While In class I experimented with Google Scholar for the first time using a few different approaches. I started with an and/or search but was not obtaining any useful results. I then tried natural language but was obtaining to many unrelated hits. My most successful searches were natural language phrases in quotations marks. I found a variety abstracts and books which I did not have full access to online. While I kept these as possible physical searches for the future I wanted an instant article that I could download and read immediately. I searched with the same parameters in basic Google and discovered several magazine articles and 1st person blogs about my topic. Although these are not scholarly sources they make a great starting point for my paper.
