It looks like the publishing company does encyclopedias and academic type things. Also, a quick search for the author(s) turns up several scholarly type books so I believe this is a reliable source.
All in all these four ways of getting information are very good. I had the hardest time with the library and the easiest with Google Books. Books 24x7 was cool but limited in respect to genre and Summit was probably the best of both, ease of use and search capability. The library has some issues with links that could be more efficient. It seemed to be a vicious cycle of links that would direct you back to where you started. It would be useful to have links that take you directly to the resource, even if it's kept on an outside website. With that said, I now have more than enough choices to get the information I need for my research.

ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job working through the resources, I'm glad you found some to your liking. You did a good job evaluating the items you found using ASAP. I agree that using full text resources can be more fulfilling and satisfying. I would agree that sometimes the catalog links are frustrating.
