The 2010 Winter Olympics were in February, that's more than two months ago, so I was disappointed not to find any 2010 results listed. Under the topic of Winter Olympics there were no 2010 listings. Under a keyword search for Evan Lysacek, men's figure skating gold medalist, there was one "watch for these athletes" article. Shaun White's info was from 2009. The article was entitled "King of snowboarding", but the picture was of him skateboarding. Frankly, I was disappointed.
So I went on to the database features. I didn't find as many low lexile levels for the subjects I picked, nor did I find many pictures. The maps were pretty good. The option of having the country info in all reading levels was a good option.
Discoverer would be a good tool for young people to use, likely with assistance as I don't think a 2-3 grader could sit down and be completely successful

Hi, Cheerful. I'm glad you were able to remain cheerful in spite of your disappointment. I did get 2010 results by searching "Olympics". Then you have to click on "Date" next to "sort by" under the top toolbars. You're right, most younger students would need assitance using this resource, but it does have a lot of good, safe info once you get them there. It expands most libraries' offerings for kids' magazines.
