I think the biggest finds for me this year were Sirs Discoverer E-books and I also found many new e-resources on Gale Virtual Reference Library that I didn't know about. I also learned about some new features in the Advanced search methods that I hadn't used before. I have already put some of these finding in use as we have started our literary analysis papers in the junior and senior classes.
I will continue to promote these resources whenever I can. I work with most of our ELA classes throught the year. I try to connect with other teachers as well in using the resources.
I am also setting up a foreign-language station that will utilize the Mango database in using language resources.
A lot of wonderful resources!

Wonderful finds!!! The Ebooks in SIRS Discoverer have been hugely popular this year. They were a great addition to the resource. I love the idea to set up a foreign-language station. I've had a number of libraries report using Mango for Manga groups learning Japanese. Thank you so much for your wonderful posts through the challenge!
