Week 6 Gale Virtual Reference Library

1.  I choose the Junior Worldmark Encyclopedia of Foods and Recipes of the World, 2012, since I am a FACS teacher and that is one of our specialties. There are 4 volumes of this Encyclopedia, broken up alphabetically by country origin of the foods. There is a World's Food class in our department. If I would ever have to teach this class I would utilize this book ALL the time to teach about the countries and then have authentic recipes for students to try. This book excites me so much. I am going to be sharing it with the teacher that does teach it! The best part is the recipes are labeled with the original title and then converted to English and then all the recipes are in forms that the students use.

2. I search FSH because recently had a test done for levels with this in my own body and want to know more information on it.  There are 79 search results. It was sorted by relavance which brought many articles about FSH and testing for it. I then searched by date published so I could have the most current information. It came up with a book published in 2013 with many articles related to FSH. There was a article on premature menopause relating to FSH saying that if a woman is going through that the FSH level would be very high, mine is very low so I must be safe from that! According to another article this test should be done on the third day of the period for the most accurate results.  Very good information. Short and to the point articles. I really like this resource.

3. I will post on other blogs Friday so more people have time to complete this!

  1. So glad you found the World Recipes book and will use and share it! Of course, I had to look up FSH myself, not knowing what that is, so thanks for the education. I'm glad it was helpful. We think Gale Virtual Reference Library is easy to use and has great information on many, many topics. Thanks for your comments!
