I had no idea that there were so many databases available! I have used Ancestry.com and AllData quite a bit, but the ELM is new to me. This is a great resource that most people probably don't even know about. Searching for magazine articles in an online database is great--I remember the "olden days" searching in the Readers Guide for an article, finally locating the magazine on the shelf, and then finding that someone had cut the article that I wanted out of the magazine! Having magazines & newspapers archived online is a wonderful idea, and will ensure that the articles are easily accessible when they are needed.
#1. Infotrack Student Edition--I searched for "Youth Smoking" and found over 700 articles. I tried to set up an RSS feed, but Google Reader would not accept the Feed URL. So-- I did another search on "Online Games" instead, using Infotrack/General Science (another Gale database). This time the RSS worked and I was able to add a search alert to my list of feeds. Infotrack Student Edition is easy to use, and would be very helpful for students who need to find magazine articles for school assignments.
