ENGL 1A (Stevenson)

Library Databases

Use Library Databases for Two Sources

 

It is time to research the contributions artificial intelligence will play or the impact it will have on the future of the career, job or hobby you have chosen to research.

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

Find two sources using any of these WVC Library databases:

  • Vocational Studies Complete or Academic Search Complete (EBSCO)
  • Vocations & Careers (Gale)

_____________________________________________________________________________

 1) Vocational Studies Complete

OR

 2) Academic Search Complete

These are two different databases. They have the same interface. Vocational Studies Complete may be better for this assignment, but you can try both.

Instructions:

  • Search your career in the first box and the phrase "artificial intelligence" in the second box in the Abstract field.

Example:

search in vocational studies complete for the words nutrition and "artificial intelligence"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  •  Look at the results and find two articles that talk about how artificial intelligence is affecting that job or career or hobby.
  • Here is a video that may help you. It starts at 1.50 seconds and reviews what to do with your results list. The video says to look for academic journal articles, but I recommend magazines for this assignment.

3) Vocations and Careers Database

Instructions:

  • Search your career and the phrase "artificial intelligence" all in the same box:

Example:

  • Look at the magazine results:
