My experience while researching

Today was the first day I started my research for paper 4.  While I was searching on the UVSC library website, I found that It wasn’t all that easy.  I guess I got lucky the first time we had to find a scholarly article and write about it.  This time when I typed my keywords several times it came back saying something about no items found.  This was very discouraging for a while.

I found a few articles, but they were only 1-2 page articles.  I want to find articles that are longer so I can get more information.  I don’t only want to get these articles for this assignment, I want to have them so I can expand my knowledge in the career I have choose.  I am hoping that when I go to the library at school that they may be able to help me with some of the question and concerns that I have. 

While I was searching for the articles I was trying to remember the things that we were taught in the library instruction room.  I think by using some of the things I learned It made some things a lot easier.  It took me quite a while to get the first article, and this time it pulled up several times. 

I think each time I look for the articles it gets easier for me to find what I am looking for quicker.  I really like how it helps you with other keywords that can help you while searching.  This really helps me so I don’t just focus only on one topic.  I want to get as much information as I can so then I can find some of the similarities and then narrow down my options for my question.  It wasn’t so bad today I think it will be better tomorrow.
