Make sure your sources are correct before using them in a paper. To do this use the library searching site. :)

I think that the part of looking at the different databases and how to use them is very helpful.

Using the truncation as well as learning how to use "or" vs. "and". Both of these tools helped to bring up a wealth of different information about a given topic. Overall the whole presentation was very informative. I enjoyed being a part of this demonstration.

Searching databases will be much more effective than browsing through countless google articles only to find mostly worthless information.
The Advanced search feature seems very helpful in finding articles related to topics.
Thanks!
