The Summit Catalog:

Differ: Format is different, other than that same information type.

Books 24x7:
I thought this was a pretty interesting database because a lot of information is available. There is a variety of search lists and each subject can be selected differently. I like how this database is very selective that way it narrows down search results.

Google Books:
Search Term: Privacy
Citation: Holtzman, David H. Privacy Lost: How Technology Is Endangering Your Privacy. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2006. Print.
Credible? Yes, it followed the ASAP

Summary:
I learned how each book record worked differently as well as how each was kind of the same. They all related to books and the different search terms. I took away that there were many kinds of references that can be used for searching a term.

  1. Hi, Kendra:

    Thank you for your report. I was hoping you would be specific in what ASAP you used for evaluation, such as, Author, this author has written extensively on the topic, or is a professor at XY University?

    I'm glad you found each resource interesting and easy to use. Hopefully these catalogs will be helpful in the future as well.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
