|Retrieved July 3, 2012 from, |According to the informational summary, it includes 6,100 full text periodicals | |

| 5,100 peer reviewed journals. This is an extensive database. It is updated | |

|sultsadvanced?sid=335c5830-022e-4|on a daily basis. The coverage of articles available in full text format extends | |

|dac-99ff-593581cc110a%40sessionmg|from 1911 to the present. However, this database offers indexes and abstracts for| |

|Z0eXBlPTEmc2l0ZT1laG9zdC1saXZl |I accessed this source through GALILEO. It is provided by EBSCO Publishing, Inc. | |

| |The material within can be counted on for accuracy. (Hence, the daily update | |

| |schedule.) As the publisher is EBSCO, it has the same interface as described in | |

| |the longer ERIC EBSCOHOST review. | |

| |I did a search on “Tutankhamen” and “Egypt.” Of course I got many articles as | |

| |expected. And I can limit my search to full text as normal. However, what caught| |

| |my attention this time was the media offered on the left side of the screen. I | |

| |was supplied with several photos showing the entrance to the tomb in the Valley of| |

| |the Kings and pictures of the original archaeological team. Awesome! | |

| | | |

| |One special feature I did note was the iPhone application offer. Nice! The | |

| |ability to research on the go without having to be at one’s computer is truly at | |

| |time saver. | |

| | | |

| |I would recommend this database for upper level high school, college and graduate | |

| |school, and professional levels. My overall rating is a 10. I was very happy | |

| |with my search results. | |

|Retrieved on July 3, 2012 from, |SIRS Discover is provided by the ProQuest Information and Learning. The |indexing |

| introduction does not offer an update time for the material. | |

|iscoweb/disco/do/frontpage |However, as the information is drawn from more than 1,900 local and international | |

| |newspapers, magazines, and government resources—it should be fairly accurate and | |

| |reliable. It has many maps and graphics as well to help with understanding and | |

| |comprehension of subjects. | |

| |It covers a range of school-related subjects from science to geography to cultures| |

| |to personal growth. The interface is friendly and easy to navigate. One can | |

| |subject search or type in a keyword. On the user main page there is a “database | |

| |features” tool box featuring quick links to maps of the world, biographies, | |

| |educator resources, and several other items. Useful links to reference resources | |

| |(i.e. dictionaries) and web links can also be found easily on the main page. | |

| |Upon performing a search for zebras, I was given a list of 323 articles all | |

| |containing the topic. Across the top a tabbed, dark blue bar separated them by | |

| |category: magazine, newspaper, reference, graphics, and website finds. I could | |

| |also sort by lexile level and date. Each entry gives the source information at | |

| |the top; before offering the full text article at the bottom. Also, a wonderful | |

| |special feature: every article offers the MLA citation at the bottom of the page. | |

| |This not only makes research much easier, but encourages good citation habits! | |

| |This website is a wonderful tool for elementary, middle, and freshman students. | |

| |My overall rating is a 10. | |

|Retrieved on June 28, 2012 from |audience of students, educators, and professionals. |via Galileo |

| | |

|sultsadvanced?sid=8b23b2d7-37a3-4|The interface seems friendly enough. In the top left-hand corner are the search | |

|b21-9a01-7361d780b1a1%40sessionmg|bars and buttons. Beneath that is a huge “search options” area. Within this | |

|r15&vid=8&hid=19&bquery=(writing)|area, I can choose my search mode and set my preferences (Boolean, all my | |

|+AND+(across)+AND+(curriculum)&bd|keywords, etc.) and limit my results (full text, peer reviewed, year written, | |

|ata=JmRiPWVyaWMmY2xpMD1GVCZjbHYwP|publication type, document type, and references available). | |

|VkmdHlwZT0xJnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ|I am not used to Boolean searching, but I did appreciate the section devoted to it| |

|%3d%3d |in chapter 5. I have a better understanding of it. Thus, I decided to do one of | |

