         The Hunt Library has a large library collection of aviation-related resources in the world. The graphical user interface is user friendly.  If you use the “Advance Search” option search from the main window, it will take you to a new window where you can expend your search; for example, by selecting the “Scholarly materials, including peer-reviewed” radio box, and the journal article box from the show content type.  Then, you can select a date that best fit for your article in mind.
         A resource is scholarly in nature when it’s written or edited by as scholar; a person who had graduated with a doctorate degree in the area they’re writing about, and that implies the person has proved they have mastered the field to be acknowledge as an expert (Scholarly vs. Popular Sources, n.d).  This doesn’t imply that the person’s point of view of the subject cannot be questioning, but it does mean they’re knowledgeable about the field enough to have an informed understanding of it.

         From what I’ve observed so far for the scholarly found in the library is that they’re easily accessible and much better organized compare to the typical information I find when I google a leadership concept.  All the journals have an abstract session, which makes it easy to know what the journal is about. Whereas the typical information found in Google are much more informal in quality and range.
