Unit 5 Summary

                                                      Unit 5 Summary

I found this assignment to be helpful when making a judgement call on a certain resource.I can look through all these databases and look at hundreds of book titles,and preview and review all the books I can but unless I actually go out to the library,check it out and read it,all I can do is make educated guesses and assumptions and hope for the best.The Cannell Library Book Catalog I actually found to be the most helpful and was truly confident it had information supporting my topic.The Summit Catalog was pretty helpful as well and I thought was very user friendly in helping out your search by taking away those extra seconds looking at irrelevant information and giving you a little more convenience.I didn't find the Book24x7 to be very helpful in my search,now don't get me wrong I would definitely use that site for educational purposes on a certain subject I want to learn but I don't think it was helpful for research at all.I found Google Books to be an ok site for research but it seems to me like its more of a shopping website than a research website and provides a huge spectrum of books,rather than a selection of books that will help me on my research topic.But overall I found each of these websites to be helpful in their own way and will use them for future reference.
