Academic Search Premier vs JSTOR

The database that I chose to work with was JSTOR, a database that I have used in the past so I am also familiar with it.  I was actually surprised, because I remember JSTOR being a good source of informative articles on other projects I worked on.  The Academic Search Premier was the one that provided the most relevant sources on my topic.  Some rather interesting alternative viewpoints on prostitution as well.  For EBSCO I like that they make it easy to narrow down the results.  It is clearly noticeable and pretty self explanatory.  I am able to narrow it down by publication date, full text, if they are scholarly reviewed articles, by document type.  It is very convenient.  '

JSTOR is also nice for allowing you to narrow your search by the modify search option, which allows you different options to help you find more pointed sources.  I really like that it allows you to narrow your search down by profession and what type of scholarly journals you want to choose from.  I used this option many a times to help refine my searches.  It also lets you choose by publication date, article type, and language.

I found that even though EBSCO was the more relevant articles, my search string worked for both.  It was a smaller one but it worked to my needs.  Prostitution and United States and Workforce.  The more options I put in my search string the less relevant topics I got.

I was able to find 8 relevant articles on EBSCO and 5 on JSTOR.  On EBSCO all of them were in full text as that was how I usually narrow down my search on the first go, if I can't skim through it right away I'm less likely to pursue it as a source.  The same with JSTOR.  I don't really think that working with the databases has changed my research question.  I think that the more sources I find the more my research topic will become clearer, maybe more refined.  My biggest challenge in composing my research question was if it was too versatile, or maybe, there could be any number of reasons.  The question, "whats the main motivation that drives women into prostitution?" can be rather ambiguous, though I still like it.  It also seems like it might be obvious, poverty, desperation, but I think there may be more to it than that.  To overcome these challenges would be to continue on the path of researching and refining as I go along.
