Task 10: EBSCO
I was excited to use this discovery task to look for an article for a paper
for school, but then I saw that we were actually given specific tasks to do,
so I did those instead (and, as a result, I didn't make progress on my
homework and will probably flunk out of school).
For the Consumer Reports search, I really wanted to find information useful to
me, so I searched for articles about pizza stones (mine, that I have had for
two months, broke the other day), but Consumer Reports has apparently never
done anything on pizza stones, so I decided I would verify that my pots and pans are great. The most recent article that confirmed the greatness of my pots and pans was from 2
005. If I searched for only the most recent articles, it gave me a little side-note piece that rated cookware without distinguishing between non-stick and stainless steel cookware (they apparently didn't take into account the fact that it probably won't be safe to eat off of the non-stick pans in 50 years because the top rated pans were non-stick). I also ended up finding an article confirming the great and wonderfulness of my KitchenAid Mixer. (And yes, as the picture would imply, it is white, not purple. My whole life I wanted a purple KitchenAid mixer, but they just don't make them anymore. I try not to let that interfere with my feelings for the mixer that I do have, because she is wonderful and kneads bread for me and just looks so nice in my little kitchen. Also, when I was looking for the picture for this post, I found a picture of an absolutely gorgeous purple KitchenAid mixer and it was in a lady's blog that was from 2007 and she mentioned that she had had the mixer for 3 years--I can't believe they stopped making them in purple. Why, why did they stop?)
In the Biography Research Center I searched for C.S. Lewis and found ten articles. I also searched for J.R.R. Tolkien and found eleven articles. How exciting!
