My experience while researching

October 26, 2006 pinky1

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.
