Proquest 2
For the publications search I was a little frustrated the first couple of times I tried it. My returns were only titles with the exact words I was using, of course. I tried "school librarian" and got 1 return. "Librarian" got me 4. "Libraries" returned 12 titles. I got 24 returns with the word "library." (I use quotes here, but didn't in my searches.) I read the search tips link and decided what I needed to do was a truncated search with the term "lib*." (Again, I didn't use quotes in the search.) Forty-five titles were returned! What a fabulous resource.

Glad you conquered this one, Kim. One thing to remember when searching in the Publications tabe is that you are searching words in journal titles. Sounds as if you got it figured out! Good work!
