Library Challenge # 4 Proquest
I did a basic search in the medical field on pancreatitis and found the information in the journal articles quite difficult to understand because of the medical terminology and jargon used. I then tried to read some articles on the same topic in the magazines and found them to be much easier to read and understand. Then I decided to look up information on William Shakespeare and found many articles about his writing and his life. I found an interesting article camparing "The Taming of the Shrew" and the movie "10 Things I Hate About You." It reminded me of when we did the play in class that the students came up with that same comparison! When I clicked on the publications tab I was amazed at the number of sources that are available. I searced several in the education field and looked for information on essay writing and found a great number of articles. I kept looking and found the English Journal, which I subscribed to for many years. The number of articles for any topic seemed to be endless and I'm sure that anyone doing research would be able to find the information they would need.

Thanks for your comments, Annie. I like how ProQuest helps me search by providing suggested topics and ways to narrow my searches. We like ProQuest because it contains popular and scholarly material. Sounds as if you found some good stuff!
