Thing #4 - online resources

I used TEL to do a couple of searches for an article for my grad school class. (We have to read, and write a review of, at least 3 articles relevant to our course topic during the semester.) I find TEL to be very easy to use. I like that you can cross-search multiple databases at once, that you can refine your search or limit to full-text on the fly, and that the results are broken up into groups (magazines, academic journals, books, etc.) One nice feature I haven’t used in TEL yet is that you can generate a Search Alert RSS feed. Pretty cool. Anyway, yes, I was able to find an article that suited my needs, fairly quickly. TEL is always worth recommending.
