Day 5
28th October ; Tuesday
Today's lesson was on Invisible web (databases). I do heard about this from my parents saying that these are the websites which cost money to access. What I didnt know was that TP actually owns one too. I do know about TP Digital Library Portal Research. But i didnt know that it is the Database we are talking about today.
Personally, I find it very troublesome while logging in. If I were given a choice to choose between Invisible web and search engines, meta search and yahoo directory, I would definately choose search engines, meta search and yahoo directory. Firstly, it is more conviently to access. Saving time going through the process of logging in. Secondly it is free.
But I must agree with the fact that the information in a invisible web (taking TP Digital Library Portal Reaseach as an example) has more indepth and trustful information. I am quite impress with the search results. They actually gave the details like the title, year of publication, author and stuffs. Thumbs up for that! (:
