Well, I didn't heed the warning contained in this week's assignment, and I fear I will, indeed, become addicted to this site.
I searched for crochet articles and publications. Under the projects tab, I found a couple of patterns for ornaments that I'd like to try, and it's handy to be able to e-mail myself the results. My library does carry at least one of the publications listed on the results page, but I found several with which I was not familiar as well.
This database is a good pattern source for patrons who are already competent in specific crafts, but it also contains a lot of how-to articles and books, so it would be useful for beginners, too. I learned from the "Help" link that the database includes videos and was able to find a couple of how-to videos by doing an advanced search.
Curious about what the database would offer for hobbies that are not crafts, I searched for suggestions for hiking trails in Maine. I did find some articles and books, but I'd like to play with this some more and try to better refine my results.
