Proquest 1
I am about to read a book titled "The Book Whisperer." So, I thought I'd do a basic search for that title to see if anything has been written about it. As expected, I found some reviews. Not much else was there, so I tried the term "Animoto," since it's a program I have been experimenting with. Twenty-seven documents were returned. I opened on title "Animoto Pro" but quickly discovered this article was about a slideshow service for professional photographers. I then decided to look at the resource before opening an article. I found something called "Mashing Literacy" by Keith McPherson from Teacher Librarian. It was just the thing I was hoping to find; an explanation of the product in an article written for educators.

Perfect! You've given an excellent report on the quirkiness of search. Just typing in terms may or may not yield the results you are after. I find the "Suggested Topics" box in ProQuest a big help. Thanks for letting us see your process.
