Thing #23

The Florida Electronic Library is a vast library with numerous databases to explore.  I chose to explore the “Books and Authors” database.  From there, I selected “Award Winners,” then I searched for “Newbery Medals” and was able to see the entire award winners list from 1922, when the awards began, through 2011.  I thought it was pretty amazing that I could view the list dating back to 1922.  For everyday use, I could see one using the Florida Electronic Library as a reference tool to search all different kinds of subjects, such as the search I performed.  Patrons could use this website the same way, for reports, research and further expanding their knowledge of all this website has to offer.

  1. The FEL is a great resource for staff and patrons -- love that patrons can use from home! All they need is a library card!
