Hola everybody, its me again. So long I've never done a blog post since I'm very busy and my tight schedule. So this is my delay entry for the Practical 6 Searching via Database for my EIR. Ok let me explain, more information what I have learn on this related research that I learn during the EIR lesson.
Firstly, I had been searching the TP Database via Digital Library Portal via
http://spark.tp.edu.sg/. When I had enter this Library portal, first at my thought is it was exactly no much different portal like other library portal like example the NLB (National Library Board). But after I had enter this portal, I saw a various numbers of Research Database such as EBSCOHost, Factiva, NewsLink etc. So my thoughts will if this portal was wrong.
To search my related topics that is
Early Childhood Trauma via this database research, I decided to search via EBSCOhost. When I search the related topics in the search field, the search result outcome show many relevant journals. In my opinion, I find it was very useful. The search database result give me an interesting information about my given topics. This will help me more better for my research more effective.
EBSCOhost
Beside EBSCOhost, I also search via other research database like Factiva. As for Factiva when I want to search my given topic, the search result was not relevant as its show different topics that I want to search for. As a result I fount EBSCOhost is better research database than Factiva. As Factiva will not be helping my research more useful and effective.
FACTIVA
Beside searching the TP Digital Library portal, there was another resources for the research portal and it is searching the Invisible web that is
TP’s E-books database ITPRO via http://library.books24x7.com . After I search my given topics in this database resource, I found that the search results are not relevant. It is because this related database doesn't have any relevant books or articles that containing my given topics. Other reason should be this database resources is not up to date. So my opinion that searching the Invisible web like E-books database ITPRO is not effective and useful compare than the digital library portal research database such as EBSCOhost.

With that knowledge of research database that will be the end of my entry. Pls wait for any interesting updates and post. Good evening and enjoy ur day. :)
