An experience with regard to information universe

I’d like to talk about my experience of preparing for my graduate dissertation in my previous university.

I searched the library catalogue for the books relative with my dissertation title. The books are textbooks in electronic version.

My previous university provided us a VPN account to have access to multiple databases which should be paid, and our university has already paid for all of the listed databases on the library website of my previous university. I scanned the articles in the databases including social databases and the library resources databases of other universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University. Most of the resources in those databases were periodicals, scanned copies from magazines and other people’s papers and dissertations.

I also took advantage of search engines such as Google and Baidu to look for appropriate information on the website.

I gained much help from those online encyclopedias especially those in my study field.
