IT Pro - Well the IT PRO collection has turned out to be one of the coolest things ever. There are so many titles listed that are relevant and interesting to me. SO MANY. I wouldn't even know where to start. I wish that there was a way to add them to my Kindle as that is how I do most of my reading now. It's nice that I can organize the books into a folder so that I can add books that I'd like to read down the road. I like that it's set up in a way that lets you search by publisher as well as subject. I really enjoy the O'reily books and it was cool to be able to look through them and see the titles Ive wanted to read for some time now.

Summary - I learned a lot in this assignment. I've used college libraries and Summit Search before, so that portion was not new to me. But the portions on IT PRO and Google books was very useful. I had never explored either of them, but have a feeling that I will be using both over and over.
