EIR Practical 4 - Invisible Web (Databases)
Yes, invisible web (databases) is much more effective in finding newspaper articles. It is very difficult to use search engines and meta-search to find newspaper articles. Most of the newspaper articles will be deleted from the website after a few weeks. Some newspaper website require you to log in or even pay in order to view the articles. Such as The Straits Times.
The Straits Times breaking news section is free but it might not be helpful for my research since there are only a few breaking news articles every day.
I remember during the last semester I used Google to search for newspaper articles for my economic project. It took me more than 2 hours to find relevant 2 newspaper articles for my project. A few weeks later after my economic project my CSA teacher teaches me how to use invisible web (databases).
Of course I will continue to use Databases for my research in business. Factiva is one of the best databases for doing research on business and economic. Because most articles in Factiva are about business and economy. I am currently using Factiva for my economic project it just took me lesser than 5 minutes to find an article related to my project. I typed in the query within the date range. The article that i found is “The demand for Indonesian coal” this article is useful my project on the topic of Demand and Supply.
I tried out wiki few weeks ago. It is good that we can share a lot of information. But all our alignment is different.
