Last Thursday I attended the Database Survival workshop in the Library. It was extremely informative, giving an outline of all the databases that Baruch offers, LexisNexis, Jstor, etc. What I found very informative was the amount of magazines that some of these databases had. It would have been even better if they had some sort of current-events database that updated as news was broadcasted. A feature that I liked in much of the databases was the ability to search using inclusive and exclusive terms such as “and” “or” and “not”. Otherwise, everything else was pretty much self explanatory, much like a high-scaled google search. All it all, it was very informative but it really didn’t need to be that long. I think the administration forgets that we are a breed of the 21st century and don’t need that long to comprehend the internet.
