ProQuest

I think there is just too much information out there! Technology can be great but it blows my mind that you can put one word in the search box and get thousands of options to read. It is a good site when you need to do research, once again. But not knowing a specific document or magazine that might be helpful on your subject would be a negative. I looked up "migraine" because I have had them all my life. They are getting better and I've always thought it was hormonally triggered but the last years I have also realized they may be food triggered. So I did the 'search within' and got more articles to read. Yes, if I wanted to spend alot more time on this I would have found alot out. Just feel you need to be very specific when your using ProQuest but knowing its out there is a positive.

  1. You made some excellent observations about Proquest--there is a lot of information covered in this resource. You can narrow down a search exactly as you explained. Good work.

    Were you able to locate a journal in the publications tab?
