Finding
Articles
This weeks research led me to some expand in to some
other areas of my topic from another perspective that I hadn’t considered
before. Many other new sources are
coming up that it seems now I will have plenty of information at my
fingertips. It been hard picking
specific resources to primarily draw against, however its better than not
finding anything I suppose.
Some of the new search strategies I used were
attempts at the new search engines that the Badke text cites for journal and
article research. However, this week I
was honing my skills at using the hierarchy methods more. I went back to the Leatherby Library to
search journals and was having a hard time searching for journal entries. In the end, I went back to the Discovery
Search Engine to explore using the hierarchy methods and was able to find what
I was looking for. It seems to work for
me, probably because its something we might tend to do when googling something
often in the past. Nevertheless, it
works much better when researching on the current search engines that we have
been learning about.
At this point in the research I feel I’ve learned a
lot about my topic already. If you
remember from my previous blog posts, this is a topic that I wanted to learn
about because it was personal to me: ‘Small Business Triumphs and Downfalls
Since the 2008 Recession’, and as I dive farther in to research, it will be
interesting to see what other learning angles will come up.
