I did a search for my research topic using the CUNY +, I just searched for social media and I got about 3800 records. That’s a lot. Most of the Electronic Resource were not from City Tech, they were from CUNY. But the problem with the CUNY + is that most of the books are not very specific, they are more focused on the society and stuffs like that. I guess that’s because Social Media is a new thing. I ended up with more information when I used an internet search engined. It was clearer and the articles I found was much more interesting and helpful. One more issue with the books is that it’s way too long, it would be a waste of time to read the whole thing. I prefer internet searches better than the Library resource.
