[ISLMA-Share] ProQuest SIRS and Chromebooks

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We use EasyBib instead of Noodletools, and SIRS is exporting to EasyBib just fine.  

We had some better success this afternoon when we restarted the Chromebooks and browsed as guests rather than the kids logging in to their Chromebooks.  ProQuest has also provided me with embedded URLs to assist with the initial connection.  My MacBook was glitching sometimes this afternoon, but the Chromebooks 7th hour didn’t stall out.  Hopefully we are making progress.

While I love the new updates that make it easier to save and export articles, I would love it more if it wasn’t kicking my students out of the site about every third topic or article that they opened.  These problems appear to be mostly when working with Chrome as my library computers with Firefox and Safari don’t seem to be experiencing the same problems.
