Proquest

   I was already fairly familiar with Proquest prior to the challenge because I used it quite a bit in college. However, a refresher is always nice. Being the history buff that I am, I went to the history section and decided to research the Spanish Civil War. I got thousands of results, and all very enticing. They ranged from essays about Canadians volunteering in the civil war to war photography to Francoism versus Communism. Speaking of photography here is Robert Capa's famous photo from the Spanish Civil War:

     

Sadly, I recently read that this photo was most likely staged and is a fraud. Nonetheless, I settled on reading an article entitled FDR and the Spanish Civil War: Neutrality and Commitment in the Struggle That Divided America published in 2008 in the Journal of American History. 

  It was hard for me to review what my peers were doing, because I'm about three weeks behind and everyone but me is already finished. Alas, I did look at my coworker's blog, and it appears she spent alot of time researching Edith Wharton. Lastly, I reviewed the journals of the library world, and ended up reading from the Huntington Library Quarterly, volume 74 published in 2011, which apparently is a scholarly literature magazine.
