ProQuest

In searching the topic "Parkinson's Disease" using Proquest, a multitude of articles were found.
It is nice to choose either subject by relevance or date. Even being able to do the search in various languages was a surprise! I like the option of searching all journals or just selecting a few from the list. Proquest offers many limiters in various forms, from search tips, to single or multiple databases, to scholarly articles and full text, to suggested search terms, to formats.
Proquest also offers several citation and bibliographic helps, as well as alerts managing your findings. The email option is handy and the RSS feed option very helpful.
