In Class: Two spreadsheets reviewing charts and graphs

Homework:

Ebook Spreadsheet

Go to the Trinity Coates Library website and do a search for books in full-text electronic form on one of these subjects:

• Digital Photography

• Desktop Publishing

• Creating Web Sites

• Gourmet Cooking

Choose five books from those returned in your search to review briefly. You may use books that are related to those search terms. If you have trouble, use the online Ask A Librarian.

• Open the spreadsheet titled electronicsources.xlsx and fill in the information under the heading columns.

• Use the Wrap Text option when the information is long. (Hint: you may need to reformat the ISBN number to make it display correctly.
  

• Rate the books from 1-5 in the Rating column based on whether you would use them and recommend them to a friend (1=favorite, 5=least favorite).

• In the Comment column, write a few words justifying your rating of that electronic book.

• Finally, insert a row at the top of the spreadsheet and merge and center an appropriate title, then format the spreadsheet with fills and fonts similar (but not necessarily identical) to the example. 

• Save your completed spreadsheet in 10harris/homework/electronicsources.xlsx (do not rename or move).

• If you do not have an account with NetLibrary, create one (see below)
