Library Database Research Comparison

I found the LCC database less helpful in pursuing information for my essay topic. I found two articles to be somewhat useful, but not entirely akin to the kind of information I was looking for. I refined my search several times with different wording and came upon many of the same articles, which, were not necessarily what I was looking for in terms of what I am going to write about for this Essay. I think the library database may become more adept as I become more familiar with how to use it. The instructional video provided for how to use it was very easy to understand, though my search provided few results in what I was looking for. The advantages for using this system provide for publications not often found through a simple Google internet search and provide opportunities for well respected published papers such as the ones I will list following this paragraph. The first article I found was helpful in terms of good quotes from real life experiences from goat owners. The first one describes a study in Kenya in which goat ownership as pets and/or livestock were observed and the psychological effects on children after having this experience and responsibility. Overall the LCC database was certainty helpful for short, concise publications on my topic, but I was unable to find any articles with more than a page to them.
