1. - Boolean operators
- Databases
- Searches
- Databases that the library is subscribed to
2. The amount of databases that I have to choose from is the most important point. For whatever research the task calls for, I can choose whichever database best suits my needs.
3. I can use Boolean operators whenever I do an internet search. I can use the library resources whenever I research.
4. Obtaining resources has now become a few clicks on a keyboard, rather than lengthy wild goose chases, searching for relevant materials. The time constraints of the research phase have been drastically reduced, allowing for writing to be done much more quickly. As the writing process becomes faster and faster, I am sure that there'll be connection with the growth of information.

I like your optimism about the possible reduction in time for searches. I just hope you turn out to be right!
I've found that while you can search more quickly, getting relevant results is often more difficult as there is more demand for well constructed search terms and more sources of information to search.
