Open Source Information

Since joining OCLS, I know of more online resources (databases, ebooks, downloadable audio) than I did before. I also recommend these different resources to patrons who are pleased to hear that they can access many of these resources from home. As information becomes more open source, I think information professionals will have to help patrons identify reputable sources and recommend appropriate search strategies that guarantee more accurate results.

Hi New Librarian!

Great post - it amazes me how much OCLS offers to the community online! I wish other libs offered the same.
