Spring break, many think of sun, fun and relaxation. Instead its books, research and frustration. I have to say this has definitely been a difficult time though rewarding. I am still tweaking the search engines to give me exactly what I want but it is like using different filters to pan for gold in a stream of dirty water. The Library database is a great tool for digging for journals and articles of note and it has helped greatly. Now to make sure the draft is in line with what I want it to be.

After reading your blog The Search and picking up the pieces, i realize that i agree with what you are saying. When spring break comes we all think about relaxing, watching TV and movies, going out and having fun. But we realize that sooner or later we have to get our work done for school or anything else that we may do. Just like you i am also learning how to use the search engine to give me good books, magazines, and more to help me with my research project. It is going very well and i am finding great results, but like you said the library database is a great tool and we all should learn how to use it very wisely and very often in the long run if anyone ever has classes that involves writing papers.
