Practical 6

Invisible web databases such as EBSCO provides information on topics in terms of online journals written by professionals, specialising in their own field of work, or filings by companies, or even . These journals are chosen by indexes from EBSCO, and are kept up to date from time to time. This ensures that content written in these journals have a higher reliability. This would also mean that the content is usable for educational purposes. These topics are excerpts from books that can be retrieved from libraries such as the TP library.

Though, compared to search engines, invisible web databases as the name suggests, are only visible to certain people. This is so as only members such as educators and students are given access to these information. Unlike search engines, that can be used by anyone from any walks of life.

In terms search results, invisible web databases have a more reliable. It has a rather limited number of search results, but most of them have good enough content for my topic. The content is also rather short and most of the time do not have enough information regarding the topic.

2. Will you use the invisible web (databases) for research in your own respective Diplomas? Why?

Invisible webs are a little too troublesome to use as there are log ins required and most of the content are very limited.

3.What have you learnt from your wiki experience during this practical?

Wikis are rather useful, ONLY if your discussion topic is responded to. A wiki page may become irrelevant when the page is not constantly updated.

I will look forward to our next class!
