I chose my major discipline as law. Though I am majoring in
computer science, I am also very interested in law. I found a few different
databases that I could use and compare for which one provides the most
information. The first database I read was Georgia Code. It gave me a bunch of
different topics to choose from, such as alcohol, agriculture, animals, etc.
that I could read to understand the laws based on those subjects. Another
database I used was a website for the Georgia Attorney General’s Office. This
website was useful in that I could read about current issues that he is dealing
with. Both of these databases gave me plenty of information within seconds. The
subject specific database, in my opinion, is much faster and easier. I feel it gives
you more results on your topic. It is obviously more specific which is very
useful, because I don’t want random databases coming up that have little to nothing
to do with my research. I think that if my subject is very broad, then I would
use Discovery because it would cover a variety of topics that all are related
to a general subject. When researching something more specific, then I would
use the subject specific database.
