Topic 1 - Using the Library's Databases

This was a very useful topic.  Having a step by step guide on how to access journals etc through EbscoHost Databases to me was amazing.  Each step was clearly defined and to have the ability to breakdown the search was fabulous.  I wish that when I started University in 2005 my Uni provided us with this step by step guide.  It certainly would have saved hours and hours of plowing through endless journals to find the exact one!!!

I did find Informit searches a little more complicated.  Whether it was the fact I was use to EbscoHost through Uni I am not sure.  I will however endeavour to use Informit during my research for particular journals.

Having the options of folders was a novice concept for me.  I always tended to print off endless of journals in fear of not being able to relocate the journal.  This will eliminate the paperwar and certainly streamline the whole activity.
