IT Pro

The additional fields in IT Pro really break down the search.  There are eight different criteria you can plug in to refine your search. An example is Authors/Speakers, Full Text, Publishers, Code Listings , ISBNs, Titles, In Notes, or All listings.  This would give you a lot more options to research the information you were looking for.   Then you can focus on five different word searches like Exact Phrases, Boolean, any words or all words.  Next you can list the copyright year for like, before, or after and choose the date.  With all of this additional information you can plug in, it seems one could have a lot more tools to work with. I had no idea just how in-depth you can go to research a topic on the internet. This is all pretty amazing and once you learn how to use it, it's just at your fingertips.

  1. Hi, Berinda;

    This is a database of electronic books, so the super search power was set up to give the users more control. This is part of the deep web, we pay for the subscription and you pay for access through your student fees.
