When looking up information on the internet, especially specific information, one can easily become overwhelmed. I believe most people’s first instinct is to use google search engine to find an answer. But that isn’t always the best route to go. For example, say I am looking to find information about a specific piece of literature that isn’t very popular and was written a long time ago. Instead of google, which would probably be filled with other peoples comments on the source, I should use something like a university library database. Library Databases allow you to narrow down your search in order to find primary sources as opposed to people’s opinions about a primary source. Another example would be if you’re looking for a specific video. Instead of googling the description of the video, you may be better off going to youtube first in order to narrow down the possible list of results. If you just google a video, and sort by videos, you’re going to see videos from a variety of different websites not just youtube. This may be a good thing if youtube doesn’t have what you’re looking for, but it may be a bad thing if the other websites don’t host videos well or if the videos are locked behind some kind of add or pay wall.
