After exploring the Hunt Library I was thoroughly impressed
with how easy it was to access all different kinds of information. This was my
first time exploring the library and I was able to maneuver through it with
ease. I discovered I can search any topic I want and the information will
populate just like the site Google except this information is narrowed down to
information based on facts backed by researched. When I searched leadership in
the Hunt Library for instance multiple links pulled up on all kinds of
different leadership topics. The links were all labeled and broken down into
different categories such as articles, books etc.
When I search leadership in Google I was bombarded with all
things involving leadership and or anything with the word leadership within the
body of information. The information was not categorized nicely like in the
Hunt Library, some of the information was outdated and some of the information
was just advertisement from companies trying to get people to buy their product
or attend their seminars on becoming a good leader.
The main difference between the two resources would be the
Hunt Library is a scholarly resource, meaning I can trust that the information
will be up-to-date and accurate, however with Google the information can be hit
or miss. With Google I do not know if the references provided are valid or
trustworthy and with Hunt Library I do. I definitely will use the Hunt Library in all of my future
research.
