Before this course I knew what google scholar was and what it was used for. I however did not know how to use it effectively. Limiting keywords, shortening phrases and even searching for topics related to the direct subject matter were a couple tools of trade I am able to take away with this course. Even though my research project is turning out to be a little more difficult than I originally planned it is a good challenging experience for me to now have to use these library catalog databases and expland my research methods. This is definitely something I will be using to write any extensive research papers I may have in the future in my other classes and I feel as though this experience was helpful.
