Five:
a. The database article is harder to access compared to the internet
article. In order to view it, I need to log into my CCBC account and
search through the library database. I also need to use the advanced
search to ensure that the results only show scholarly articles. This
article is not as recent as the internet article. This journal article was
written in April of 2014. This article was written by Durgamohan
Musunuri, an employee of the Institute for International Management
and Technology in Gurgaon, India. This article by far has more
Authority than the internet article. This article is found within the
Journal of Technology Management for Growing Economies.
b. The internet article was much easier to access than the database
article. I simply typed in the website and searched for my keywords
and the article showed within the search results. I also could have
typed the website and the keywords into a search engine and it would
have been pulled the article up within the top ten results. The
timeliness of this article is more recent. Although it was written one
month after the database article, it has been updated just over a week
ago. This article was written by Deena Zaru. The authority of this
article doesnt compare to that of the database article. Although I
would consider this a reputable source, it is not found within a
scholarly journal.
