I appreciated watching the EBSCO basic search tutorial before doing this assignment. First time through was ok and, then when I started in on the Masterfile premier I had to go back and observe a little closer.
Alright, on to the task at hand. From the A-Z Research I used the Masterfile premier to do my search on herbal supplements for sore throats, in the Consumer Report.
The Dec. 1998, Vol. 10, issue 12 had an article titled 'Herbs for your throat'. The information told the reader that cough drops with menthol & pectin are best for numbing a sore throat. But, for a cheap, good tasting sore throat soother lemon drops are the best. On a personal note, having been married to someone that disliked lemon, I think this best choice might be debateable. (smile).
Second part of the task I searched first under actors and found 3 Bios, and 2 brief bios and only 600+ news/mags articles on Julia Roberts. I learned that Julia dislikes journalists, and that she and her husband have 3 children now. I knew about her twins but, not about her son born in 2006.
From there I searched under Biographical Facts Search for Mother Teresa. There are 6 B ios, 1 brief Bio and 18 articles in news/mags.
In the brief Bio I read what she had said to Prince Michael of Greece in 1996-that when she got to heaven's gate St. Peter said 'Go back to Earth there are no slums here'.
Mother Teresa was quite remarkable in her humbleness to serve others especially the poor and the destitute.
