1. Do a basic search on something of interest to you. Report your findings and observations.I put in a search for sedation dentistry. The first article addressed special needs dental patients. Not what I was looking for. The second one: The root canal of your dreams by Nancy MacDonald. Maclean's. Toronto: Dec 17-Dec 24, 2007. Vol. 120, Iss. 49/50; pg. 41, 1 pgs The article was just what I wanted to find. I like that it can be e-mailed to myself or printed right away. I like that you can cite the material in different formats. I also like that they offer suggested topics from the one you searched.

2. Click the Publications tab at the top of the page. You will see an alphabetical list of the periodicals indexed in Proquest, the years included, and whether they are full text. Do a search for a journal in your profession by typing a title or keyword in the search box. Report your findings and observations.This publications search is very helpful especially for patrons looking for a specific article that they saw in a specific magazine. Handy!
