Proquest was a bit overwhelming for me. I typed in a few different search subjects to explore. I was given many options in my results. I think it would help if I had more specific search topics. I also can see the use of the option of emailing an article to someone and also translating articles to a different language.
I can't see myself using Proquest in my classroom because I teach 1st grade. I do like the option of a Publications search. I can see myself using this for checking articles in specific magazines or newspapers for personal and professional use.
You're right, Pam, ProQuest can certainly be overwhelming. It does offer suggestions to help with your search, though. I find those very helpful. You're right that your first graders won't be using this one. It is for high school through adult. But do remember it when you need to do some "grown-up" reading! Thanks for your comments.
