Personal Reaction:
If I were to sum up this chapter in one sentence, I would say its content is on the importance of using college library databases. It thoroughly goes through the steps to find your research topics, such as what keywords to enter into the search bar, how to navigate the database, etc. I found the information this chapter provided to be helpful, especially since our class will be using a lot of these libraries for our upcoming research paper.
Professional Reaction:
Chapter 16 is everything about library databases in a short, concise five pages. It talks about the pros of using library databases, how their information is often more reliable and helpful, versus the regular internet, which can give false information or not be filtered well. Next the chapter leads us through detailed steps of how exactly to locate information on the internet, which, in this modern day is pretty much a learned skill. However, it was still nice to review on how to enable a key word or subject search function. All-in-all, it was an enlightening chapter for those who have trouble navigating the internet, or for others simply just a review.
