Greensboro Campus Lunch'N'Learn

First ever at the Greensboro Campus!
What: Proquest Career and Technical Education Database
What is a database, and why would I care? In library land, and for the purpose of this Lunch'N'Learn, it means a large collection of trade, academic, and general magazines with copyrighted articles in their complete form, unavailable via the general Internet (unless you pay) but available to you free through your library.
Where-Greensboro Campus, Technical Education Building (TEC), Room 123, for the presentation, followed by lunch in TEC 130 :)
When-Friday, 3/14-Program to start at 11:30, followed by lunch
What will be covered - This Lunch and Learn Opportunity will cover use of the ProQuest Career and Technical Education Database, a database designed with community college students, those in our going into trades, and faculty in mind. Topics to be covered include:
*Accessing the database.
*Conducting Basic, Advanced, Subject Browse, and Publications Searches.
*Use of the Set-Up Alert feature.
