The two databases that I will be analyzing are:
1. C – Computing Reviews
2. D – Dismal Scientist
1. Computing Review is a database that includes reviews of computer science literature, which includes: books, articles, conference proceedings, theses, technical reports, and Web-based. Computing Review does use controlled vocabulary to help narrow searches. They have the option to categorize searches with subjects like: General Literature, Hardware, Computer System Organization, Software, etc. One thing that I found interesting, but not surprising, is that this database updates daily. With technology advancing at its current rate, a database that caters to the topic must keep up.
2. Dismal Scientist is a database that provides economic information and analysis including over 100 economic indicators, stock market valuation, profiles by region, articles, industry information, forecasts, demographic information, and thousands of economic statistics. This database also has the option to categorize, but unlike Computing Review, Dismal Scientist categories are in alphabetical order: Agriculture, Antitrust, Banking, Central Bank, etc. Something that is interesting about this database is that it only has access to the data of the United States and Canada.
