Gale
The title I chose to look up for the first question was The Gale Encyclopedia of Children's Health: Infancy through Adolescence. This was divided into four volumes. I looked up the article about toilet training. I also looked up an article about assessment in the Education book. I found a lot of good information in both books. I like how you can find really scholarly articles and also ones that are easy to read and understand. That would be good for the variety of patrons that we see. I can see telling all kinds of people about this. I typed "Reading Education" into the basic search box and it came up with 34 articles. I chose to read one entitled "School Readiness" from the Encyclopedia of Education. I thought it had good information and was easy to understand. I also liked the citation tools which shows how to cite an article a variety of ways. There is also a "search within this publication" feature which allows you to search for a keyword in an article. All in all, I really liked this site.
