Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban. Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business, says Hyatt, an owner of a fur store. ____40____

It is relevant. When searching for information in the database, you should be able to customize your search to get results relevant to you. There are several ways to search through a database, for example, using discipline-specific terminology (术语), keywords, subject headings, etc.    37  

   38    One of the main differences between the information you find on the internet and that in databases is that the information found in databases is often peer-reviewed. Furthermore, the information in the database should have key identifiers such as the publication details, author’s name, and a summary that you can use to evaluate the information’s credibility.

It is accessible. First of all, access to the library is either free or purchased by patrons (赞助者) so that you can access the information within it at no price.    39    Secondly, the database should provide the full-text of the articles, meaning you will not need to go to the library or the source to do so.

    40    It is an academic search engine. It doesn’t always have the articles’ full texts, and you may have to go to their libraries and find or pay for them. Also, the search engine scours the internet for information that seems academic, and some of this information isn’t always peer-reviewed.

A. It is reliable.

B. It is reasonable.

C. You may have to pay a small subscription fee as an independent researcher.

D. Google Scholar isn’t a database using these aspects as a determining criterion.

E. It is organized so that searching and finding this information is easy and rapid.

F. They are all relevant factors to be referred to when searching educational databases.

G. You can set limitations such as the source type and the date or search by author or title.

Endangered species

An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. ______36______ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.