| |these searches to try out this online index. | |

| | | |

| |I did an initial search using the Boolean phrase “writing across curriculum.” | |

| |This returned 2,596 results. Each entry included the title and citation | |

| |information. What I liked was the icon next to the entry that denoted it to be | |

| |either a “book” or “academic journal.” This could be incredibly helpful for quick| |

| |searches. | |

| |I noticed to the left side of the screen a light blue bar. Within this bar, I can| |

| |refine my search results further during my search without starting over again. | |

| |These possibilities include: full-text, peer reviewed, or availability on | |

| |microfiche. Also, I can check what type of source I want in the search (i.e. all,| |

| |magazine or journal articles). I can further fuel my search by noting (if I so | |

| |choose) the publication type or and subject area (they offered my search term and | |

| |related ones). When I limited my search to “full text” only—my results were | |

| |1,159. I clicked on one article of interest and read the abstract. The abstract | |

| |indicated it dealt with my topic but at the college level. That was enough to | |

| |make me drop the article. I need ones geared toward middle school writing across | |

| |the curriculum. I used one of the suggested subject descriptors “writing across | |

| |the curriculum” and my search narrowed to 529 articles. I changed the date to | |

| |2000-2011; and was my search was reduced to 175 articles. I added a final Boolean | |

| |row with the term “middle school.” My search dropped to 51 articles. That’s more| |

| |like it! | |

| | | |

| |The arrangement of the index is described above through limitations on subject | |

| |descriptors, full text, or publication. These access points make it easier to | |

| |find many articles. | |

| |A special feature would be found in the dark blue bar across the top of the page. | |

| |Under the “languages” tab 29 different language translations are offered. Under | |

| |the “new features” tab, I learned what had been added and that all the H.W. Wilson| |

| |databases were available on EBSCOHOST. I know they are a trusted publisher; so | |

| |that is a great benefit! My overall rating is a 10. | |

|4 |This is an online citation index that also provides abstracts to 1700 English |Online |

|America: History and Life. |language journals. The quick informational reference states that articles in the |citation index|

|(2012). EBSCO Publishing, Inc. |database cover North American history from prehistory to the present. An article |and abstracts |

|Retrieved on July 1, 2012 from, |dealing with a place other than North America must include information on this | |

| as well in order to be included. I found that an interesting, but | |

|sultsadvanced?sid=26240c41-e932-4|reasonable special feature. The database contains articles from 1953 to the | |

|f4a-8e6e-7d9e4be6dfb4%40sessionmg|present. EBSCO updates this index on an ongoing basis. Articles contained in | |

|r14&vid=3&hid=19&bquery=roanoke&b|this database are geared towards researchers- both college students and | |

|data=JmRiPWFobCZ0eXBlPTEmc2l0ZT1l|professionals. | |

|aG9zdC1saXZl | | |

| |It does include the same EBSCO interface for searching as described in the longer | |

| |ERIC at EBSCOHOST entry. This includes the search, language, and preference | |

| |features already mentioned. | |

| | | |

| |I tried a search for the lost colony of Roanoke. My search resulted with 269 | |

| |articles. I limited the search to full text articles; and came up with 102 | |

| |editorials on the subject. Lastly, I typed in "disappearance" along with | |

| |"Roanoke" in the Boolean search bar. This final result was only 2 articles. | |

| |Both article citations offered explanatory abstracts dealing with my subject. | |

| |After reading both, I believe that either article would offer some good | |

| |information on the subject. | |

| |I would recommend this for use in upper level, high school, college, and graduate | |

| |school. My overall rating is an 8. | |

|id=11 |information on updates to the Searchasaurus. As for the arrangement, students may| |

| |search by topic or choose the ready-made subject headings. | |

| |I choose to perform a search with the headings provided. I chose “Science and | |

| |Math” and then, “volcanoes.” I filtered my search by magazine articles only (this| |

