Tenn-Share DataFest and Fall Conference

The DataFest is a great way to get some first-hand knowledge of new (and existing) databases.  Also, note that there will be TEL training going on during the day too, so if you’re feeling a little rusty or want to learn about the newest additions, be sure to register!

Also, it’s the big debut of Volunteer Voices, the statewide digitization project that’s been going on for the last couple of years.  Come to the Gala and learn all about how *your* library can get involved in keeping Tennessee’s local history alive and accessible to all!

Here’s the latest information from DeAnne Luck, the Tenn-Share Database Coordinator:

Don’t forget to register for the Tenn-Share DataFest, an electronic resource showcase held Thursday, September 11th at Nashville Public Library.  FREE online registration is available at http://www.tenn-share.org/?p=148

On the web site you’ll also see our list of vendors and products, which is almost complete.  Recent additions include:

• Oxford University Press – Oxford Islamic Studies
• Scholastic – Grolier Online and BookFlix
• ProQuest – eLibrary Science and CultureGrams
• Gale – Global Issues in Context
• NewsBank – America’s Newspapers Featuring 30 Tennessee Sources

As you can see, we have something for everyone!  Please see the rest of the products that will be demonstrated on the web site.

Training on all the TEL databases will also be offered in the 10:00-5:00 time frame.  A complete schedule for the day will be available soon.

I hope you will stick around after the DataFest for the Gala reception at 5:30 (see http://www.tenn-share.org/?p=147) and the Tenn-Share Fall Conference on Friday (see http://www.tenn-share.org/?p=149).
