Hi Carol,

I'm currently helping my son do Internet Reasearch for a pharmacy class, so I can easily check out several of the places I've found that make searching easier. I'll PM you some of my thoughts about Mudcat (later). Also, pay attention in your journal searching to the names you see quoted. There is a Science Citation Index which lets you work backwards from a name to find other articles by that person. Many times you can identify the "biggies" (people and/or summary articles) in a field that might be unfamiliar to you, thus saving a lot of repetition and covering the same ground.
