Project Muse

Looking at a database from a student perspective with little experience with these type of advance search engines, using project muse makes things a whole lot simpler. Whats neat is this 'additional search options' near the bottom where one can browse through different catagories and journals. This opens up a lot more options that might have been hidden at first. Of course, using the main search engine seems to get excellent results, in which most have a PDF file and a summary. Its clean cut and very upfront, none of this 'getting lost' within the database and ending up somewhere the student doesnt belong. Thirdly, the full text is very useful making this site one of the first 'go-to' sites for a wide range of research.
