Exercise 1- After creating my account with Access Science I decided to make my search on Global Warming and its effect on Antartica. The results were amazing, alot of articles some with images others with graphic tables, it made it easy for me choose one. I chose "Glacial geology and landforming", I then bookmarked it and saved it to my account. I also scrolled down to view images and added some to my saved images. Steps were very easy to follow and I think many patrons will like it too as it is easier to view information that are saved and handy and also because the search procedure was short and easy.
Exercise 2- My search in the e-resources was about flower arrangement. I did a set up to my search alert and scheduled it to send daily updates to my inbox. Within few minutes I have received confirmation that account is set and ready to deliver alerts to my e-mail address. I can also reset the expirey date if needed. So that was really cool to have an update to a subject you like and continuosly receive up to date info to your e-mail.All went well until I tried to add the URL of the feed to my Bloglines account, where the message popped up saying ' no feeds were found, please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed.' I am pretty sure that the link is correct as I used copy and paste to paste the link. But I kept getting the same error everytime so I was disappointed and couldn't go any further.
