RESEARCH TOOLS IN WORD 2007 Pamella Asquith, FMC Librarian Independent Learning Week April 2010
Within WORD 2007, there are many valuable research tools : • Dictionaries • Encyclopedias (Encarta not loaded on all PCs) • Translation • “Live” MSN search (has never worked for me) • Databases • Factiva iWorks (business newspapers) • HighBeam Research • Thomson Gale Company Profiles • MSN Money Stock Quotes
Encarta Dictionary Note: Encarta Encyclopedia is not loaded on all PCs but Dictionary is.
Translation OR
Online translations are done by a machine, not a person with a brain. So, sometimes a translation can be strange and incorrect.
Factiva iWorks Newspaper articles Wall Street Journal Dow Jones
HighBeam Research Newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias Product claims to fill gap between free search like Google and high-end offerings
Business and Financial Sites • Company Profiles by Thomson Gale • MSN Money Stock Quotes
