About this demonstration This demo illustrates how a librarian can take a shareble learning object and customize for local use. Because Open Medicine is fully open access (uses the Creative Commons / Attribution License), permission to use their work is not an issue! Viewing the whole demonstration should take about 3 minutes.

INSERT SLIDE(S) HERE The demo starts with OutLook OnLine. Before your demo goes into OutLook OnLine, you might want to add YOUR OWN title slide - with your name and your own library logo, and a slide or two illustrating your library’s website, and how patrons can get to OutLook OnLine.
