As a cataloger I mostly work with technology in order to add to or edit information on our online catalog. I am also involved in adding pages to and editing information on our library's web page. As a reference librarian I mostly search for information using technology. Besides providing an online catalog and a gateway to the Internet, our library subscribes to over 20 databases, most of them accessing electronic journals. A good deal of the challenge of reference work for me is trying to keep up with what is continually changing in information technology.

There are pictures, maps, and lots more information and the students enjoy the exploration.
