sifting through the mountains of hits that you get in a general search engine.
I also installed the Mackin Via app and can log in to our school's resources. This could be very helpful for students on a bus, or on a trip that would like to find a book to read on the go.
