1. Today in calss we discussed databases and how to search them.
2. Some of the important points we discussed were how to search the databases using "or" and "and" to get exactly the type of results you want. Another point was the online database on CSUEB.com to find news articles.
3. The techniques can be used to find information for homework, research papers, and narrow down searches to eliminate unwanted information. It is time saving and convienant.
4. It is a very useful search strategy. I have been taught in brief detail the use of "or" and "and" in online searches before but was never informed the exact differences of each. It also seems useful to use the "not" feature for excluding results that keep littering the searches or things you want to avoid beforehand.

We have just started looking at databases and we'll look at more in our next class.
Our list of databases can be found at http://www.library.csueastbay.edu/offcampus_databases.htm
We don't have "CSUEB.com"
