New Year -- New Databases
Submitted by terri on December 31, 2008 - 12:00pm.Question: Which Database Should I Use?
Submitted by terri on September 19, 2008 - 3:57pm.Answer: How about searching multiple databases at the same time? Use PowerSearchPlus!
When you need wiring diagrams for your Chevy, you can use the Mitchell 1 or the Auto Repair Reference Center. When you want to download movies or e-audiobooks you will be using MyLibraryDV and NetLibrary. But, if you wanted a variety of information on the insurance giant AIG, you might not be sure which of the many databases would be best. Rather than repeating your search over and over again in different databases or miss some important information, you can now use PowerSearchPlus which will search multiple databases simultaneously for you.
