The search terms I used for finding  Challenges of Digital Communication are Internet and Globalization. This is a E-book on the Clark library. I believe this book to be credible in the fact that one of the publishers is  Wiley-Blackwell which is a well known in the wrighting community. Furthermore, it was published in 2012 so it is up to date.

My subject headings:

	Foreign news.
	Communication, International.
	Journalism -- Political aspects.
	Digital media.
	Mass media and globalization.

The search terms I used for Summit Catalog are Internet and Globalization. Computing Our Way to Paradise was published in 2010 which brings credit to the book. It also has a bibliography so you can check sources and know that the author is not just making thing up. The differents I found between the Summit Catalog and using the Clark library are most of the books are already at the Clark library. In addition there are E-books on the Clark libray catalog and not on the Summit.

Books24x7 is a wonderful place to find and read books. They have a large variety of books from Windows 2007 to PC for Dummies. Another thing I like is that you can look up full books with all text or just a few chapters. In addition, you can look up backround information about authors and publishers on subject material. I think this is a great database that I look forward in using.



My search terms are Internet and Globalization for Google books.Globalization and Cultural Trends in China seems creditable because the University of Hawai'i Press released this book. The only doubt I have is that it was published in 2004 which seems to be getting pretty old.

Exploring these databases has showed me a large selection of search results even though I used the same terms. Google books had great scholarly articles but it was hard to cite the books compared to the other search engines. The Clark library was a marvelous source in finding helpful insight on subject material. Even more, they have both E-books and in house books for finding information. In finding a book that Clark does not have to offer Summit catalog is terrific because you can order it and have it delivered to Clark in just a few days. Now for looking up authors and publishers, Books24x7 has a search engine for just that. In addition, you can look up full text books or just a few chapters on subject material. Books24x7 also has a wide variety of books so you can have many choices in deciding what would be the most effective in your writing. In conclusion, there are many search engines available however, picking the right one for the matter at hand varies depending on the material.
