| contents | Database Advisor: A New Tool for K-12 Research Projects. Berteaux, Susan S. Strong, Sandra S. Academic Libraries Access to Information Bibliographic Databases Computer Software Elementary Secondary Education Full Text Databases Higher Education Information Retrieval School Libraries World Wide Web The Database Advisor (DBA) is a tool designed to guide users to the most appropriate World Wide Web-based databases for their research. Developed in 1997 by the Science Libraries at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), DBA is a Web-based front-end to bibliographic and full-text databases to which UCSD has remote access. DBA allows the user to specify terms, then automatically performs a keyword search of all profiled databases. When teachers, students, or library staff begin a research project, it is not always obvious which database would be the best resource to locate information on a topic. As K-12 schools rely more and more on databases via the Internet, a search tool such as DBA will be essential. This paper provides a description of how DBA works, the equipment and resources necessary to implement it, where to get the source code, and why K-12 schools should consider the product. (MES) |
