DEAR DUMB DIARY
9:32 AM
Today I've learnt some extremely cool websites called invisible web gateways, such as Academic Gateway and The Complete Planet. However, I don't find it very user friendly and the results I get are very few and irrelevant.
Whereas, the Temasek Polytechnic's E-books database ITPRO and the TP Digital Library Portal Research Gateway are definitely very helpful and I would definitely use them for research for my future projects. Although the ITPRO has much lesser hits than the typical search engine, it allows you to view the books entirely as TP has already bought the license.
The ITPRO allows me to view different chapters of the book easily, without starting from the first page and scrolling down all the way down to the page I would like to view like PDFs.
The TP Digital Library Portal gives much lesser hits but relevant results.
Similarly to the ITPRO, it allows me to view the entire text, however it does not give a clear heading to the chapters. Hence, I have to scan through the entire text like PDFs to find the relevant information I require. Overall, both ITPRO and the Digital Library Portal gives very few results as well, but relevant and detailed.
I've posted a reply to the discussion forum a few days ago, and today I've got another reply! This time, the person really helped me a lot by explaining certain things to me clearly. Now, I'm just at loss on how to reply and continue the discussion.
