[Tasl] TennShare Datafest--See you there?

[JoAnn Lynn]

There are lots of conferences with exhibitors but there's only ONE  
TennShare DataFest! Here you will see demonstrations of databases by  
the experts. Personally, I'm thinking of subscribing to the Grolier  
databases. I've used it a bit myself during my trial, but now I want  
to see all the bells and whistles I haven't yet found. DataFest is the  
place I can do that. Another database I'm not as familiar with as I'd  
like to be is Ebsco's Points of View. There'll be a TEL training on it  
during DataFest, as well as trainings on several other TEL databases.  
And as a new WorldCat subscriber, I plan to learn a lot in those  
sessions as well. I also think Greenwood's Pop Culture Universe and  
Ebsco's American Government sound like great resources for school  
libraries. Oh my goodness...so many resources, so little time!!! Not  
to mention FREE!!!

REMEMBER:
The DataFest is Thursday, September 11th at the Nashville Public  
Library, in conjunction with the Metro Nashville Collection  
Development Fair...2 for the price of one...and it's FREE
Please register online (remember, it’s FREE) at http://www.tenn-share.org/?p=148
There's a complete vendor/product list and schedule on the same web site
We'll have free refreshments, morning and afternoon, courtesy of the  
participating vendors
Don’t forget to stick around for the tour of NPL digitization  
facilities at 5:00, the Gala Reception at 5:30 (more food and fun!),  
and come back for the Fall Conference on Friday (more info on web  
site: http://www.tenn-share.org/)
Did I mention that it's FREE? (We poor school librarians never have  
money...at least I don't! How can your principal/head turn this down?)

I'll be looking for all my school colleagues and cohorts at the  
TennShare DataFest next Thursday!
