Authority in this pdf. has a list of 30+ writers, scholars and editorial reviewers. The Editorial Board carefully deliberates and evaluates submissions with dedication and scholarship. Sources, I didnt find many additional sources, but I did find a complete bibliography. Eveness on this report find me to believe that the writers of this journal share a common goal as well as supports individual opinions of the writers. Timeliness I found in this source is extremely accurate as there is a new journal published every 3 months. It would seem that they are publishing new information at current time line levels.

Author: None listed
Date Sourced: 05/29/2010
http://www.academicinfo.net/business
This site was very helpful to persue a career in the field of non profit and schooling towards it. I found this site to be credable in sources because it has several tabs to search under Business, School & Colleges, Subject Guides and Degree Information. With regards to coverage, evenness and timeliness this site didnt give me any of this information but it did give me direction to go to find what schooling I would need to start a non profit.
Summary:
The top level domain site I thought was more informative was .gov I like to go directly to the information as fast as I can and I found that the .gov sites really put the information right in front of me and I like that. I didnt find the subject directories that informative on this task, my topic was either too broad or not enough. I liked this assignment and look forward to the next.

The WWW Virtual Library Unit 7
I chose the WWW Virtual Library
Fist page has alot of information giving 15 basic catagories to choose from, I choose Art. I started playing with the search function to see how it worked, search statements: Art and Media showed me websites relating to art as well as media.
"Art Media" in quotes gave me all sites related to Art Media in quotes bringing me to websites dealing in Art Media instead of Art and Media.
I searched for Baroque Art in quotes came with an entire different set of searches then I searched for Baroque and Art came up with another completely different scope of results.
This search engine regarding Art took me to sites that actually showed pictures of art, anything and everything to do with Art, artwork, painting. I found that alot of the links are not in english when regarding Art, as well as alot of the links don't really take you anywhere most didnt work. But the ones that did, worked well I could use this search engine to really get to the point of my art and media search.
There is an advanced search engine on this site, used the same as any other search engine we have used in this class, but it has a URL match section which I found useful.

Data Base and Books Sumerize
I found unit VERY helpful in looking for better sources on the Internet vs. just an article. Books, Books, Books, WOW I had no idea that there were so many scanned books at one's finger tips. The search criteria's seemed the same and can easily be flipped between the different sites. They compare with one another in the element that they are all free to search except for the Books 24x7. I will defently search these sites before purchasing any more textbooks for college. I found that the ALL of the options to be super easy to navigate and I would utilize them all for my next research paper. I sure do wish all the english teachers would require this class before any english class. Very very good information.
