I'm back - so begins my search on "Arab Spring".

I decided to try the search Arab Spring as both words and as phrase to see how different the search results would be -  both words resulted in 144 articles &  "Arab Spring" as phrase resulted in 41 articles  - conclusion exact phrase gives me more exacting articles to read. 1st article titled "Arab Spring" is clear, informative information with links (in blue) to detailed coverage of individual countries involved in Arab Spring as well as links to key people of interest. Good solid article.  Like the feature of other links to advance my search and expand my knowledge.

My search also resulted in 12 media regardless of using both words or phrase with zero results in other content sources such as web sites.

Google translator is a great option. I can see referring this option to a patron learning a foreign language, who wants to practice reading something in that particular language.

That's all for now -  back soon to dig into the research tools and check out Biography of the Day.
