ESBSCO Admin
EBSCO Admin is the administrative tool for your ESCOhost products. In this two-hour session, we will review how to customize EBSCOhost settings to increase the functionality of your EBSCOhost  resources. Otehr topiccs that will also be covered include:
Authentification
  • Reports and Satistics
  • Linking to other online resources from EBSCOhost
  • Database title lists 
LexisNexis
In response to your request, LexisNexis trainer Beth Bigman is returning to SC for in-person training on Wednesday May 14.  A session description is below.  The session will be offered twice during the day: from 9 am to 11 am, with a repeat session form 1 pm to 3 pm.  Beth's lsat classes in 2006 were thorough and very well-attended.  Both sessions will be held at Thomas Cooper Library at USC.  
 
Lexisnexis requires a minimum of 15 attendees for in-person training.  Many USC reference librarians will present during the morning session, so afternoon signups are appreciated.  I think with USC's help, we shuld be able to have at least 15 people in each session.  Please register by emailing Kathy at  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
