While reading Badke I gained a bettwr understanding about databases and search engines. The most important thing I learned is when searching for research remember to be precise on what your using to search. The more detail you are with what you search the better the answers. Badke gives an example of “rock” the term rock could be a solid object but also be used in the sense of rocking a chair. Being general in a search would make your life harder in finiding the perfect information needed for your research. Badke also provided websites that are great databases but given that the cuny library also has a great collection of databases for almost every type of research I find it better.

Can 100% agree with you. search engines these days are alot better the they used to be. and you can get more specific as well, the more you search the better your response is going to be. the websites are good as well i can also agree on that.
Well I do agree in some degree about putting more detail, you can get a better result but some search engine doesn’t give you that answer you want. It’s funny how when there more detail to search for information on something it gives you less resources but when there little or less t detail in a sentence then you have more unnecessary information and making more time to look for that specific resource.
