Reflection on practical 6

Personally I find databases more effective than search engines, as databases provide more relevance results than search engines. Search engines is able provide more results than databases but less relevance results. As for subject directory, I do not like it at all. Subject directory does not have user-friendly features and often unable to produce the results that I wanted.

If I was to choose one databases for my research I will choose Proquest. Proquest might not produce a lot of results for my topic but the results that they have are very useful and updated.

As for my course Moving Images (Animation), I will choose ebook database from the library. Most of the time we animators will be busy in the studio rushing for submission and do not have time to go to the library to look up on books that can help us on our drawing. With ebook, i able to access to the library anytime and anywhere.
