• How did this search differ from the search in the Cannell Library Book catalog?

This search went straight to more college printed articles, but overall they were both really helpful and both really easy to use.

It Pro

It pro is very user friendly, easy to use and understand. I like that you can really get down and filter out the things you don't need, or even make your list very focused on only the things that you do need. It has a general info choice, and with that a bunch more choices with that, which could be very useful in the beginning or a project. Or even if you are not sure what it is that you are looking for. You can look for only certain authors, or just publishers. This would definitely be a great site if you really know what information you are looking for.

• What clues does Google Books provide that lead you to believe this book is trustworthy?

The synopsis of the book states that it is from a legal stand point and that its a reliable guide. It is also published by a company called Law and Business. 

What did I take from all of this:  I think that all the research tools that I used here were very helpful. I prefer to use the library resources because I know that they are reliable resources  They all have the basic beginning concept with the initial search, I even found the same book on a couple of the sites. For the sake of the assignment I did not just use the same book every time  They are all very similar to each other. I like how easy they are to use, if anything was to change I would do that same as I always do and would need to adapt and get use to the new way. Like I said I like to use the computers at Clark. I think that It Pro is pretty nifty I have never seen that one before today, but very nice, easy to handle and convenient.
