Library Challenge #3 - Proquest

I am getting a little more done, since I am docenting (is that a word?) for the Termesphere exhibit here in our library and no one is here right now.

In the Proquest basic search I looked at "Marathon" and "women" and came up with 29 articles. I loved the idea that you can email the articles and the site provides citations. Boy would this have been handy in 60's when I was in HS. (Think typewriters and notecards and researching how to write a footnote) My grades might have been better if I had all of this at my fingertips.

I looked at the Library Trends in the Publication tab and searched "jobs" which produced 263 articles. I looked at an article entitled " Public Librarianship as a Career" published in Fall 2009, which suggested that even though we are not paid well and there a few opportunities for advancement, librarians still like their jobs. I have to agree!
