SIRS Discoverer and Researcher

  Looked up armadillo like suggested in the Discoverer part. I was amazed at how much info was out there. If there is a favorite magazine or book you like, you could find the article that is chosen from there.For example, Ranger Rick or Britannica.
  The DataBase Features are great. There was a good variety, then you could keep narrowing it down to get more specific on the subject your researching. I struggled on the map of Germany and wanted to see more of the smaller towns that exist. Couldn't make it work but I could have been missing something. But the map, overall, was colorful and had the major cities listed.
  The dictionary section is a good feature but I found you had to spell the word exactly right. Was hoping for suggestion of "did you mean".. and give me the correct spellings. The skills discovery was a fun simple feature that gave the basics on music, drama and arts. Really liked looking around on the biography section.
  Then I went on to the Researcher. I chose cheerleading and couldn't believe the articles it listed about the pros and cons of it being a sport and also all the injuries that can occur. You can read the articles, view points and reference. Great for those research papers!
  In the Curriculum Pahtfinder part I went to Math. WOW! Sure would have been nice to have this in the late 70's. It might be hard at times to find an answer if you don't know what specific magazine or paper it would be in. But the information is definitly out there.
