Lesson 3 - Learning Express Library 

Question 1.
I set up account and have to say that they changed everything on learning express. Most of the time when companies update the databases I am excited but not so for Learning Express the new "centers" layout makes it difficult to find what you are looking for because even when you get into the center there are way too many sub menus. Will still recommend to patrons for the content but it is going to cause headaches trying to get them to where the want to be.

Question 2.
The test scoring works well. I like how they break it down so you can see how well you did, where you need to improve, and what your actual score would likely be. The fact that it list resources that would be helpful to you based on your performance is nice too.

Question 3.
Once I found the course it was very informative. I didn't know about www.onetonline.org. I will have to check that out.

Question 4.
I found an ebook on becoming a paralegal. I was impressed by how much it covered: What a paralegal does, how to find a program and pay for it, how to apply for a job. The only thing is that you couldn't click to jump to a specific chapter but that is just a small thing.

Overall Learning Express is a great resource with lots of good information. I only wish the layout was better.
