Proquest seems like a great resource.  I searched for information about the meteor explosion over Russia that happened just this week.  I hadn't heard too much about this and was surprised at the amount of information that was pulled up when I searched.  Once again the icons are helpful in weeding the information.  I noticed that there is the ability to sort and narrow your search in various ways.   Also there are options to cite, email, and print the information.  After opening the article I chose, I also noticed the ability to translate.  I really liked the preview option, which would make looking through the information much quicker.

The blog I chose to look at was very comprehensive and detailed in what they found.  It helped me think about finding more detailed information as I research these resources.

The Publications option was interesting.  I found 26 publications liked to Library.  Once again the sorting options come in handy for finding the specific option you would need.

  1. Good work, Liberty! We love ProQuest because it has popular, trade and scholarly full-text journals 24/7/365--for free! Good work in the Publications tab, too. Did you notice that School Library Journal is there in full-text? News you can use. :) Thanks for your comments.
