Use the reference interview to determine the resources needed to do the research. What is the subject area? How much information is needed and how in-depth? Is current or historical information needed? Are scholarly or popular resources required? From the information you garner during the reference interview, determine if initially you want to consult databases or the Web. Remember, you can always change your mind.
The following guidelines can help you determine if a Database is the appropriate choice. In general, database information has been vetted and the database vendors take responsibility for the quality of the material they are providing, therefore you can be confident that the material is credible. When articles or specific journals are requested databases are the reasonable choice because of the efficient searches they provide, their access to full text articles and the ease of tracking down citations. If your patron has book questions, WorldCat and Books in Print databases are invaluable resources, both can be used to find books on a topic, identify a title and verify a citation. If instead your patron is in need of a textbook, Amazon.com can be of help. Business questions, due to the nature of the question…which is probably worth money, will most likely require a database for a credible answer. Two popular business databases are Million Dollar database and Business and Company Resource Center. Law questions should be addressed using commercial legal databases because they provide the authority needed for this subject. Medical databases such as MEDLINE and PubMed are practical starting points for medical questions.
