23 Things Research Tools

10b) The obit was published on March 18, 2008.  She had four sons.
10c) No Telos, but EBSCO (Academic Premiere) does carry the other two in full text.
11a) Manager Duane F. Kelly, Grade B, overall Mstar rating 4 Stars
11b) Yep, Masterfile Premiere
11c) Looks like there are 94 coffee shops in the 402* area.  Biggest competition in 40202 is Starbucks.

12) At the reference desk I find the most useful tool(s) for me personally are the biographical databases as I often get questions in this regard.  Also, another choice would be any of the databases containing Consumer Reports articles as I get regular questions for those as well.  I think we should be telling more people about the business databases as I think it might present opportunities to network/connect with local businesses.  If we could keep only one then I use the Academic Search Premiere the most so I would likely say that one.
