Finding information in today's world may seem rather easy, especially with the accessibility of the internet and easy to use search engines like Google. However, for anyone out there that wants Real information, that is completely accurate, databases are the way to go.

While searching for information on the preservation of the Galapagos Islands, we were told to look at the databases in the Salt Lake City Library System. Out of all the databases, Historical New York Times was the only helpful source. I was able to find some information regarding my topic that can be used even though it was published in the 1980's. This database was a great resource because it provides the user with actual newspaper articles. This doesn't necessarily mean that everything is true, but to be published, it has to be very close.

While searching these databases, I found that Historical New York Times and World Book Online were the easiest to use. They had the most articles about global warming with a lot of new and interesting information. I will definitely be using them to write my research paper. I only found a few articles on Utah Digital Newspapers and they weren’t very informative. I couldn’t log into NewsBank, so I wasn’t able to use that resource at all.

In searching four different databases, I was able to find some valuable information, while still failing to discover all that I wish I could have. While searching Historical New York Times, NewsBank, Utah Digital Newspapers, and World Book Online, I was really only able to use two of the databases. NewsBank wouldn’t allow me to log on because I didn’t have the right kind of library card. And Utah Digital Newspapers failed to load any article that I clicked on. Historical New York Times gave me all the information I could need.
