things. Smart Phones nowadays are affecting Google badly because most of the work

Comparing the internet and journal article:
Ease of Access:
When comparing both articles on how difficult or easy to access them, I can say that database
article is easier to access. When I searched my topics, I got exactly what I wanted. I read people
point of views on my topic, and cite was given on the library database articles. Whereas on the
internet article, it is difficult to find the article exactly to what my topic was. I was continuously
getting something that was not related to my topic exactly, so I had to make my search
keyboards better and better. Also, citation was hard to get. I had to use easy bib for that.
Timeliness:
On database article, timeliness was not a problem because articles were coming in chorological
order whereas in the internet online source, I had works hard to get the article published 30 days
ago. In this sense, I believe database article was easy to search and look at.

Authority:
In database article, Author name is always given with his biography and sources he used written
citations. Also, it also tells how to cite the article. These all are good things because it tells
where all the information came from. Whereas in the internet article, sometimes it gives the
author name, and most of times published date was hard to find out.