| |icon was at the top of the page for easy search limiting). I was provided with a | |

| |list of articles that included the citation information and lexile scores in a | |

| |neat little box. Clicking on a title took me to the entry where I was offered an | |

| |abstract with citation information at the top of the page. Scrolling down, I was | |

| |able to read the entire article. Nice. I chose “The Year Without A Summer.” | |

| |This article dealt with the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in the spring | |

| |of 1815. After skimming the article, I decided it was a good source of | |

| |information on the eruption. It told of the effects on the weather and | |

| |environment. It also brought into account how the cold weather influenced the | |

| |invention of the bicycle and the writing of the story “Frankenstein.” | |

| |A special feature would be the “Teacher Resources” tab at the top. This allows | |

| |teachers to perform a search, but notes the limitations for the different | |

| |databases: ERIC, Professional Development Collection and Academic Search Complete.| |

| |There is a separate box out to the side that holds curriculum standards for the | |

| |United States, Canada, and DoDea Schools. Also, links are offered to the | |

| |Department of Education website. | |

| |Overall, this is a very good site for middle school researchers. I give it a 9. | |

|, etc.) as well as keyword searching. There is a basic search feature and| |

|ajournalconstitution?accountid=15|an advanced search feature. Within the advanced feature, one has the option of | |

|017 |Boolean searching, type of source (newspaper, magazine, etc.), language, and | |

| |informational format (article, announcement, advertisement, etc.). | |

| |I did an advanced search for “Iceland and volcanoes.” My limitations were | |

| |magazines, scholarly journals, and newspapers. My search returned a total of | |

| |1,907 results with 813 magazine articles, 768 scholarly journal articles, and 326 | |

| |newspaper articles. I refined my research to just newspaper articles and received| |

| |the 326 aforementioned articles. | |

| |The article has highlights of the search terms used. The paper, author, original | |

| |publishing date, and issue are located at the top of the article; and then, the | |

| |full text is given. Other helpful features like author, title, newspaper, | |

| |publication year, page numbers, section, etc are offered at the bottom of each | |

| |article. | |

| |Off to the right side is a box containing other formats such as citation/ | |

| |abstract. These are very helpful for skimming many articles in a short amount of | |

| |time. | |

| | | |

| |Of course, I also got some results that were not what I wanted. One dealt with a | |

| |recent news article of the divorce between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. How, one | |

| |might ask? It related that Cruise was in “Iceland” filming a movie while his wife| |

| |files for divorce; and mentioned the scientology belief (Tom’s religion) about | |

| |hydrogen bombs near “volcanoes.” | |

| | | |

| |I would say this could be a very useful site for research. All search returns do | |

| |not relate to the topic being investigated. I would give this caution to anyone | |

| |doing a search like this. My overall rating is an 8. I would recommend this site| |

| |be used by high school students, college, graduate, and professionals. | |

|1 |browse search. According to the instructions tab—documents may be searched by | |

| |keyword, author, title, department, abstract, major, committee members, major | |

| |professor, or “keyword anywhere” (within the document). The difference between a | |

| |basic and precision search are the number of limiters available in the precision | |

| |tab. | |

| |I performed a search using the terms “history” and “American.” I checked several | |

| |limiters and was provided with a list of possible dissertation abstracts. After | |

| |choosing one abstract and reading it, I tried to access the full text document | |

| |link. It was available on UWG campus only. | |

| |Of course, after looking through several more abstracts—not all pertained to | |

| |American History. Some contained those two terms and that is what the search | |

| |engine picked up on. That could be a drawback to using this particular database. | |

| |I would recommend this database for college and graduate students. It receives a | |

| |7—for, while containing plausible information, the search engine does not always | |

| |gather documents pertaining to one’s research topic. | |

| |looks like something on the site is updated on a monthly basis. | |

| | | |

| |When the main page loaded, it offered a few videos from each subject heading for | |

