Posted on December 7, 2011 by Danny

Second thing i wish we went over longer is how to find citations for authors or how many citations an author has gotten altogether.

Third thing i wish we spent more time together as a group for the lc 14

Danny Park. My 11/6 classwork post

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Danny

My first database I went into was the “Dismal Scientist” database. It is used mainly by business students and faculty to find out just about anything statistical about the market or anything related with business statistics. The title “Dismal Scientist” suggested to me, that it be more about science but to my amazement was about business science, a whole different subject. Its strengths are finding market trends, business information, statistics on market values, and other business related searches. When i searched up science on the database it showed me links to the industry outlook, emerging market, economic preview, and etc which to me is a weakness that its only pertaining to business. Opportunities are everywhere in this database for selling the database easily to business companies and threats are companies that have business on their database as well as other topics. It has a search not like Google and more like a news paper. It has only a small box not really showing much you can do with it other than advanced searching. I like this database because of all the visual material put on the cover page to show readers graphs and market trends or such.

My second database I went into was “Philosopher’s Index” which is what seems to me a more specified version of EbscoHost. Of course the strengths would be having so much data on anything philosophy related if searching for material from 1940 to present.  The weakness would be having only data from 1940 to present. Opportunities might be finding more material before 1940. Threats are other databases that have more material on philosophy but since its combined with EBSCOhost it seems complete with knowledge from other subjects as well. I don’t see much threat to this database. I find this database very useful for finding material because with control vocabulary it makes searching more simpler. With all of the advanced searching, getting specific with words isn’t a hard thing to do.

how to research – the danny park method

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Danny

How i do research is simple. think search write. think about the topic and the subtopics. lets use the example Google. Then Google’s subcategories might be different apps or parts of Google. like the company itself or what may be inside the company like Gmail or Google docs vs Google owning Youtube. After a specific topic is thought up of, u go to any search engine, Google, and search it up. Afterwards when writing about the topic u use many different sources from Google to make sure the information is correct. Just using one link or source from Google may not be completely accurate and may need evidence of the trustworthiness of the source. This is the way I do research.
