1. Today in class we discussed different types of plagarism. We also talked about which databases work better in which types of searches. We also talked about narrowing and expanding searches.
2. The most important points to me were the different types of databases. Getting some practice searching for different topics in class helped me understand how different questions shouldn't always be searched for in the same place.
3. I would find a database that gives me an adequate number of results and start there so that i don't have to keep jumping around do different search engines. To do this i might not necessairly use the first database that i get results in, instead i might try 2 or 3 before i pick one that seems adequate.

Before trying a database, check the "description" to see if it's appropriate for your topic. Then you should be able to pick the right database more readily.
