For this week's discussion, you are asked to find at least one other credible resource with information on how business information systems are used in an organization which you have chosen (or one with which you are familiar).

After reviewing this guide will be able to:

• locate subject databases in the library.
• search for a credible article on your topic.
• evaluate the article for its creditibility.

To search for resources in the Library databases, try one of the broad, general Business & Management databases -- Business Source Complete or ABI/Inform Complete are good options. These databases can be found on the Business and management research home.

To enter a search, type your chosen terms into the database search box.  If your term is broad (e.g. Human Resource Management) you may wish to combine one of the above terms with the term information system.  
 

1. On the Library homepage, navigate to the Research by Subject box.
2. Click on Research by Subject and choose: Business & Management
3. Now let's choose the database Business Source Complete. Login with your myWalden email and password. 
4. Type your keywords into the search boxes for example:
   
   
   
   First Search Box:  
   
   information system
   
   Second Search Box:  
   
   human resources management
    
5. Under the search boxes, click inside the check mark boxes for "Full Text" and "Peer Reviewed".
   Here's what the Full Text and Peer Reviewed boxes look like:
