Lesson 4-Gale Virtual Reference Library

This site would be very useful for students doing research for term papers, senior projects, and even researching colleges. I chose to look at a book about forensics and read about accident recreation. It was very informative and detailed--excellent resource for research. Then, I did a basic search on therapuetic massage and found alot of information on the subject--what you need to do to become a massage therapist, how long a session usually is, how much they cost. This site would also be very useful for patrons to research subjects they need to find information about.

Lesson 3--ProQuest

I looked up the topic on getting organized and found many articles on what you need to do--very informative. Then I went to the Publications and tried to look up one of the magazines from a therapuetic massage magazine and didn't get any hits. I even went alphabetically and couldn't find any magazines that had to do with therapuetic massage. I was a little disappointed in that but understand that not every magazine will be there.
