Reflection 3

Aside from some frustration I am glad I enrolled in this class. I have been repeating myself but when I begin to type about my feelings towards this research process a big relief immediately jumps to mind. In the past I never really did any intense research, unless it was for a class project and I was part of a group so typically my research part was somewhat slim. I can say it is now easier because I know what to look for to distinguish factual information, I have learned where to get my sources from, and now that I look back the only areas I ever focused my attention on for research were google and yahoo. During these past few weeks there are so many different reference sources that I've used that I never knew could come in so handy. I definitely know that moving forward the sites I have learned including how to do advance searches, or look up call numbers will help me be more successful. The Library of Congress was really helpful as well so I know I will be referring to the online catalog more often. One thing I will keep in mind is the fact that there is so many different search engines to research a topic so if the results are not exactly what I am looking for, I will search differently and maybe even try different sources.
