I found that Book24x7 wasn't as helpful in the type of material I was looking for on the subject.It seems to be more of an education database filled with guides and how-to books and books meant for educational purpose rather than books focusing one person's perspective on a subject.

Clues:To tell you the truth I don't know how trusting this book is to really touch on the topic but after reviewing the contents inside and looking over the other results I believe this to be the most relevant find.

Hi, Tyler:
ReplyDeleteYou found a wide variety of books and talked a little bit about one aspect of ASAP, you should consider the other elements like publisher and author as well to determine the relevance of the book. I think for your topic you want to have books from the last 5 years to be current. However, it appears you were able to successfully find books in each resource and that is a good skill to have.
Cheers,
Andrea
