I selected cellular telephones, with a total of 392 articles available there was a wide variety of information available. The overview presented a fair and balanced view of the topic. I like the way that opinionated articles were listed in a pro/con fashion. Most of the information returned was from well know newspapers and magazines. I like the way the critical thinking and analysis sections offers ideas for students to use.
I like the structure of the Curriculum Pathfinder, it follows a logical progression of information down through the various topics. This would be a good visual for people who have problems seeing the relationships among topics. It would also be a program to use when discussing broadening or narrowing a topic. When a topic is selected a good variety and amount of results are returned. Again the resources appear to come from well known sources.
It sounds as if you like what you found in SIRS Issues Researcher, Jeff. I hope you will show it to students and teachers at your school. Thanks for your comments
