Research Strategies: Preface Chap.1 and 8

With only reading the preface, chapter one and chapter eight, I find this book to be very interesting already.  Describing the history of the printing press was a good topic to discuss especially when writing a book about researching.  An invention such as that triggered a revolution in writing and researching.  You can think of so many good things that can come out of the printing press, but I’ve never even thought of the cons that go with it, like illiteracy.  The most interesting thing I read has to be about the gatekeepers.  With websites like Wikipedia, you can post whatever you want without any ones consent.  Chapter eight has very motivational and helpful advice to help us find the right source of information.  The evaluating sources section is something that is very important to me in this section.  Badke keeps my attention not only with interesting information, but with funny jokes as well.
