Library Orientation: I Can Google It Faster

I Can Google It Faster - Why Use Library Databases Instead of Google or AI

Best Plan

The goal with academic research is to find high quality resources that are tightly aligned with your area of study. While using a search engine or AI technology can provide information quickly, accessible results are limited to open access documents. Part of your tuition fees help to fund the library's subscription services to research databases and professional journals curated by the university's faculty along with our research librarians. Why not take advantage of these specialized resources that are readily available to you as a DIU student?
