1. We continued our study of databases and we did some hands-on exercises/experiments with different databases on the CSUEB Library website.
2. Formulating search terms seems to be significant. Using the right terms could be the difference between finding a treasure trove of records related to the topic of a search, or finding nothing related to the topic at all.
3. By either broadening or narrowing a search, I can continue exploring any given topic. Also, by changing the search terms, I may also gather more records from a database. And of course, I can search on more than one database.

Yes.
You can also use synonyms or Boolean operators or check the "description" of a database to see if it's appropriate for your topic.
