Lesson 5

Lesson 5 -- Gale Virtual Reference Library
I chose the book "The War Against Iraq". I liked the search within a search option. I read the article about the new Iraq and the challenges that need to be overcome while creating a democratic society. This would be a great tool for choosing what articles to read if you have a specific topic.

I searched anorexia. There was a good article in The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 2006. The article gave a definition, description, causes and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention. I liked this site for looking up a topic. With the reference materials at your fingertips and the ability to save and print the articles you need. The view other articles linked to this site was helpful. I liked the listen button and the ability to download onto your mp3 player. I am on the road a lot and like to listen to something other than the radio. A great way to multitask!

I just realized I am all caught up and Lesson 6 is not available yet! Yipee! Last week I spent way to much time playing a game I found Absurd Math. It was quite fun. Well on to other things.
