My major discipline of interest falls under the medicine and health database. I have never looked under this database before so I was very pleased when I found the dentistry sub-field. Since I plan to become a dentist I was very interested as to what I would find under this tab. As i continued my search, I was a little stuck. I was brought to a page with several different databases including academic search complete and proquest. I decided then to search "dental school criteria" as my keywords to see what information I could obtain. After doing this, I saw several articles talking about specific requirements for admissions into dental school. I believe the results I got were very accurate. I got exactly what i was looking for without any difficultly at all. When I searched using the discovery tool, I received way more results, some of which seemed a little off topic to me. The subject specific database gave me more accurate results than the discovery tool did. These search engines will be useful to me when I start to look for resources for my research paper. I believe I will find alot of useful articles related to my topic under the specific subject database.
