Researching at the Library

Monday's class was extremely helpful in learning about how to start researching. Getting starting on research for research papers can be intimidating, but learning about the numerous resources that are available for our use made it not seem like such a daunting task. It was very cool to learn that the library has a whole page dedicated to Writing 150. I never would have known that before. Also, it was very beneficial to learn that there are several databases that you can find through the library's home page. In the past, I had just used one database and sometimes it can be hard to find adequate information when you are just using one database to find sources. I have already found some great scholarly and peer reviewed journals and articles while searching for the short amount of time that we had in class on Monday. I am anxious to start looking for more sources. The only concern that I have is that I won't be able to find books that relate very well to my topic. Hopefully I will be able to find some beneficial information that isn't just found online. Also, I would just like to mention that I felt super high-tech while using an i-pad and sitting in those nifty little desks :)
