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.
Hi Briggitte,
ReplyDeleteThank 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
