    Hi Kerry, I'm having trouble accessing this link. This can happen when sites are found through deepweb sites such as ProQuest since they are trying to protect their content. When I click on the link I'm asked for a username and password. I am going to contact the Bank Street librarian and see if she has a username and password that we can use to access the site via this method. In the meantime, if you don't mind, could you post how to find this article through ProQuest (perhaps by Document ID) so that others in the class can access the resource. Thanks

    After some further investigation, I found that if I bookmarked a site directly from the Bank Street ProQuest site that there was no problem accessing it through Diigo. A couple questions: are you accessing ProQuest through Bank Street? Are you accessing it from home or on campus?
  •  
    No, I was not accessing it through Bank Street, I was using my school's proquest account.

    If it's possible to find the same article on the BS ProQuest and then post and delete this one, that would be great. Thanks. Dov

Document View - ProQuest - 4 views

    Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to make one suggestion. You will notice that the title of this bookmark is "Document View - ProQuest", which is what Diigo automatically puts in as a title when you bookmark the article. Since this is too generic and not very helpful to let other students know what the article is about, it would be useful to edit the title (either at the moment you are bookmarking or after) to include the actual title of the article. Again, thanks for your great contributions to the course.

    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 Knowledge Source: Subject Heading Search - 0 views

      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.

    Teens Healthy(!) Habits is a good overview of what kids currently eat and how healthy their choices are. Again, may be a good article to go with the other kids perspective looks at eating and organic foods.
