a) Today, October 29, 2007, in class we learned that words and phrases can cause for a better or for worse internet serach. We explored on the CSUEB database, the different sites that one can used to aquire information. In particular, we learned that the information is located in a datebase but sometimes it can be hard to find due to the words one would type in.
b) I found that if i narrowed down my searches by providing exact or specific details, I should be able to find some or several articles.
c) If use specific details in the search process, such as date and the kind of articles I should be able to locate information on several datebases. The databases that CSUEB provides such as LEXIS can be very useful.

Okay.
I would also suggest that you look at the "description" of each database to learn about its content and dates of coverage.
Specific details work in some searches and not in others. It depends what you are searching. You can also use Boolean operators, synonyms, and other techniques.
