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.

the results of any of the following searches, just click on
