1. What was discussed today in class? Well in class we discussed and practiced how to find certain things in databases and encyclopedia and used Britannica Online, CQ Researcher, ProQuest Newspapers, Lexis-Nexis, and Academic Search Premier for different searches of the same topic.
2. What points were particularly important to you and why? Well the points that were very important to me was the fact that some databases and search engines will not have what you are looking for while others to, so in order to get a good amount of research it is best to try multiple databases.
3. When engaging in the search process, what techniques might you use to ensure that you can continue your exploration without running into a dead end? Well in order to ensure you don't run into dead ends, try to change certain words and take out or adjust words in order to find more searches and never stop trying different things.

Yes.
In question 2, you might also consider looking at the "description" of the database to see the content before you search in it.