| |the user to peruse. One can search by topic or choose a subject heading like the | |

| |ones provided. Twenty-four different headings are provided. The videos are also | |

| |arranged according to special collection (i.e. History Channel videos, ABC News, | |

| |Frontline, CNBC, etc.). This can be really helpful especially for some who may | |

| |have seen special on a certain network. It may very well be provided here. When | |

| |accessing an individual video, the segments appear in a bar to the right hand side| |

| |of the screen. Also, available are transcripts of the video in a tab next to | |

| |"segments." Furthermore, videos relating to the chosen video are available under | |

| |the "related" tab. Abstract summaries are provided below the video window as well| |

| |as segment abstracts within the segments tab. | |

| |I recommend this site for teacher use in middle school and up. My overall rating | |

| |is a 9. | |

| |A special feature includes the ability to create a playlist. Of course to do | |

| |this, one must create an account. These are available in a yearly subscription | |

| |for a fee. Also, there is a link to facts and questions that would answer many | |

| |questions people initially have about the site. | |

|edu/atlnewspapers/search |The user interface seems fairly straightforward. AT the top of the page, are | |

| |three links: home, about, and help. On the home page, there are two ways to | |

| |search: by keyword or one can browse through particular issues. The date and name| |

| |of the paper are offered for browsing. One has only to choose the issue. | |

| | | |

| |The only problem I see is that in order to view the newspaper images one must have| |

| |the DjVu plug-in software. It is similar to a flash player type thing. It can be| |

| |downloaded for free from the main page of this site. This may cause a bit of a | |

| |delay, but not too long of one. Also, GALILEO offers a help page dealing with | |

| |DjVu plug-in. This can aid would-be searches in their quest for information. I | |

| |tried a search on the “Civil War” and figured this out the hard way. | |

| | | |

| |I can see this source being an excellent benefit to 8th grade Social Studies | |

| |classes. It offers primary documents from the major time periods covered in that | |

| |curriculum. School tech departments would need to equip computers with the | |

| |software needed to view the newspaper images and content. This would also be a | |

| |good source for high school students and older depending on what event or area is | |

| |being researched. My overall rating is an 8 due to the delay with loading the | |

| |imaging software. | |

| the content as fairly accurate due to the publisher (ProQuest) and the | |

|icalsciences/advanced?accountid=1|frequency of updates to the database (monthly). | |

|5017 |The user interface is similar to others published by ProQuest. It has basic and | |

| |advanced search options. When I clicked “search now,” I was taken to the advanced| |

| |options portion of the page. Here I could perform a Boolean search. | |

| |Additionally, I could limit my search by peer-review, conference papers, male, | |

| |female, humans, and animals. (I thought that an interesting feature—male and | |

| |female limitations!) Furthermore, I could limit by date published, source type, | |

| |document type, and language. | |

| |I did I search with the phrase “stem cells.” This gained me 324,645 abstract | |

| |results. To the right-hand side of the screen, I noticed a “narrow results by” | |

| |bar. Upon investigation, I learned that I could it showed all results of my | |

| |search broken down according to document type, source type, or publication title. | |

| |It listed the number of hits out next to each one. Thus, I narrowed my search | |

| |using all the limitations possible. My end result was 96,316 abstracts. (I could| |

| |also sort these by relevance—oldest to most recent dates.) | |

| |I chose one title. The abstract entry was quite extensive giving a full detail | |

| |summary of the actual article. I was presented with additional information at the| |

| |bottom it (title, author, publication, issue, volume, etc.). There was also a bar| |

| |that allowed me to look to see where I could get the full text of the article. I | |

| |was presented with an online source and a print source. I like the fact that one | |

| |is given a choice of content format. Interestingly enough, I sorted by most | |

| |recent date and was surprised to see one entry dated for August 1, 2012. The | |

| |abstract had already been entered into the database in preparation for release of | |

