My Databases…

M- MarketResearch.com

  • In this database it aims in the field of marketing so it would probably be used in a marketing class or any beginner business class.  This database is used by business professionals not only in America but around the globe since it provides research reports for over 2,000 industries in the world. It is mostly used  industry overviews, competitive analysis, market trends, product innovations, consumer behavior, and market share in industries in the Food Department to even Science and Technology.  Most of the results in this database are downloadable and using a PDF file containing not only information but images as well. In every report there is an abstract and a chapter of contents that will break the information into subtitles. However, there is no controlled vocabulary in the search. I never seen a database that will have a chapter of contents and I think that is very helpful when there is a report that is over 200 pages and your only interested in a certain topic in the field. It makes it very convenient for the uses when they want to skim through different topics.

P- Philisopher’s Index

  • In this database, which you can tell from its name is used for philosophical information. This database will probably used for a philosophy class or any class along those lines like ethics. It is a database from EBSCOhost which mean that it will contain articles from scholarly journals, books, book chapters and book reviews. Yes, there is controlled vocabulary depending on your search and which field you choose when searching. If you specify in subject field, your world will be in the subject of every result. There isn’t anything really unique in this database since it is under EBSCOhost which is the center of many databases.
