I’ve really liked using Google Scholar to search for articles. I never knew about it before and I’ve have been finding some good journal articles that are relevant to my subject. At first I was getting a lot of information that wasn’t so good and some that was okay. But using more narrow search terms and boolean searching led me to find some better information as opposed to using broad keywords. Like Badke mentions in Chapter 5 you have to narrow down your topic when searching so you get more of the information you want and not be drowned in information that is of no value to your research. I haven’t tried searching the catalogs yet but after reading Badke’s explanation and suggestions I feel more confident to use them in the future.
