1. Wow, there a lot of different research sources on this site. I chose the Literature category and chose the "Literature and Its Time Supplement: Profiles of 300 Notable Literary Works and the Historical Events that Influenced Them." From here, I chose "My Last Duchess." I am really impressed. Anybody coming in needing a starting place to write a research paper on this poem would have a great starting point by using this source. The site gives a detailed summary of the themes addressed in the poem, and also lists references so that someone could look at other sources, as well as gives links to other articles in the site.
2. I typed in 'zinc' as a keyword, and 164 books came up listing zinc. I clicked on the first source which was The Gale Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health because I figured that would probably answer the question about what foods had zinc in them, and it did! Oysters, whole grains, beans, nuts have zinc, but better sources are beef, chicken, turkey, milk, cheese, yogurt and even maple syrup. Interesting! I like how easy the information to read is, finding that information took me hardly any time, and people appreciate that because it's nice to find answers fast. The read-aloud feature was nice to and easy to understand and would probably be appreciated by anyone who finds it easier to listen to the information than to read it. Overall, I was impressed throughout, with how easy everything was to find and the amount of information available.
Thanks for your comments, SoDak! I like the read aloud feature to hear how to pronounce medical & scientific terms.We're glad you found this resource so useful. I encourage you to become familiar with the titles included, so you can show it to others.
