My analysis of Library and Literature and Information Science Full Text Database through Kent Link:
I found it difficult and frustrating locating appropriate articles in the Library Literature and Information Science Full Text Database. Locating articles was the easy part, however I was unable to find the same article in the Social Sciences Citation index in varying that the articles were cited 5 or more times. I spent a large amount time working on this assignment by continually narrowing down my search criteria to find cited articles. Going back and forth between both databases was time consuming and inefficient when looking for cited articles, since the majority of articles I located were cited less then 5 times. I didn’t particular care for this database.
My analysis of Google Scholar:
I found this database easier to use and found my search terms were more successful in locating articles then in Library Literature and Information Science Full Text Database. What I particularly liked about this database is that it told you whether the information was an article, book, presentation or another type of material. It also told you how many citations each item had; you didn’t need to go to another database to get this information. However, like the previous database I had to weed through a lot of information to find articles that was appropriate for this assignment.
Final Analysis:
Overall, I found this assignment challenging, but rewarding when I was able to locate the appropriate cited articles. I wasn’t aware of these databases before the assignment and don’t see myself using either except maybe in future assignments I might have while obtaining my MLIS degree.
