Recap of Reseach Search Engines

For some reason, I didn't enjoy this assignment as much as the others. Part of it was because it seemed harder to determine if a source was reputable or not. It seems that would be easy to do, but it really took some tracking down to get that information.

I really liked the Summit Database best. It seemed to have more options of books, more search options and generally more information. Plus it is able to give more information than the Cannell Library. Well, maybe not more information, but more information with fewer keystrokes. Cannell is really good, but there are so many layers to get the information needed.

  1. Hi Jessica, Good work. You are right about how hard it is to determine the credibility of information. In the real world we would put forth that kind of effort to find a doctor but we aren't used to doing it for books and articles but to do good research we need to make sure we know who is giving it.

    Hopefuly with practice it isn't so hard.
