Thing 17

• How can these tools be applied to your everyday work?
• The tools are part of my media center home page. I write long thank yous and testimony of how important they are to our media center. We rely heavily on the ELM access--
• from over 70 magazine subscriptions to 10
• A social studies teacher who had 5 subscriptions each to Time, US News & World Report and Newsweek now uses the online version. Wow have we saved a lot of trees and money. And the student access is sublime.
  
• How can these tools facilitate collaboration with your colleagues?
• NetLibrary has just started to get utilized. We have a few people dabbling with audiobooks
  

• How can these tools benefit your patrons/students
• All of our research projects use these. I see students use the tools without being "assigned" to use them. I'm very proud of how we utilize this system.
