A. Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?
Yes, i think it is more effective to search the database as database has more authoritative source and more reliable while search engine not able to do so. Next, it is that many of them are maintain by the government agency and non-profit organization thus it has mroe accurate information than those who search through search engine which is written by others. Next, We can search even more details than others search search as we can search its year, language and more....
B. Name ONE database which you will use for your research topic. Why?
one of the database that i will use for my research topic is the LexisNexis as it can search through singapore newspaper(Straits Times) that it is official and accurate information. So that i don't have to worry my information is inaccurate/fake information.
C. Name ONE more database which you will use for your course. How will you use this database for your course?
Another database that i will use for my course will be school database Newslink. I will use this to search for my information for others module such as CMSK3 Report. Because everytime we finish use the website as reference for this report. We have to write the referecing list/Bibliography so that we would not be taken as plagarism. Thus, i need to have the those author name, year publish and title. So i can easily find it on the article that i use the database to search for. While if i use search engine to search for my information. It always not able to find any information about the author name, title and year publish.
