Proquest
1.I did a search for "Photography" and found the results weren't very current. So I narrowed it to only show from October 2011 to March 2012. I liked the fact that you can narrow it all the way down to a specific day. That could help if a patron knows the date an article was published but not the title. I then decided to narrow my search further to "Photography AND business". I then chose to only show trade journals and found a ton of great articles. This is something that could really be useful to a patron working on a business plan. This could also be very useful for college students because you can also narrow it to only show scholarly journals.
1.a. I commented on BookWorm's SIRS Discoverer & SIRS Researcher post.
2. I searched for "libraries" "In subject". It brought up 71 publications! I browsed the Nov/Dec 2011 "Public Libraries" magazine. I am really excited about this! This is a fantastic resource for everybody! What a great way for people to better themselves professionally. Knowledge is power! :-)

Great comments, Haana! We like the breadth of ProQuest's coverage--popular, trade, and scholarly. I like the "Suggested Topics" when I search because I don't always come up with the same search terms as ProQuest does. I'm glad for your good finds--and for telling us how you got there. I'm also glad for what you found in the Publications tab. You might like to try "library" as a search, too, which will lead you to Library Journal and others.
