Task #10

Ebsco is a great resource for journal aritcles research. Although I've used Ebsco a lot, and even filled several ILL requests through Ebsco, I found the short video informative and discovered something I didn't know. I loved the image feature and looked up the flag for Belize.

Since we're in the digital camera age, I looked for an article on digital cameras in Consumer Reports and set the year 2009, as I wanted the newest information. Found two articles, one from July 2009 and one from September 2009. Anybody want to lend me some money? I've got my eye on a couple of really nice cameras.

As for Biography Resource Center, I looked up three of my favorite movie music people--Alexander Courage (1 article); Jerry Goldsmith (2 articles); and James Horner (1 article). Horner is famous for composing the scores for "Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan," "Legends of the Fall," "Braveheart," and "Titanic," as well as numberous other scores and has won an Academey Award, Golden Globe, Grammy, and others. All three composers are linked by Star Trek. However, Courage and Goldsmith are linked beyond Star Trek--at least 30 times, if not more. For you enterprising trivia junkies out there, you'll have to dig to figure out how these two are linked.
BTW, Goldsmith has won at least two Academy Awards and numerous Emmys.

The Waltons.

Don't know about the Horner, would have to look at his "list," but that sounds like something from Trek II. No, the Waltons isn't it. Has to do with movie scores.
