Whenever my husband has the crew raising the sails on the American Eagle, he directs the boys on the throat and the peak when to haul away. The passengers who are willing lend a hand which can be a little bit exhausting and involves pulling hand over hand...and NOT backing up. John thinks it is hilarious to yell "Halfway there!" to the perspiring volunteers when they are actually very close to done. 'Nuff said.
Exploring some of the offerings of MARVEL gave me a chance to dabble a bit in areas in which I was not necessarily comfortable. I think my most positive experience was using Ancestry.com at the public library. That was totally fun and made me much more interested in all the time my dear husband spends online researching his ancestors. (Up until my Ancestry experience, I would just say, "Looking up more dead people, dear? Pretty sure they're still dead.") Seeing the actual documents connected to my father-in-law and my own grandfather was pretty exciting, and I hope I'll be able to get my husband to Rockport Public Library to do some more exploring on his own. (Way back when we were expecting children, he suggested that if we had a girl we name her "Bovina," an old family name. Not on my watch!)
I am pretty psyched to continue using MARVEL's 3 M's as I call them: Middle Search Plus, MasterFile Premier, and MAS Ultra. These are our main access to magazine articles at this point. With budget cuts, our little school library doesn't get a single print subscription. In addition, the Consumer Health database is a goldmine for health classes. We use ERIC on a regular basis to investigate education research, best practices, etc. And I will continue to encourage my munchkins at the middle school to use the Britannica Online School Edition K12 because the entries are on 3 reading levels and the Works Cited is at the bottom of every entry...not to mention the wealth of connected media files.
So, many many thanks to the good folks of our wonderful state library for putting on the Marvelous Maine Invitational and encouraging us to make better use of this incredible resource. Strength in numbers!

Week 9 LearningExpress
Posted November 25, 2012 by marvelousmaineSunday November 25, 2012 - Learning Express
1. and 2. I set up an account in Learning Express and sampled the Reading Comprehension test in the GED Prep section. I only answered a few questions, but the test seemed very straightforward, and the scoring was very specific iwith Analysis, Application, Comprehension, and Synthesis all scored. I used to be the Adult. Ed. librarian, and having this tool would have saved many of our students countless hours...although there is no substitute for having a person right there when you are taking practice tests.
3. Job searching and resume writing are among the self-paced courses in LearningExpress. Click on the “Job Search and Workplace Skills” learning center and add one of the courses to your center. Take a few minutes to explore the course and note your observations.
Today a parent of a former student stopped by. She was rather upset that her son who had just graduated in June from a good college with a degree in molecular biology could not find a job in his field. Perhaps the Job Search center will offer him some tips!
I signed up for the course and explored Maine's Job Bank Career Plus. When I searched molecular biology, I came up with several possibilities, many of them at Jackson Lab in Bar Harbor. I'm calling his mom tonight!
4. I naturally search librarian and then library, but there weren't many hits! Next I tried Information Technology, and there were tons of hits. I downloaded an eBook called Write Your Way Into College SAT Essay. Great! 163 page book downloaded and opened in a flash. Nice! Lots of good information. Will be a useful tool for my students.
Week 8 Genealogy Resources—Ancestry Library
Posted November 18, 2012 by marvelousmaine
Great connection here at Rockport Public Library!
Discovery Exercise:
1.I found myself in the Ancestry Library. It lists my correct birthdate and my mailing addresses from past years from the U.S. Public Records Index. The latest address is from 1993. (This shows how often the Post Office and town of Rockport change our street address! We've had 4 addresses in 22 years and have never moved!
2. I searched for my maternal grandmother and found here in the 1940 U.S. Federal Census. My grandfather was listed as well as my uncle and my mom who was 10 at the time! Cool!
I looked up my paternal grandfather and found him with his name misspelled as well as my grandmother, aunt, their border, and my dad...all with the name Peace instead of Pease. Guess the census worker wasn't very sharp.
3. In Ancestry Library, perform a search under the “Photos and Maps” tab for “Maine” as the keyword. Report your findings.
There are lots of images of professional baseball players from Maine! Who'da thunk it!
Yearbook images, too. I found my grandfather was the Vice-President of his Univ. of Maine Law School class when he was 20! I was able to send the image from the yearbook to my dad, too. Very easy to use. Amazing.
My husband is a dedicated follower of dead people in our families, and he is going to want to move right into the public library. Watch out Rockport Public!

