Just in time for the upcoming new year, almost every BadgerLink resource has a recently updated video and/or info sheet available to learn more about the resources' features and helpful tips for finding relevant content. Whether getting acquainted with an updated interface for the first time or quickly revisiting a resource to share with library users at the reference desk or in a library program, there's something for library staff at all types of libraries.
Here are some ideas to get you started:

- Missed a live webinar from Britannica last month? Now you can view those Britannica recordings any time.
- Took the HeritageQuest survey and didn't know anything about the resource? There's a video for that.
- Took the Explora for Elementary survey and didn't know anything about the resource? There's one for that too.
- Searching for a publication title in EBSCO resources? There's an info sheet for that.
- Or for a national newspaper title in U.S. Newsstream? There's one for that too.
- Want to update the language of an article you found in a BadgerLink resource? Find the tools you need to read in over 100 languages.

And so much more! But if you aren't finding the help you need, please request a personalized training session. Who knows, it may turn in to an asynchronous offering for the future!
