If you're looking for analysis there are resources in GALILEO that are used by the students in the Sport and Recreation Management program. They need access to something a little more indepth than just numbers for sports management.
You are already aware I really like LexisNexisfor news articles. Chattahoochee Tech Library subscribs to NewsBank with articles going back to 1985.
Here's another source that the Chattahoochee Tech Library subscribes to: Facts.com.
Facts.com highlights articles on current issues and controversies in society and science. Additionally, Facts.com contains a World Almanac Reference Database, World Almanac Encyclopedia, Reuters news articles, and World News Digest special features and articles from 1940 - present.
Go to GALILEO
...Databases A-Z
.....Select F
.......Select Facts.com
In the right hand column, they offer a News Services Cross Search
This will search three of the Facts. com resources - World News Digest, Todays Science and Issues and Controversies.
A search for "Minnesota Vikings" (put the words in quotes or you'll get references to Norway and vikings) turned up 195 articles. Facts.com
doesn't put the results in any order. I discovered I can click on the date link at the top of the right column and sort the articles with the most recent at the top.
There's another handy tool in Facts.com. The last tab is Reference Shelf. Clicking on that tab reveals the source for the articles - either encyclopedia or almanac. There is the citation in MLA and APA at the very bottom of the article!
Go looking for something to wow the folks around the water cooler with your indepth understanding of the recent sports event.
