EIR BLOG POST PRACTICAL 6!

Hi,i back here again! Okay,this week we were thought how search the invisible web(databases). The database we asked to use was EBSCOhost Databases from temasek poly digital library portal! Everything was new to me,and btw i love to explore new things! When i cliked on journals,there was many tabs to customize my search. It was like an advance search engine. There are many search options! You can use boolean operators and many more. I typed in my topic and 26 results came out!
Advance searches makes it easier and narrows down our search.
The results are summarized and even the Authors,Source,Document Type,Subject Terms,Author-Supplied etc. It shows you results in a very systematic way. This is real perfect!
