Comparison:

ScienceDirect is better than PsycINFO(EBSCOhost) because it is easier to search through becuse it is less limited and relates to multiple topics rather than Psychology only.

PsycINFO is better for quicksearch because it gets all the information about a word.

ScienceDirect could be used for indepth research because it contains only journals and books.

I would use PsycINFO if I want to search for more diverse subjects other than biology concerning psychology.
