Searching using the J-Stor Database

Before today, I never knew how to use a internet database. I had never even heard of J-Stor, but after listening to the instructions given to us by Hara Brook, it became very simple and beneficial for me to use J-Stor. I like how easy it is to use. I also like how I can type in a few simple topics, then click the search button, and many different pieces of writing pop up, that all pertain to that topic. Now that I have an understanding of how to use J-Stor, it will be easier for me to do research for future projects, and know that what I am finding has some credibility. It is amazing how many results you can find by simply typing a subject into a database.

Im glad I was able to find J-Stor of some use.




The following are only a few of the many results that I found to be of use:
