acedemic search premier


                Academic search premier seemed to be a very good database! My topic on welfare in MN doesn’t seem to pull up a lot of books or information, so I know it couldn’t really pull up too much information on my subject either.

                I have never used academic search premier in another class before so I have no other experience with it, I do believe it will be very useful for me though.

                I have used a different database for a research class I took, unfortunately I do not remember the name of it, I took the class my freshman year in college, but it was very useful for me. It was my professor’s database that he had used since college and it would pull up such specific things on what you were looking for, there was really no need to search a lot of other places because it would pull up such useful information.

                The only fear I would have on using this would be that it would be too broad in some cases. Maybe not pulling up what I’m looking for because my topic seems to not have a lot of information out there in the first place.

  1. Hi Briggitte,

    Thank you for your post on your Academic Search Premier experience.

    While it is possible that you might not find an article in Academic Search Premier about welfare in Minnesota, would you find an article in Academic Search Premier about welfare in general? And when you search for articles about welfare, what is it about welfare that you would like to know?

    I look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,
    Professor Wexelbaum
