Database Sources (ex. Medline, Lexis-Nexus) Internet Sources
(accessed through Google, Yahoo, Altavista, etc.)
Option to limit articles for source, currency, and also for peer-reviewed sources
|
Option to construct searches using keywords, and to limit results to certain types of sites |
| Scholarly articles contained within the database must pass through an editorial process which confers authenticity |
No such review process exists, anyone can "publish" anything without any kind of review process |
| Articles accessed through these means have a stable location, and can be retrieved easily for verification of details |
Information accessed through these means tends to be highly unstable, with the format and contents of most web sites in a constant state of evolution |
