New e-Resources

We now have access to the Wall Street Journal digital edition. Access is similar to our setups for NY Times and Washington Post digital.  You click through our link for three days of free access, then you can go through our link again to "renew."

Hellosaurus
Hellosaurus is the latest addition to hoopla's BingePass offerings (Binge Passes allow you unlimited access to a resource for a period of time with just one of your monthly hoopla borrows.)  Hellosaurus is an award-winning interactive video platform that empowers kids to be active participants in every story.  Geared towards children aged 2-8, Hellosaurus puts kids in their favorite shows, featuring titles like The Wiggles, Love, Diana, Kidz Bop, and Lalo's Lunchbox.   Access works best when you open the hoopla app on your mobile device, check out the Hellosaurus BingePass, and are then automatically directed to open or download the Hellosaurus app.

GetSetUp 
GetSetUp is a social learning platform for individuals 50+, taught by peers who are experts in their field. The resource hosts live online classes covering digital learning, physical health, mental health, social health, and vocational health. First time users must create a free account using their email address. Classes are taught in English, Spanish, Hindi and Mandarin.  This resource is funded by the State of California.

Extended coverage for LA Times and LA Sentinel digital archives
Our date range coverage for two of our ProQuest historical periodical databases has expanded--we now have access to the LA Times Historical 1881-2014 and the LA Sentinel Historical  1934-2010.  These searchable archives provide users with a digitized image of the print edition.
