Proquest

Because it took so long for me to get going I am doing a few lessons at once-an afternoon off from work helps. My subject is volcanic eruptions which led me to 105 documents with 7 more suggested topics. I emailed one article home and tagged another article, easy. Volcano found even more documents, especially about Iceland's eruptions.
At publications I went down the alphabet and picked Canadian Public Policy in the Chicago Review and found a book review in the spring volume. Good Housekeeping's July edition led me to "15 Ways to use Balsamic Vinegar". The School Library Journal of New York gave me an article about the new cell phone apps and the author's opinion of the phone may replace the computer. I need a little more practice on Proquest to get my information.

You may think you need more practice, but your remarks show that you did just fine. We like ProQuest because it is a good all-purpose full-text journal resource. It's broad coverage ranges from Good Housekeeping to scholarly material, and it greatly expands the magazine section of your library. Thanks for your comments.
