College studies

ONLINE DATABASES andLibrary Discovery
Individual Databases• Databases are usually
organized by major subject i.e. nursing, business, etc
• Benefit: use advanced search tools to find millions of trustworthy, subject-specific resources Detriment: you have to choose and search multiple databases
Discovery Search
• Searches majority of LRC’s databases all at once
• Benefit: you just search—simple and convenient
• Detriment: You don’t get the specific treatment and advanced search capabilities of individual databases.
Today’s Research Topic is….• I am interested in a career in welding.• What skills does this career require? How can I learn more
about these skills?
