Task #10--Research Tools--CHECK!

Cruising right along to Task 10. This is one of the tasks that came most naturally to me, so thats the good news. Me and Ebsco are pals. I really like what they've dones with their search interface recently--it is more intuitive, user friendly, and easy to use. Of all of them, I probably use Master File the most, to search most of all for...drum roll...Consumer Reports, so. Its a handy thing to know--people are always looking for those things. Most recent search request was for mattresses, I believe. It's very handy, because Consumer Reports does have a site, but it's subscription only, so letting people know they don't have to pay is fun. Biography Resource Center is pretty darn magical. I used it to look up Wassily Kansinsky, the artist, who pretty much blew color and abstract art out of the water. He was pretty fundamental in multiple movements, all described well in the articles. There were 4 "biographies"--more in depth than I expected--2 "brief biographies" and 11 "magazine and news articles." The database is clean and super simple to use. I thought it was interesting that he had an entry in Contemporary Authors, because I don't think of him as an author, although of course he was. A delightful work of his art...that I doubt is in CC, but don't sue me. I am giving him full credit. The following is a work by WASSILY KANDINSKY.
