I'm glad that I watched the EBSCO search tutorial. I didn't know that we could search for images through EBSCO host. EBSCO image search can be one more resource for those of us in Youth Services, as we create story time kits. I also discovered the notetaking function and the link to the dictionary - both very useful tools. I like that Webolution makes us look at sites more closely. There are numerous gems just waiting to be found.
For my Consumer Reports search, I looked up articles on iPods. In the process I also found some information on iPhones. There is a lot of information on both, and the articles are pretty up-to-date. I found several written in the past two months.
I used the Biography Reference Center to look up information on one of my favorite poets, Billy Collins. I found five articles on him. This surprised me because he is pretty popular, at least for a contemporary poet. One cool fact that I learned about Collins is that that he started publishing later in life, when he was 47 years old. He has been pretty prolific, considering his more recent start in the publishing world. (Of course, he started practicing his craft at twelve and had aspirations to be at least a writer in his tween years.)
