I was not present in class, so I am not certain of what was talked about exactly. However, I have read Badke’s Chapter 5 on research strategies and have been in attendance to one of the library’s presentation on research. Some people are scared to use library databases because they seem too complicated. But believe me…when you have multiple research papers to write and your professors want peer reviews, and they want recent studies and they want all these other knick knacks, library databases can be your friend. One that I frequently use is EBSCO. I believe it’s very friendly and has different methods of searching. You can search keywords as you would in Google, or you can use Boolean search, which is what we recently talked about. You can filter out results, as well as add keywords to narrow down your topic. Another thing you can do is select the option to only show peer reviewed articles/journals. In fact, let’s say you are looking for an e-book, you can filter only those results. Once you play around with it, and work your way around it, it’s not difficult at all. Believe me, it’s my third year using it… and it has made these research projects a tad bit easier.
