Lesson 4 - ProQuest

ProQuest- I have a friend that has Huntington’s disease run in her family. I know only the vary basics about the disease so I looked it up in proquest. I first searched “Huntington’s Disease” and came up with 6,247 results. Then I searched “Huntington’s Disease Cure” and 965 results came up.  I liked how they had a list of suggested subjects based on what you were searching for. So after I had 965 results come up under “Huntington’s Disease Cure” there was a suggestion to look at “Huntington’s and DNA”. Because there is currently no cure for Huntington’s disease I appreciated the suggested topics that got me to an article that gave me the most current information on what researchers know and what they are currently doing to cure Huntington’s.  

 Under the publications tab I typed in “Library Journal” and then I clicked on “School Library Journal.”  Then within the School Library Journal I searched  “Preschool Story time” and I found a collection of articles. I did find what I wanted right away but after playing around with the advance search and using some of the search suggestions I came across a few helpful articles.

  1. Good work here, CVille. Thanks for describing your research process in finding your results. You do a good job of modeling for others.
