Database overall conclusion

Database overall conclusion-
I feel that my database is a valuable to those who have the task of purchasing materials for libraries, whether in the public sector or the academic setting. As a future librarian, I feel that this database will be helpful because the user is able to view the book cover as well as read a short review of the book, if it is available. I feel that my experience of searching on this database allowed me access to materials that I might never have found using a regular online card catalog. As a teacher, I feel that this database could be used by educators to find materials that could be purchased for their own library or to determine if the specific book is already part of the library. This database was fairly simple to navigate with practice and this could be shared with colleagues in the education setting or shared with students as a library skill.
