WWW Database

This week in class I learned how to perform different types of searches on the Internet. I learned about subject directories, the invisible web and using the ERIC database. I was already familiar with the ERIC database but not with the other two methods. I also used Ask.com for the first time when searching for research. I am glad that I learned about the invisible web because I believe that it will come in handy down the road when searching for topics or publications on a topic. What I really liked about the ERIC database was the types of information that was found, i.e. articles, journals, etc. I also found useful the subject directories and being able to narrow your search that way.
