homework#9 – joey

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.

While reading chapter 3 of Badke’s book I finally found the answer in how to do a better research while using certain databases. We all might use google, library databases and etc to find information for our research papers and may find our selves going through many given results until we find the right one. That is as Badke explained we type for example ” interact ” and we get many results that include the word interact. His insights were very helpful, to make sure we use the right keyword(s) to find the “better ” and close result to what we might be looking for.
