| SPOTLIGHT
ON THE LIBRARY |
| APRIL
30, 2002
Are you an Internet user? Do you find
yourself lost on the Internet? Do you spend hours searching for the
answer to a question that you just know is out there? The library
has answers for you, and its new website has options to point you in the
right directions. Located on the World Wide Web at
www.davidahowelibrary.org, it was designed to help new and average Web
users to find information.
If you need answers immediately, try using
the library web site’s Search the Web page. You’ll find categories
of links to authoritative, helpful sites that have all been viewed and
reviewed by human beings. Maybe it’s been a long time since you played
jacks and you think those jacks you found in the basement might
entertain your grandkids. But do you remember how to play? If you look
in the library’s topic list, you’ll find Recreation & Sports.
Once you click that link, you’ll find Every Rule.com; it has rules for
jacks, other kids’ games, card games, and even etiquette. The Search
the Web page also has links to search tools that you may not have used
before like Google or the librarian’s Index to the Internet, both of
which have few or no ads to slow your search or confuse you. There are
also links to recommended sites that have directories for people,
businesses, and email addresses. Just for grins, look yourself up and
see if you’re listed. |
"Spotlight
on the Library" is a news article written by library staff and

| If you need detailed
information, you can use your library card to log into one of the online
databases on the Web Databases page. Thousands of articles from journals
and magazines – perfect for personal information or researching school
papers – can be read or printed out from your home Internet
connection. State and federal grants (your tax dollars at work) allow
the library and its patrons access to these resources.
If all of this sounds like Greek to you, you’ll
find answers on the library’s Web Tutorials page. You can get some
"Mousercize" to learn computer basics, or you can learn how to
do sophisticated research navigation from the do-it-yourself links on
this page.
And if you think you can find all the answers
on the Internet, try clicking one of the web site’s links to the
online catalog, STARCAT. Search for what’s IN the library. When you
see the books, videos, audios, CD’s and magazines that are available
on almost any topic, you may change your mind. Plus, with your library
card, you can now place a request on almost any book in the system
listed as available, and the library will call you when it comes in -
usually within a week. |

| Finally, there are
still lots of answers inside the library, and there’s nothing like
browsing the shelves for a home decorating book, an interesting World
War II history, or an entertaining mystery. The library’s web site is
exciting because it’s a resource that can be used inside and outside
the walls of the building. If you haven’t had a chance to look at the
library’s web site, now is a great time to check it out. See what’s
out there on the Web and what’s on the library’s shelves - from
home. |
