Challenge #5

I find searching using Ebsco A-Z can either be really fruitful or highly irritating. I think once i really figure out the language they use or the correct search terms to use not to mention the specific ways to break down the search, I tend to find what I'm looking for. It's a little mental exercise to find the best way to get the information I actually want to find. I think it can be a little overwhelming for the average library user who is content with using google for their information. I think a lot of patrons are not aware of these databases and when we educate them on it they just say I'll use google or wikipedia to get my articles. Its a tad frustrating but every now and then you break through to that kid who really does need the article and they are more then grateful that we can help and show them how to do it themselves for the future.
