[NORTHSTAR] New Releases, New Libraries on Northstar; Northstar link on Ohio Web Library

[Christine Morris]

Greetings,

Here are a few updates on Northstar for you to share with your colleagues.

*New Assessment, New NSOL Module*

In case you missed the announcement elsewhere, you will be glad to know
that there is a brand-new assessment for Accessing Telehealth Appointments
in the section for Using Technology in Daily Life.  There is also a new
online learning module for Microsoft Excel, to accompany the assessment for
Excel.

*Upcoming Northstar Developments*

Northstar is also working on Spanish language translations for online
assessments, with the first Spanish language assessment expected to be
available in early summer.  Full mobile compatibility is also in
development and expected to be available soon.

*New Libraries on Northstar*
