Hi Everyone,
For this practical, I had to do research on the invisible web or databases using our very own TP library SPARKS system and TP's database on library.books24x7.com. I am quite familiar with SPARKS and so doing the first part was rather easy for me. However as I am new to the second database, it was slightly more difficult for me to find it and start off. Personally, I feel that databases can be rather effective if it belongs to the library as it will contain information on which book to search for however if I were to find websites, the normal search engines will be more beneficial. I prefer search engines to databases as it has a much bigger range of websites and resources compared to the database. Having said that, I will definitely use databases for my research in the future as it will help me find the information I need more efficiently and save me alot of time searching through library books trying to find the right one for my project.
I learnt to edit and also improve on the previous information I had on the wiki but I also nearly deleted all the information on my entry by mistake as I did not know how to restore to the old document after editing. But luckily, I did not save it and so my research is safe.
Well, thats about it everyone. Its already late, take care everyone.
