Effective Database Searching

First of all, we must establish the basic differences between the kind of sources you have access to through our database resources, versus the kind that you are likely to find on the free web. First of all, using the free web (using Yahoo, Google, or any other search engine) can be an excellent way of finding a wealth of information about a given subject, but the information may or may not conform to your professor's idea of good sources.
