ENG 105 (Tucker)

On Finding Books & CONSORT

PROS:  

• Limits books at first to OWU-only results (can be less confusing for first time searchers)
• Allows for a subject search which breaks a topic into categories or resource types e.g search School sports as Subject or High school athletes
• Includes reference and e-book titles, expanding access.
• Books offer very diverse kinds of resources, from popular to statistical to historical. Good for many causes.

CONS:

• Can't get really specific or put too many words in
• Does not correct spelling
• Because it only limits to OWU, must click Search OhioLINK button to expand search to other schools to get more result options
• Books take a long time to come out. If you're trying to write about very recent events and trends, you may not find many resources.
