Butler Resources/ Online Databases

The Butler online database is a wonderful resource to find specific subject for any assignment, especially 4 this assignment it was very easy to get a story on drinking alcohol using opposing viewpoints. The story was only a few clicks on the mouse away. The tough part was going thru all the stories and picking just one, it took me only 5 minutes to get to the stories and a few minutes to pick a story. It also made my time easy because we had a guest come to our class that had showed us everything on the online database. To get to the online database by going to your pipeline account, then click on the library database tab on the top of your pipeline account, then you could find plenty of databases to get what you are looking for, you can even get a printed version of your work cited by choosing the citation machine, then just need the article or book you was looking at to get the information to type into the places where they are asking for. It is an easy process to get an assignment work cited and all you have to do is just print it out, it works for books, articles, and online books. If we didn’t have our guest come in and show us about these resources and how to us it I would have had a hard time to do reports for my other classes, even though I came from another college that had similar database but it was more complicated and their was no one to show how to use it to our advantage.
