Database+Evaluation+Project

Instructions: ===‍ Today, you will be conducting research in order to learn as much as you can about one of RMS’s subscription databases. For this assignment, you will be working in a small group. You are expected to take notes on the database and present your findings back to your group. ===

‍ 1. The initials of each member of your group.
===‍ 2. An overview of the database and what it can be used for. Be specific. Think about how you might guide another student through using the database. Describe the different sections of the database. Also include details about how the search results are displayed/sorted. ===

‍__ You should evaluate your database in terms of: __
===‍ 1. Usability (Is it easy to use? Are there any instructions for using the database? Is it intuitive? Clunky? Etc.) When entering your search term does the database try to think for you? Is it helpful. === ===‍ 2. Design (Does the design of the website (how it looks) make it easier to navigate? Is there a good use of white space? Is there too much text? Does the design fell cluttered or disorganized?) ===
