This part of the assignment was actually fun from the start. By the time I got to this part, I was feeling much more positive about the whole Proquest experience.
I searched for several different topics and was pleasantly surprised to discover how many common, and not-so-common, publications were available. I also found some blogs included in my searches. I would not necessarily view them as reference material, but they did point me in the direction of additional research ideas.
As with everything else in this challenge, I need to play with this component some more. But I look forward to sharing it with our patrons. I'm sure that the hard-core researchers will take to it much more quickly than I did.
Thanks for commenting, Gentle Reader. We like ProQuest's broad coverage of popular, trade, and scholarly journals, and promote them as a way to do professional reading.
ReplyDeleteGood tip about the blogs. I just discovered the publications list for this assignment, but I didn't notice the blogs. That would be great to find them by topic. Thanks, Jean
ReplyDeleteBlogs??? I have never encountered them in my use of ProQuest. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for them!