Week 10 EbscoHost Family of Databases and Ebsco eBooks
Sunday, December 2, 2012Discovery Exercise
Create a blog post discussing the following questions and other observations you have about EbscoHost . All resources can be accessed via thisalphabetical list.
To find the answer to what foods contain zinc, I used Health Source - Consumer Edition.
There were several likely articles to explore, and I chose these two:
- Title:
- Zinc can help you think. Health (Time Inc. Health), 1059938X, Sep2005, Vol. 19, Issue 7
- Database:
- Health Source - Consumer Edition
HTML Full Text
Could a little bit of extra zinc be enough to keep you focused during a boring staff meeting? Probably not. (My comment on this: "Too bad.") But a new study in children suggests the mineral might help heighten brain power.
Kids who drank a juice fortified with 20 milligrams of zinc--twice their daily requirement--saw their scores on attention, memory, and reasoning tests rise by 12 percent, while kids who drank juice with 10 mg or no zinc showed few gains.
That difference could have a real impact on learning, says author James Penland, PhD, of the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
As for you, Penland says studies in adults are few but unanimous: Grown-ups also do better on memory and perception tests after taking zinc, whether or not they get the recommended 10 mg daily (25 percent of adults don't).
The mineral is found in meat, beans, yogurt, peanut butter, and cereal; it appears to be involved in transmitting signals in the brain throughout life, Penland says.
If you try a supplement, choose zinc gluconate because it's the easiest to absorb. But don't exceed 40 mg a day; experts say that can weaken your immunity.
A second article in the result list named other Zinc-rich foods:
MINERALS in human nutrition
IMMUNE system
DNA -- Synthesis
NUCLEIC acids
IMMUNOLOGY
Ebsco eBooks (formerly NetLibrary)
Discovery Exercise:
1. Do a search for a topic that interests you.
As a breast cancer survivor, I was interested to see what books were available through Ebsco eBooks on that topic. I was disappointed to find that most of the titles were over 12 years old. Not very helpful with all the recent research and changes in treatments.
Next I searched for books on cats. Pets are always a popular nonfiction topic
with my middle schoolers. Again, titles are not current with 2003 being the most recently published. However, there are several PowerKids Press books on
cats which kids, especially 5th graders, would like. From the one on Maine Coon Cats I learned that a Maine Coon won Best in Show in 1895 in the cat show at Madison Square Garden. My own Maine Coon cat was very interested in this fact, and he said he wasn't at all surprised. My short-haired 19-year old
tabby said this was insulting to his breed and chased the Maine Coon out of the room. Oh, children.

2. Constitution Day is looming and several students need more material. Search NetLibrary and recommend some appropriate titles.
Pretty heavy going here. I searched United States Constitution. I hope these are high school kids! Here are the two titles I uncovered:
Representing Popular Sovereignty : The Constitution in American Political CultureBy: Levin, Daniel Lessard. In: SUNY Series, American Constitutionalism. State University of New York Press. 1999. eBook. 289p.

- State Constitutions of the United StatesBy: Maddex, Robert L. Congressional Quarterly. 1998. eBook. 557p.
- Subjects:
- Constitutional law--United States--States; Constitutions--United States--States
- Again, no recent titles. Hmmmm...
- I tried United States AND Constitution AND history and made out a little better, but it is still material for older, more sophisticated readers.
3. A class is doing projects on Western history. They have exhausted the library’s print collection. In NetLibrary, click “Advanced Search.” In the Publisher box, type “Nebraska” or “Oklahoma.” Report your findings.
When searching for a publisher from Nebraska, it was interesting to see that not only did the Univ. of Nebraska publish books on the history of that area but also on other topics far and wide, including desertion by troops from GA during the Civil War, philosophy, and more. The titles relating to the area included:

