Online database vendors like EbscoHost, LexisNexis, and ScienceDirect work hard to make it easy for you to access their data. Librarians and other information professionals work hard to make your people aware of the resources and how to use them.
Example … suppose you are interested in a topic characterized by the key phrase …
Sulfur breakthrough
You search, let’s say, ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.coms) and come up with several interesting items …
