1)Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?

 I think it is more effective to search with search engines for my topic. It is because it's more convenient to use and whatever we search for are more easily to be read. Search engines languages are in simple English, hence making it easier for us to understand while Databases are more to journals and articles, which are written by known writers, their language are more complexed. However, this doesn't mean that the information we found using search engine are reliable since we don't know when it is updated or uploaded. 

2) Name one Database which you will use for research. Why?

ESBCO Host. Previously i used it to conduct my research on report 1, and i find that this database is very useful in searching related articles which are highly reliable. And the details provided are meticulously written. Besides, the detail given are not only provided in Singapore, other countries were also included. And it is easy to use, convenient, languages are in simple English which made me easier to understand.
