BLOG REFLECTION #7 TOPIC

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that the Lakers are doing GREAT! They are 7-0 right now, I think we have a good chance of making it to the Finals again if almost everyone stays healthy thoughout the season (especially Kobe and Andrew)!

Okay, if I was instructing a patron who wanted to use electronic/internet resources for researching their topic I would tell them that ProQuest is the best choice. You can look up tons of books, articles, and much more. You get plenty of results that you can choose from.

If I had to give the patron a list of electronic/internet resources, this would be my list to give him or her.
1. ProQuest – you can look up books, articles and more
2. Encyclopedia.com – you can looks up facts from encyclopedias, books, and articles.
3. Encyclopedia Brittanica.com – you can looks up facts from encyclopedias, books, and articles.
4. Subscription research databases -
5. LII.org
6. Government Sponsored websites
7. Wikipedia
8. Favorite search engine

ProQuest is a great tool. I sometimes find it harder to navigate than others, but once I figure out the best route, it proves to be worth the time. And the results tend to have more current information on some topics that aren't as well covered by encyclopedias.

I agree with dj. I like using Proquest also, but prefer EbscoHost because I find it more user-friendly.
