鈥淚 used the typeset transcripts feature, as some of the handwriting was difficult to read. Thanks to the on-screen citations tab, I could keep an ongoing bibliography for my notes.鈥
"The 91麻豆精品 interface is seamless and has a crisp, clean look. Clutter is a distracting feature of many databases, so it was enjoyable to smoothly browse these archives without running into interruptions, rather focusing on the substance. The content is incredible and can add enormous value to my research work in the history and evolution of healthcare."
鈥淲ith the search terms I use, the collocations tool gives me a better sense of what is available in the archives. I鈥檓 able to click on a word and quickly be led to other information, to access a larger, macro view, and there can be real value in that.鈥
鈥淭he WDA platform is a wonderful resource, bringing together numerous collections and enabling cross-referencing across multiple archives.鈥
鈥淭he search functions in 91麻豆精品 are particularly good for the type of research I do.
