Google 101

During Google 101 I have learn a lot of stuff that I didn’t knew before about Google. One thing that I learn is that you can use Google to search thing just like Academic Search Premier. All you need to do is change the search string like “and” to “+” and you can also use other symbols like * and ~. The Google activities that we did in class made me understand how to use Google better and I will be using Google for my research project.

My opinion about blog is enjoyable source because you can see other people comment and see how they view about the article for example the George Clooney Talk about Arrest, Sudan Crisis on Fox News Sunday. I like reading people comment and see what they think about the article. Some people was saying good thing about George for being a hero and go there to protest and other was saying he is just looking for money.

Assignement 9 and 10 research reflection

The subject specidic database that i choose is Ethnic News Watch. The database that provided more relavant for my topic is Academic Search Premier. Academic Search Premier you can narrow down your result by using full text, scholarly journals and more others and Ethnic News Watch you can narrow your subject by using Scholarly Journals, Magazines, newspaper, refernce/report. My first search string worked for me. In Ethnic News Watch was there were 9 results and Academic Search Premier there were 17 results that come up. All of my relavant articles that i have found were in full text. Since i start working on my database my research question have not changed. The biggest challenge in composing my research question would be trying to ask the right question and i think i would be able to overcome that challenge if i keep lloking for the right answer.

Getting Ready to Use Academic Search Premier

Based on my review of the Academic Search Premier feature I woul say it is very helpful tool for student and everyone else that want use any research. I like the way the organize there staff for example narrowing your subjct by providing three different search box. I have used one time i think in my high school academic search premier but i was that familiar with it. I dont think i used database for other classes.I dont have any fears about using academic research to do research.
