Lesson 4 - Proquest

1. A basic search on something of interest to me. I chose the artist Adele! After typing her name into the search box, I was given several articles, both large and small consisting of information on both her personal and professional life.

1.a. I chose to comment on Clueless's blog. I was hoping she was truly as clueless as me when it comes to all of this! :) What I found was she was NOT clueless, and I enjoyed her views and comments. I like that she was able to use some of the lessons in the challenge to prepare for things coming up at her work!

2. I used "library" as my key word. It gave me six different options to choose from. Once I made a selection, I was given several years of issues to choose from. After choosing which year and month, I was then able to view any of the articles available in that issue. I read about the Kindle/Nook debate! Interesting reading!

  1. Hi, Laurie, great research! We like ProQuest for its breadth of coverage--popular, trade & scholarly. I like the "Suggested Topics" to help me narrow my search. We love showing you the Publication link so you can see how you can read journals cover to cover 24/7 from anywhere. Thanks for your comments.
