With the completion of this class, LIBY 1210, I believe that I have genuinely learned a lot. First off, the one subject that I especially was happy with was that of citations. Until that time I had no idea of how to do one. I think that that section by far had the most impact on me. A lot of the internet research I already knew about however. I have been around computers my whole life and pretty much know all the ins and outs, however, it was nice to see the different ways you can search put out for me, because I would never have thought about them in the way that I did through this class. I would merely just had done the methods without thinking about it. One thing that I kept thinking thought the internet search sections is that if in google you can use | instead of or.
I believe that through this class that my ability to formulate search topics or key words has really improved. I now know that if I cannot find any information upon which the topic I am searching that I should wided my search, and I know how to do that now.
Overall, I learned a lot from this class. I believe that the class was well worth the effort that I put into it. The class not only taught me vital information for my collegiate career, but also touched upon information that I already knew, sort of like a refresher. I will definitely remember everything that I learned in the class, and put it to use on for the majority of my school career from this time on out.

First, you did a great job on your experiential exercise. I'm glad it worked well for you. I think the reason it might have meant more to you is that it pulls all the pieces together. The exercises through the quarter deal with each part of it, but this is designed to take you through the process from beginning to end. Of course, once you've done preliminary research and formulated questions, then you really have a starting point for your paper, but this is really an overview exercise.
ReplyDeleteAs for coming to me with questions, by all means. I'm happy to help. You can also go to any reference librarian--at the desk, through QuestionPoint chat, email, etc. We're always here to help. I think you'll be in great shape for your college career, though. You have a good grasp of the concepts.
