Activity 8: Points of View Reference Center

• Who are some potential audiences for this database?

High School and college students plus, people on a person inquiry on a topic on interest.

• What are some ways you promote this database to a potential audience?

School and class visits, when a person is stuck in finding an interesting topic for a report or project.

• How would you teach a potential audience to use this database?

How about hosting a Point of View Challenge? Topic ideas could be submitted in a box during a tour and when ready to show the database, the topic could be drawn from the box. The database could be projected on the big screen and volunteers could take turns navigating the database. A short team report could be composed based on the research including the citation, pictures and permalinks, etc. Print it out and hand everyone a copy.
