Education Mental Measurments
Today I researched the Education Mental Measurments Database. I started by searching preschool rating scales. Because the site is an ebsco product it brought up MANY results but easily enough I found one that met what I was looking for. One option I think could be very helpful for students writing research papers is the "find simular results" link that is available after you click on an article. The database narrows down your original search and chooses entries that are very simular to the one you chose originally. The database also has a create note option that I thought was really nifty. You can create notes as you go along finding things you want to include in your research. This could come in real handy, I wish I would have known more about this when I was having to write papers all the time. Like many other databases there is a direct export link as well as a sitation link that includes six different citation styles. Users can also set up a folder system with this database. I get so excited about different languages and guess what!?! This site translates full articles into any language you could ever imagine. There is also a preference option that lets you control the way the screen looks, column settings, and citation settings. This database has all the bells and whistles that make research a little less nightmare-ish!
