1. I decided to search for information on Sonny Barger. I find him very interesting. He is considered the founder of the Hell’s Angels, was a part of the infamous Rolling Stones concert, and has spent time in federal prison. But…he’s also written books and been in movies, and recently has guest starred on one of my favorite TV shows. You can buy Sonny Barger merchandise. The man has managed to brand himself. It blows my mind!
Anyway, I found lots of information in Proquest on Sonny Barger. There were reviews of his books, articles about him that included interviews; there were even newspaper articles about his criminal trial. I think I found some pretty cool stuff.
1a. I commented on Today’s thoughts blog.
2. I searched for the Journal of the Medical Library Association. Proquest contains the full text back to 2003. I also decided to search for journals with library in the title. Proquest has 21 titles available.
Thanks for the report, Timmi. Glad you found some interesting info about an interesting character! We like ProQuest's breadth of popular, trade, and scholarly material. As you discovered, it is possible to read many journals cover to cover here 24/7 for free. Hope you will find ways to use this with your patrons.
