Another thing I learned was from the assignment instructions. I knew about Summit but I didn't I know that they can send books to Clark for a student. This will be very helpful in future classes.
This assignment surely opened my eyes to several other resources and I think that they will all be very helpful to me at some point. As far as this class goes I will probably use a combination of Summit and Google Scholar (if allowed).
I was surprised that Google Scholar wasn't included in this assignement. I learned about this database previously and found it very helpful when writing my research paper for English 102.
Hi, Jaquelin:
ReplyDeleteI like Google Scholar a lot but for this assignment I wanted you to compare book resources and if there was a difference when searching a book record(cannell, summit)versus the entire text of the book(IT Pro, Google Books). It appears that your search was successful in each and based on your preference SUMMIT will be useful in the future. The other thing to consider is that Google Books includes all kinds of books not just scholarly, so you have to be a bit more critical of the results. Thank you for your report.
Cheers,
Andrea
