Oh databases, how I <3 thee.

My mind is full of databases this week, as we have been working on indexes for my reference class, and I really think I may dream about them this evening. This goes back to need for quality instruction. When I started my Masters program I had no idea how to search for things. I just would randomly type things in Google and hope for the best. Now, thanks to a year and a half of classes, I feel like I don't suck quite as bad as I did, but I still have miles to go.

Early knowledge of how to work these databases and do a good quality search will not only save time and heartache in a students life, it will increase their ability to find even simple things.
