I love this database. I had never even thought to look at this, so this assignment was wonderful. I can't believe what a great resource this is. I looked a large variety of hobbies/crafts and couldn't come up with one that wasn't covered. My step-mother is a weaver - sure enough there was plenty there for her. I like to bake - who knew there'd be a baking section! This is really amazing because these periodicals are costly to buy for yourself. The projects tab in some of the areas I looked at left a little to be desired - the baking projects weren't great but when I searched the periodicals tab I had better results.
When I told several teachers at work about this database they were excited to look at it and use it with students as well as for themselves.
The help link gave me useful information not only for this database but for general searching using wildcard and truncation. I have used and taught truncation, but not wildcard, so this will be good to use for some upcoming lessons with students about online searching.