| |the article in the August edition of that scholarly journal. | |

| | | |

| |One special feature was the ability to set one’s own search preferences in a | |

| |separate tab. In order to do this, an account was needed. This saves the user | |

| |from having to input the same limitations in for every search. | |

| | | |

| |I would recommend this source for college, graduate, and professionals doing | |

| |research. It is mainly tailored towards secondary education. My overall rating | |

| |is a 9. | |

| |African American History, Campaign 2008, Newseum News, Newseum Videos, and Newseum| |

| |Blogs. Archive dates go back to 2007. | |

| | | |

| |A special feature would be the offering of a packet to educators planning a field | |

| |trip to the Newseum. Furthermore, they offer professional development workshops | |

| |for educators. Nice! Another feature would be the “Today’s Front Pages” page. | |

| |This page offers the headlines, graphics, etc. of the 836 newspapers that can be | |

|13 |Google Scholar is meant to offer a way to search the web for scholarly documents |Online |

|Google Scholar |(including academic and legal). The accuracy depends on the author(s) of the |database for |

| |documents or content loaded within the database. Google does state that it ranks |abstracts |

|July 4, 2012 |documents according to who the author is and how often their work has been cited | |

| |in other literature. As such, using this particular site could not be as valid as| |

| |serious researcher would like to think. It covers a wide range of topics in | |

| |academia: from science to math to English literature. Google does not state how | |

| |often it updates; however, that could be assumed as ongoing since scholarly works,| |

| |literature, and documents are constantly being added by their support staff. | |

| |What is most helpful before beginning a search is to go to the “advanced search | |

| |tips” page. This list the Google operators that will help one the most when | |

| |researching a topic; or looking for a particular work or document. It offers tips| |

| |on how to search for papers, documents, or works by particular authors or about | |

| |particular topics. It advises the user how to enter the items to gain the most | |

| |out of the search results. This includes looking for topics within a certain | |

| |journal. The user can set the date range for documents or works within a specific| |

| |time period. | |

| |I performed a search for books or documents concerning the “old testament world.” | |

| |I had 436 results. A special feature is the indication if the result is a book or| |

| |in PDF format. Not all are in such formats, but it is very helpful when | |

| |searching. I selected one of my results because I recognized one of the authors | |

| |as a mentor of one of my professors from college. I was taken to the Google Books| |

| |portion of their site where the entire text of the book was available online. A | |

| |drop down menu presented a table of contents with page numbers enabling me to | |

| |“skip ahead” if need be. | |

| |My overall rating is a 7. I would like a bit more structure to my search. This | |

| |could be a useable source for college, graduate, and professionals. I would | |

| |suggest searching with caution. | |

| |and searching. | |

| |I performed a search for “giraffes” and was presented with a long list of article | |

| |titles (along with authors, issues, volumes, and publication dates). Also, more | |

| |tabs appeared above the results list denoting “articles, reference resources, | |

| |books (from WorldCat database) and previous searches.” Amazing. I not only get | |

| |article titles and issues, but also almanac information, and books containing my | |

| |topic as well. When I clicked on one article title—I was presented with the | |

| |option of “getting this item,” external resources for this item, and the number of| |

| |libraries around the world that had this item. (In this case, it was 629 | |

| |libraries!) I discovered that I could sort the results according to date, title, | |

| |author, source, or number of libraries. | |

| |A special feature was the “cite this item” button for the article. Clicking on it| |

| |took me to a page where the MLA, APA, Harvard, and Chicago styles were all right | |

| |in front of me. Also, the page contained a 15 minute time-out session. | |

| |Hmm…interesting. Also, one has the option to email or print the citation info; | |

| |as well as see names of the libraries that on the item. | |

| | | |

| |I would recommend this online index for college, graduate, and professional | |

| |researchers. The interface is somewhat confusing until one “plays” around with | |

| |it. My overall rating is a 7. | |
