Lesson 4 - Proquest

1.  Lunar eclipse search:  I found 1,675 results for lunar eclipse.  After narrowing the search down to Christopher Columbus, the results dropped to 4.  The computer automatically changed the date range.  This could be helpful for patrons seeking information on a specific person and wanting the most up-to-date information available on the subject or person being researched.

1a.  I peeked in on Rhonda's Reads and Research blog and left a comment! 

2.  To help a patron find information on lotteries in different states, I would recommend they search "lotteries" and narrow the search using "location", including the states they are interested in finding the information on.

  1. Thanks for your comments, Laurie. You sound well-prepared to help find your patrons material in ProQuest.
