The South Dakota Library Challenge: Electronic Resources Edition was developed by the South Dakota State Library staff to introduce you to the statewide subscription electronic resources. The Electronic Resources Challenge encourages library staff to learn more about the resources that provide expanded access to information and research tools to all schools, libraries and citizens of South Dakota. It is your chance to Explore...Discover...Play!...and Learn about the statewide subscription resources and how they can be useful to you both personally and in your library. This is an opportunity for you to learn at a pace that is comfortable for you and to share your learning experience with your colleagues in the South Dakota library community.

Getting Started Lite
If this sounds a bit confusing or you have never done an independent learning program like this before, don’t worry. Once you get started, you’ll get the hang of it.
Before you get started, please take a minute to let us know how much you know about the Electronic Resources. This will help us see how well the challenge works. Tell us what you know about the Electronic Resources!
Now that you are ready to get started, here are a couple of steps to take while you complete the introductory lessons in the program:
Step 1 – Sign Up for the Challenge
Please sign up for the challenge.
Step 2 – Think PLAY!
Have you ever wondered why teenagers are so good at all this technology stuff? It’s because they spend so much time playing with it. Think about all the things you learned as a child through play; for the young, playing is learning. Unfortunately, as working adults we don’t have quite as much time to explore or experiment - or play - with things. That’s why this program encourages you to set aside a little time each day, or each week, to play with the electronic resources.
Do you have any more questions? If so, contact us. So what are you waiting for? It's time to get started on the Challenge Lite which will be released on June 1, 2015.
