Proquest
1. Best results when I clicked on Document and then clicked on Review and under Subject clicked on Non-Fiction. Ended up with 88 articles.
2. Put in Hurricane Sandy Impact on Libraries and got 384 articles.
Narrowed it down to just Trade Journals and got 88. Most recent Library Journal, Jan. 1, 2013. Talked about the clean up of the New York University library.
COMMON CORE:
Writing Standard: Research to Build and Present Knowledge:
11-12 # 7
Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
Perfect for the Juniors who do research papers. I usually do an overview of several research sites. Would give them each a recent topic and have them find 5 sources on Proquest and Cite them using the Cite feature. Excellent tool for becoming familiar with listing sources.
