Students at Holy Name, Convent, Point Fortin - Form 4 Class
As the students folowed the step by step process explained by the librarian, they complained that it was difficult to navigate and they mentioned that they preferred to do a google search.
However, some teachers mentioned it is a useful database. At this school, EBSCHOHOST is used more by teachers who are pursuing their degree, rather than by students.
