Question: What did you learn from reading someone else's blog?
I read Michelle's blog entry about learning how to use the four search engine tools and comparing them to databases. I learned when comparing a database to a search engine, the search engine contains a significantly large amount of sites as opposed to the organized and credible however few numbered sites that a database holds. The blog was informative and allowed readers to understand why each source is important.
Sarah, great to see you writing on your blog. A clarification: there are not 4 different types of search engines but rather 4 different types of Internet search tools. They are: search engines, metasearch engines, subject guides/Web directories and specialty search tools/databases.
