Custom Newspaper Product  Document - 3 views

  • The difference between "organic" and "natural" foods is that the word "natural" isn't regulated. Manufacturers can call any product "natural," except for meat and poultry. It would be up to the consumer to decide whether to trust the company. Not so with organics.

      Great piece of information I did not find elsewhere.

    Hi Steve, when I try to access this site it asks for a "UserGroup Identification". How did you access this resource?

    I accessed all of these resources through the Bank Street Library databases. Since I did my work from the school I had direct access. I assume that if you use the Bank Street Library log on information that everyone received, you would be able to access this resource.

    Unfortunately the code that we were given doesn't work on this prompt. I will write to Kristen and see if there's a fix for this.

    Dov - were you able to get a code to access this doc? I would love to read this as it seems to be relevant to my search! Thanks

    Unfortunately not. Steve, I noticed that this article came from the Albany Times Union. If you don't mind could you try to find the article on their website and post the link in the comments here or as a separate bookmark. Thanks.

    This is the best I came up with. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-163029099/organic-foods-taking-root.html I will keep searching.

    Hi Rachel, we're having some difficult accessing links that were bookmarked from the ProQuest database. I'm contacting Bank Street to see how we can get into the links. In the meantime, if you don't mind. Could you post a comment here with the DocumentID of the article on ProQuest so others can easily find this resource. Thanks.

      sirs is a great starting point for students to begin research and the research tools are really useful.
  •  
    I'm having trouble accessing this site too. How did you access this site?
  •  
    Again, I got to this through my school, but I thought sirs was part of proquest and should be available to see.
  •  
    It seems that ProQuest has a variety of different products so Bank Street may have the main ProQuest database, but not SIRS. I'll ask the librarian.
