Wrap Up

     Overall I learned something new about each site but the two
biggest discoveries concerned SIRS Issue Researcher and CAMIO.

     I dicovered I much preferred using SIRS over Proquest. It
was just easier to navigate and I was impressed with its features
espcially the Pro/Con Issues and Essentail Questions.

    I don't remember CAMIO from the first challenge so I was
really excited to explore all it had to offer and recommend it
to our Art teacher.

     Also discovered our IP address was not correct with the State
and consquently we had to put in the long username and then a
password. Managed to get that resovled with the prompt assistance
of Julie Erickson. This will make it so much easier to access these
sites from school. I have found both students and teachers want
everything quicker.

     Will definitly try to use these sites more when classes come in
for research. I feel much more comfortable using them and showing
teachers how to use them. Really liked the handouts available to
print out for students and teachers.
