Getting Ready to Use Academic Search Premier

Overall, I liked using Academic Search Premier.  The features make it easy to locate your topic and narrow your results to something that you actually would like to use rather than unrealated materials.  I've never used Academic Search Premier for another class, so it's all new to me.  I know I have used other types of databases in high school, but that was so long ago I don't really remember the names of them or how I used them.  The only fear I have about using Academic Search Premier is that I will get confused with all the features and how each of them changes what kind of results I recieve.

    Hi Whitney,

    Thank you for your post on your Academic Search Premier experience. Was the Troubleshooting Academic Search Premier exercise helpful in reviewing the features?

    The Troubleshooting Academic Search Premier exercise was helpful in learning about the features Academic Search premier has to offer. Though, I'm still really struggling with creating a search string and getting accurate results. I've tried a lot of different search strings and have been really unlucky with the results.
