SD Library Challenge Lesson 5 - Net Library

There are pros and cons with Net Library -- so I'll just list them.


Pros - when searching SDLN titles are listed and the link just brings you to the book in the Net Library. You can then decide if you want to look at it or not. *It’s a great reference source. * Languages can easily be switched


Cons - I'm a book lover, so I like to read a copy of the book. I don’t see myself using this resource. If a parent comes in looking for a children’s book I would suggest the Tumblebooks which we subscribe to.

  1. Hi, ILL! NetLibrary is one you either like or don't. Certainly, Tumblebooks is more appropriate for kids. I think it's best for "dipping into" for research, since the Table of Contents & indexes make topics easy to find. Thanks for your comments.
