Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center

As a crochet enthusiast, I was so excited to see the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center added to our database collection. Full text PDF scans of entire crochet books by Margaret Huber, Kim Werker and Edie Eckman? Yes, please! Not to mention patterns and articles from Interweave Crochet and other mags, this database is a treasure just waiting to be explored.

I also found articles on crochet in the Health Reference Center, covering crochet as therapy and crochet projects for patients. There were also plenty of images of high fashion crochet, granny square projects, and people holding yarn and hook in EBSCOHost’s Image Collection.

These would all make great sources for a student doing a research project and goes to show the range of coverage offered by our database collection.

 

Sig file

This is the signature I attach to all outgoing mail. While it does have the SAPL tagline, I chose to have it in Spanish. One issue I had with using Spanish is that I couldn’t figure out how to add the accents. I sort of cheated and used Word to write it out, then copied and pasted the line into Outlook.

Pin to Task Bar

Along with Millennium, I like to pin Outlook, Chrome, and SAM to my task bar. These are programs I use every day, so I like to have them handy.

Snipping Tool!

I’d never used the Snipping Tool before, but I can see how it could be used to send screen shots to someone, via email. Like when I want to share something that Millennium or SAM is doing that isn’t quite right, now I can take a screen shot of it to show, instead of trying to describe it.
