FindMore vs. Specialised Databases
Q: When should I use FindMore? How does it compare to specialized databases? A: The main strength of FindMore:
It combines a Google-like search that allows you to search through the bulk of our collection with one search.
It can be a good starting point for a quick search to see what is available out there particularly if you are unsure what specialised database to use with your topic
A: Specialised databases: They may include results not found in FindMore They provide more focused results.
