Digital Library Resources for Authors
Having been outed as a public librarian, I've suddenly been doing all kinds of things for my SCBWI chapter. Which, honestly, is just terrific. It makes me feeling knowledgeable and connected in a way I don't usually have the opportunity to feel.
First came the presentation for my local network, which resulted in this post about this reasons to know your librarian and this list of public library resources for authors. In June, I'll be doing an extended in-the-library presentation for a different, local, not-exclusively-children's writer's organization.
And as of today, you can read my article Digital Library Resources for Authors in the spring issue of The Prairie Wind. It opens with a discussion of subscription databases in general (what they are, how to use them, etc.), and then describes several of my favorite common ones. I had so much to say that I'm saving discussion of print resources for a future issue.
Fun!