Sunday November 18, 2012
With nearly 75% of Americans interested in family history, and history required in schools, genealogy and local history information is in demand. The State Library provides Ancestry Library as a link to the past to help students and patrons. This resource offers access to historical books, census records, indexes and more. Be careful—once you start exploring, you might join the family history craze (if you haven’t already!)
Ancestry Library contains over 4000 different searchable databases and indexes. In addition to census information, you can find historical maps, yearbooks and indexes. One of Ancestry Library’s best features is their continuous index updating and additions, so if you don’t find something today, check back in a few weeks. Here are several ways to find out more–three shorttutorials provided by the Maine State Library, a two minute video and sample searches provided by Ancestry Library. Due to contract restrictions, Ancestry Library is available only inside your public library.
Discovery Exercise:
Create a blog posting discussing the following questions and other observations you have about Ancestry Library. This resource can be accessed via this alphabetical list.
1. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be dead to be listed in Ancestry Library and can frequently find useful information in the U.S. Phone and Address Directories, 1993-2002. You may even find your marriage license. Search for your own name in Ancestry Library and report the results.
2. In Ancestry Library, search for a grandparent or great-grandparent and see if you can locate them in the census. Report your findings.
3. In Ancestry Library, perform a search under the “Photos and Maps” tab for “Maine” as the keyword. Report your findings.

Health Source – Consumer Edition
1. In Health Source – Consumer Edition, click on the Publications link at the top of the page and explore the types of magazines and journals indexed in the database.
It appears that there are a lot of one-shot books or articles indexed as well as major health publications, but I'm puzzled as to how to access the text of these. For example, there is a publication on Rohypnol (the date rape drug) which give the URL of the publisher and says it is available full text, but I couldn't access it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I get nothing when I click on full text. Hmmm...

HTML Full Text2. Search for a disease or condition, such as diabetes. Sort your results by the most current publication date by clicking on the ‘Relevance Sort’ option.
I looked up ADHD, sorted by date, and read an article which explained the investigation into whether or not dyes in foods could cause ADHD. Evidently the evidence is pretty slim.
3. Pick one of the articles you found and read through the full text. Was the article written in terms you could understand without consulting a medical dictionary?
I read a hysterical article which refuted many of the current "miracle" cures on the market. It was very frank and the language was simple and to the point. Guess infomercials are lousy sources of good medical products.

1. Go to Medline Plus
2. Look at a few of the links on the main page. What’s in the news column on the right side?
- Common Antidepressants Tied to Higher Bleeding Risk in Warfarin Users
- Does Black Tea Reduce Diabetes Risk?
- HPV Vaccine May Benefit HIV-Infected Women

4. Click on “Health Topics” and search for the same disease or condition you looked at in Health Source. How does the information in MedlinePlus differ from that in Health Source?
Medline Plus has a very easy to read overview on ADHD and then additional links, some to articles in Spanish. I think this would be super useful to parents seeking to understand a disease...
In Health Source, it seems as if the information is in the form of research journal articles and may not be as concrete and easy to read as the info. in Medline Plus.
5. Look at the list of videos available by clicking on “Videos and Cool Tools” tab. Pick one video and launch it so you have an idea of what a patron would experience. What did you think of the video?

My daughter had an arrhythmia of the heart and recently had surgery to correct it. I watched part of a video called
Electrophysiological Study and Catheter Ablation with 3D Mapping (Mercy Hospital, Miami, FL, 11/15/2007) which was about an hour long and graphic but informative. What a cool way to learn about certain procedures!
Week 6!
Business Source Complete
1. Do a search for available information on FM radio. Pay attention to the types of sources found.
Whoa, lots of technical stuff surfaced. However, I was intrigued with an article which said that many talk-based traditionally AM stations (sports, all-news, etc.) are heading to FM because of the sound quality and the broader audience for FM. For some reason, AM radio hasn't been on my radar for ages...not since I was a teenager back in the, um, late 60s and early 70s. I actually didn't realize that most of the programming there is talk-based, not music. Duh.
2. Look for the visual search option and try it. Does it make searching easier or harder?
Visual search was pretty slow to load on my computer at home and seemed pretty confusing. I played with it for a while but didn't really get the advantages. I have to admit, I am the "try it first, then read up on it if I can't figure it out" type of learner. So off to the Help section which made the Visual Search much clearer. This time when I searched "fm radio" I looked at both the column and the block displays. I found the block display to be easier to use, especially to see the article titles without having to scroll way to the bottom of the screen. I also filtered by date for the most current results. Nifty.

