b. I learned how to creatively broaden and to narrow up my search.

c. I learned how to create my own citations in various material types.

2. Spending more time learning how to create citations would have been useful.

3. Its easy and it helps you understand blogging more.

4. The font issue must be solved.

5. I took this course last semester and by the 7th week since i was way behind, i decided not to attend any more, But this semester i actually learned a lot and found out how the AUC Library is a fine place to conduct research of any kind. And i  think this course being obligatory is a good way to make students realize how easy research can be made.

1. CIAO is better than PIAS in the sense that it contains more articles of relevance to my research question, but PIAS is better in the sense that it has more options and its more sophisticated. For example PIAS has the exporting option and it gives you information about documents available, unlike CIAO that only provide limited information for most of its documents. PIAS also automatically categorize results by type. ex: articles, journals etc.

2. No, theyre both fast. (Neither have search timer; therefore, according to my opinion)

3. Yes, CIAO contains more articles that relates to my topic than PIAS.

4.No, in researching my topic (specifically) i would be using both databases according to what i need.

5.No, enough already.    

2. Law and economics, International relations, Sociology of culture, Criminal justice.

3. Political Science (B.A.), Sociology (B.A.), International Relations Minor.

4a. LexisNexis Academic Universe, because it contains articles about Business, Law, Sociology, news, legality news etc. I believe its appropriate for my research.

4b. Oxford Journals Online, The Oxford Journals Online database contains a lot of full text articles that relate to my research question like Political Science, African Studies, Law, International Relations, Psychology, and Refugee Studies. Which can be very helpful.
