1. When you do a basic search for lunar eclipse limiting to full text, you get 878 results. Using the person limiter, I chose Christopher Columbus who had the highest count of results with 4. The four items were from 1993, 2002, 2005 and 2011. The limiters really help to narrow your search results. The text that you search for is highlighted in the article which makes it easier to scan through and see if this was the information you were looking for. This saves time for people researching and is much less frustrating then going through a stack of books, looking in the index, finding the page, reading.....
2. If you start out with a basic search for state lotteries limiting to full text, you get 718 results. You can then further limit your search to location (U.S. 151 results) or by subject such as lotteries, gambling, studies, casinos. The source can also be limited to newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, etc. Once you find what you are looking for you can print, email, or export/save the information.
I so agree that research today is so much easier than in the past, as you say, going through a stack of books, looking in the index, etc. Thanks for your work here. We think that using ProQuest's limiters makes for a very powerful search. Thanks for your comments, Librena!
