Assignment 7: Getting Ready to Use Academic Search Premier
The Academic Search Premier seems like a really good database to use if you are going to be doing a research project. Nearly all of the information I have found so far while using it has been accurate and helpful. This is the first time I have used the database but I will defiantly be using it more often for any kind of research. I have used the Miller Center database and that is a good one to use too, I had to use it for a Communications class last semester and it is fairly similar to the Academic Search Premier, you just type your subject in the search bar and it brings up tons of information on that subject. I am a little apprehensive to use this new database though because it seems a little complicated; I still need to figure out how to use it to its full potential.

Hi Ava,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post about Academic Search Premier.
What Miller Center database do you refer to? If it is the simple "Articles and Databases" tab, with one search window, that is also Academic Search Premier...just behind a different window, and without all of the features to limit your searches.
Practice makes perfect with databases! We will review the features in class.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
