[Wactclc-alma] EBSCO PrepStep

[Devereux, Saint-Jean]

I can't offer an informed opinion on it, but we do have PrepStep at Shoreline.

There were some issues with setting up authentication.

We haven't made it discoverable via Primo as a database, or by loading the MARC records.

Our patrons may not have had a chance to be impressed yet.

v/r,

Hi Dan:



We looked at it very carefully a couple of years ago, and shared a trial of it with our counseling and basic education  (now College & Career Bridge) faculty. They reviewed it, seemed impressed (except for some criticism of the Spanish-language test prep materials from Spanish-speaking faculty), but not impressed enough to help the library pay for it. So, we let it slide and haven’t revisited it…

Does anyone subscribe to PrepStep? If so, what do you think of it?
