In my opinion, it is more effective to search in databases then using search engine, meta-search engine or subject directories because it give reliable and up-to-date information as it is maintain most of the time by government. However, databases are not free most of the time and a fee is needed to access to it. In short databases have all the advantage of search engines, meta-search engines and subject directories. The only bad thing about databases is that it is not free.
In my case, if the project need to be very detailed i will use databases for my research. It really save lots of my time because information in databases are very detailed and written by professional in that particular subject. But if the project that i have do not need to be very detailed i do not feel it is necessary to use databases as there is a need to pay.
The thing that i have learnt from my wiki experience is by seeing how a topic from something insignificant become something very detailed and well done. I feel a sense of achievement by doing this wiki stuffs.
