TARGET: Workshop suggestions for introducing online databases

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

I am preparing a workshop for teachers to introduce them to our online
databases (which includes SIRS, Ebsco Host, Electric Library, Newsbank, and
Proquest).  Previously, I have just taken people through the steps of
searching on a topic in two or more of the databases and then just pointing
out some of the special features for teachers (lesson plans, etc).  However,
I think that perhaps there might be a more interesting way to conduct the
workshop.

If you have done such workshops, and have found an interesting way of
introducing them to the databases and their features, would you mind sharing
it?

Thanks.
