2 SIRS Discoverer
I got a chance to play around with Discoverer today and found good information on Shaun White with a general search and found nothing under biography. The country information was very fascinating expecially with timelines, etc. which can give a great background on historical events influencing current day countries. The activities provided were very interesting and diverse. On some lists one has to wade through many articles and perhaps read them to find out if there is information on the subject or words you are looking for, which is something we're used to but the public likes it all cut and dried for them and may need help in narrowing searches, etc.

So glad you got into SIRS Discoverer and discovered what it has to offer! You made some good observations about what it does and does not do. I hope you and your patrons will find it helpful. We agree that we'd like a search function within each activity section rather than having to browse. Glad you like the country section--good info for people of all ages. People we've shown this to really like the maps, too, especially the historical and outline maps.
