Proquest

I searched the topic crosswords and memory on Proquest and got over 1,400 hits.  If a person were doing research, it would be very helpful to refer to the types of resources the information is coming from: trade journals, magazines, scholarly journals, wire feeds, even NPR.  I also found the graphic on the right-hand side that showed the decades of publication interesting - 1974-2013. Could be great for comparing/contrasting evolving thoughts on the issue.

I read several of my fellow Library Challenge participants blogs and found many of the same comments that I had.  This is a database that encompasses so many topics, you should be able to find whatever it is you're looking for!

I was surprised to find at least 9 library-related journals listed in the publications.  It's surprisingly easy to browse issues using the Preview button to the right of each article - gave a short synopsis.