EconLit
1. Complete a search to find resources for small business owners.
I did a search for "marketing Maine" and was pleasantly surprised to find articles written by economics experts in other countries on Maine potatoes and lobsters!
2. Complete a search for items that pertain to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and small businesses.
This is a subject close to my heart and wallet, since my husband's schooner business and small shipyard must conform to lots of government environmental regulations...wastewater management, runoff from cleaning boat hulls on the marine railway, paint disposal, etc. I was interested to find a study which said that the larger the business the higher the expenditure per unit for pollution abatement: "We model establishments' PAOC intensity--that is, their pollution abatement operating costs per unit of economic activity--as a function of establishment size, industry, and year. Our results show that PAOC intensity increases with establishment size. We also find that larger firms spend more per unit of output than do smaller firms."
Becker, Randy A., Carl, Jr. Pasurka, and Ronald J. Shadbegian. "Do Environmental Regulations Disproportionately Affect Small Businesses? Evidence From The Pollution Abatement Costs And Expenditures Survey." (2012): 35 pages. EconLit. Web. 12 Nov. 2012.
3.Complete a search for items that pertain to tax policy and small businesses.
Here's another subject which hits close to home. I found an article entitled: Can State Tax Policies Be Used to Promote Entrepreneurial Activity?
Evidently Mainers believe that they can! Recent legislation has now exempted Maine windjammers from having to pay sales tax on supplies directly related to the operation of the vessels. This has just gone into effect.
Regional Business News
1. Pick a nationally known company. Search under the company’s name and look at the results.
Being a Mac addict, I searched under Apple to read up on the change of leadership in the company.
It seems as if the decision to change leadership was well founded, and I learned some of the reasons why from a very direct article. I also learned the term "skeuomorphism," the inclusion of certain design elements that were once functional but remain simply for decoration
2. Narrow the regional search to something more appropriate for this area of the country.
Searching under Maine and technology, I was immediately envious to learn that Verizon has expanded to 4G internet services in Augusta and Waterville. Come on, Verizon! The midcoast is waiting! And you promised! Jealous.
3. Choose a Maine company to see what information is available about either the company or its industry.
Although it is based in Canada, I searched TD Bank and was pleased to see that the bank has been planting trees from Maine to Florida, cutting down on paper use, and encouraging summer reading for kids! Way to go!

Value Line
I was interested to read that sales of seasonal beer brews are outpacing regular beer sales. We recently toured the Sam Adams Brewery outside of Boston, and we are fans. Looks as if their seasonal offerings are paying off.
I love the phrase used in Value Line when your search is unsuccessful: Try to relax constraints above.
I'm trying!
3. Pick a well-known stock such as Starbucks, General Motors, Apple, etc., and do a company search using either the general search box at the top of the page or “company look up.”
Glad to see that Apple has a financial strength rating of A++. In their full report, the opening line is "Apple is still king of the hill." Talk about a positive outlook!
Wall Street Journal
Couldn't resist searching for Apple iPhone 5 to see what the buzz is all about. Apparently there are several key features which other phones offer, and Apple needs to step up to be competitive against the android phones. Bill payment and sharing media (near-field communication) are lacking. I think I'll wait for the next incarnation!
Still, sales are strong!

1. Using the advance search feature, look for articles on small business and health care.
Lots of articles on why Romney lost the presidential election...
2. Look at how the results are returned and the suggested limiters offered by the site. What might a small business person be interested in?
I sorted by date, most recent to least. It seems as if timeliness is key.
I read an interesting and very clear article about the impact of the health care act on small business:
