Research Journal

From the in-class activity, the use of Google scholar for advanced search created new possibilities for source hunting. One of the most interesting features of this search engine is that you can link college library databases to the search engine(up to 5) allowing for a wide range of results. In addition, the advanced search setting is more user friendly than the college’s academic database search engine. I say this because I was able to find much more relevant search results faster using Google Scholar. However both of these resources far outshines regular internet searching where the information is not as reliable and it can be difficult to find the sources you want when only  using keywords. Google scholar makes life a bit easier with the available setting features, giving you a fusion of internet and database search all in one.
