1. Gale (Now Cengage Learning)
I did the search for youth smoking and got RSS feed about it and they even sent me emails when there was new information! I can see where that would be very useful for all sorts of things. I know that I will use it for school and I'm always researching stuff just for the fun of it so this would really be handy to use for that.

2. EBSCO
Wow is all I have to say. I've made a website before but I did it from scratch using HTML and this is so much easier and takes all of the work out of it! It is very very easy to set up a website with this tool. My site has butterflies in the background and says Yippee! This is my site. I had a lot of fun doing this and is definitely a great resource for a simple website.

3. ProQuest
Another great resource! So much to do, so little time. You could spend a lifetime setting up RSS feeds on everything your interested in or making websites and adding information. It's a big world out there baby! lol I found the direction very simple and easy to understand and the project easy to do. When I was first looking at this thing I thought it seemed like it was going to be difficult and a lot of work but here I am almost done and haven't had any problems yet!

4. NetLibrary
This one I actually liked. I think I might actually use this after I'm done with 23things. Like I said I like to research stuff a lot and I would love to be able to just look online and make notes without having to go to the library try and find and request the book on the information I'm interested in (if they even have any) and then try and copy pages or something like that because we all know librarians get mad if you put post it notes in books.
