Research Journal Section:
1. I used "Middle class expansion due to industrialization in Europe", as well as "Economic middle class in Europe and industrialization"
2. The main limiter I used was to limit the article date from 1950-2018, with 'sort by relevance' left on.
3. I got a huge amount of results, covering a wide variety of topics. There were tons of results that I never got searching the library databases, such as welfare states in Europe, inequality, and politics associated with industrialization.
4. I feel like the search process itself was easier, however the fact that it was incredibly easy to search, and make a search as if you were using google makes it harder to find exactly what you're looking for without getting a huge amount of results.
5. I might use this to make a few broad searches on a topic I don't fully understand, but otherwise I don't know if I would want to use it over other database search engines.

Week 9 Assignment
Part 1.
1. Allardt, E. 1993. “Having, Loving, Being: An Alternative to the Swedish Model of Welfare Research.” In Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen, eds., The Quality of Life, 88-94. Clarendon Press, Oxford.
This is a book chapter. To find it I would use Search it using the title "Having, Loving, Being: An Alternative to the Swedish Model of Welfare Research". WSUV does have access to a copy, so I will be able to request it through Holland and Terrel libraries.
2. Beck, Ulrich. 1992. Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity. Sage, London.
This is a full book. To find it I would use Search it using the title "Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity". WSUV does have access to a copy, so I will be able to request it through Holland and Terrel libraries, or Tri-cities library.
3. Dake, Karl. 1991. “Orienting Dispositions in the Perception of Risk: An Analysis of Contemporary World Views and Cultural Biases.” Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 22 (1): 60-81.
This is a journal article. To find it I would use Search it to see if WSUV has a subscription using the title "Orienting Dispositions in the Perception of Risk: An Analysis of Contemporary World Views and Cultural Biases". To get this journal I would have to request an online version through Holland and Terrel libraries.
4. Fischhoff, B. 1990. “Psychology and Public Policy: Tool or Toolmaker?” American Psychologist 45: 647-653.
This is a journal article. To find it I would use Search it to see if WSUV has access to it using the title "Psychology and Public Policy: Tool or Toolmaker?". To view this article, I would be able to find the fulltext available through ProQuest.
Part 2.
Alter, George. 1992. Theories of fertility decline: A nonspecialist’s guide to the current debate, in J. R. Gillis, L. A. Tilly and D. Levine (eds), The European Experience of Declining Fertility, 1850–1970. The Quiet Revolution. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell, pp. 13–27.
This is a book chapter. Searching through WSUV has led me to find an E-book with ISBN, however there is no full text available, nor is there a link to request it. Searching with the ISBN, I found it on WorldCat and was able to find an area to request it through inter library loan.
Anderson, Michael. 1998. Highly restricted fertility: Very small families in the British fertility decline, Population Studies 52(2): 177–199. doi: 10.1080/0032472031000150366
This is an online journal article. To find it I used the doi to search through Search it, there are several full-text options available, meaning WSUV has a subscription.
Part 3.
Overall, figuring out what a citation is isn't too difficult if you just know where to look. Being able to recognize title IN book was really helpful to understand that the source came from a book, or chapter. Searching using the ISBN, or doi was also rather fun because even if the title was wrong or missing using the ISBN to find it is really helpful. I also learned that you can search for articles using the doi in WSUV's search it engine. Overall, requesting any of these articles/books is relatively straight forward, the only hiccup I have is not knowing quite how to request through inter-library loan.

Week 8 Assignment
Article 1: Socio-economic status and fertility decline: Insights from historical transitions in Europe and North America.
a. Historical Abstracts - History
b. Dribe, M., Breschi, M., Gagnon, A., Gauvreau, D., Hanson, H. A., Maloney, T. N., … Vézina, H. (2017). Socio-economic status and fertility decline: Insights from historical transitions in Europe and North America. Population Studies, 71(1), 3–21. https://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:4120/10.1080/00324728.2016.1253857
c. This will be helpful for giving an overview of both socio-economic status and industrialization in Europe. Although industrialization may not be a major focus in this article, the general background information is extremely useful.
Article 2: SOCIAL EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT-CONSEQUENCES OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF ENTERPRISE
a. Sociological Abstracts - Sociology
b. de, M. F. (1960). SOCIAL EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT-CONSEQUENCES OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF ENTERPRISE. Sociologia, 22(3), 231-240. Retrieved from https://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:3080/docview/60595352?accountid=14902
c. This article is helpful in analysis of economics and the way industrialization affected demographics. This is an exremely useful article because what I need directly relates the industrialization, economics, and social effects.
Article 3: Environment, Urbanization, and Public Health: The Bubonic Plague Epidemic of 1912 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
a. America: History and Life - History
b. Zulawski, A. (2018). Environment, Urbanization, and Public Health: The Bubonic Plague Epidemic of 1912 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Latin American Research Review, 53(3), 500–516. https://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:4120/10.25222/larr.424
c. This article will be useful as it talks about the industrialization in Europe. It contrasts this with the Bubonic Plague outbreak in Puerto Rico, and lack of infrastructure due to rapid urbanization.
Reflection:
Overall, after getting the hang of it, searching in subject-specific databases wasn't too hard. The hardest part about it was getting a subject-specific database that fit what I was looking for through the WSUV library website. After going through and finding a few databases that worked, searching for articles was rather easy. The different perspectives on each was interesting, especially getting different results even though I didn't really change my search each time. This could be helpful in the future if a multidisciplinary database doesn't work, looking through a variety of subject-specific databases could be just what is needed to get a different perspective on the issue.
