Searching with style. Well, better than I was!

My search skills have certainly improved.  I'm rewriting the Wiki for EER500 and i need to find some new research based articles for the use of  wiki in education.  Well, back in January this task would have needed quite an investment of time and energy, but tonight - about an hour to basically find what I need, read it, summarise the relevant bits, and put what I need into a draft from for the next part of my research assignment.
Cool.
I found a neat trick.  Sometimes you find articles that are not quite what you need.  However, if you go to their reference section, sometimes you can find a closer match.. Use Google Scholar or onto the CSU library database and odds on it's there!
