1. What was discussed in class today (Friday)?
In class on Friday, we discussed databases and how to search through them using boolean operation words.
2. What points were particularly important to you and why?
When databases were discussed, I thought of the convenience of this service. No longer would we have to spend long hours through aisles of books, laboriously search through mountains of pages, and carry tons of hard-covered dumbbells in and out of the library. During high school, this would have been very useful had I known that there was this much information in the online databases of libraries.
3. How can you use the techniques discussed in class today (Friday)?
Reports, research papers, and the river of life should flow much easier now. All of the information waits to be unharnessed, standing readily by, being held back only by one click of the mouse.
4. What ideas and thoughts do you have about this search strategy?
As I`ve stated before, this search strategy is very useful. Its convenience is conducive to make reports as quick and easy as possible. I can`t say anything more. I think it`s pretty neat and nifty. This way, we wouldn`t have to go through the mounds of secondary sources; the primary sources are just one click away. I think that it`s very nice, to be honest.

In item 2, try to remember that the "dumbbells" are useful, too. It's about the information, the content, not necessarily the format in which it comes. I love databases myself - they're convenient - but if information comes in another format and it's the information I want or need, then I'm grateful to take it in whatever format it comes.
