Wauconda Area Senior
Resource Guide is now online! |
|
Announcing
the New Web-Based
Wauconda Area
Senior Resource Guide
The
Wauconda Area
Senior Resource Guide is
now available as a user-friendly, web-based
directory. This online guide not only
provides phone numbers for many local resources of
interest to seniors, but also provides the links
to the various appropriate web sites or web
pages.
The
Senior Coalition, a subgroup of the
United Partnership for a Better Community,
compiled the original data that was used to
produce their printed version of the Senior
Resource Guide which has been distributed
throughout the Wauconda Area community.
The Senior Coalition and area individuals sought
to provide our community with a resource guide
of local services and programs for senior residents
and their caregivers.
The Wauconda Area Library has volunteered to
establish and maintain the web pages associated
with the
Senior Resource Guide.
These web pages are powered by
NorthStarNet, an innovative web-hosting service
made available by the North Suburban Library
System for free to all Wauconda
Area community organizations by the Wauconda
Area Library through the North
Suburban Library System. We hope this
information will aid in the care and well-being
of our senior community and will have a positive
impact on their daily lives.
Not for Seniors Only!
Although intended as an outstanding resource for
seniors and caregivers, this guide is a valuable
reference tool for all adults. Be sure to
check it out!

Cool New Tool
for Library Users
|
A9.com,
a new spin-off from Amazon.com, helps users
discover information from several different
sources, making it easy to manage and
organize their search results, and remembering
what they have done in the past.
A9.com offers
users search results from five powerful
information sources, which are presented through
convenient selectable and adjustable columns:
Web and image search provided by Google, book
text of more than 100,000 titles from Amazon.com's Search Inside The Book(TM), movie
information from the Internet Movie Database,
and reference information (encyclopedia,
dictionary, etc.) through GuruNet.com.
Additionally, A9.com is a search engine with a
memory as it returns results from the user's
information, so with every search, users will
see results from their own history, bookmarks,
and diary.
Every time
a user returns to
A9.com and is signed in to
their free account, the site recognizes them,
remembers what they searched in the past and
displays features that help them manage and
organize their information.
To see the results of any of the following
searches, just click on it:
