This was a busy week for my online course. I must say that I learned alot. My class had a field trip to the library. We had to go to our own acedemic library and learn about what resources are available. I read alot, so I thought myself to be very familar with libraries, but I was wrong. I learned how to find subject encyclopedias and how to research a topic. I had never looked at any encyclopedias at the library before yesterday.
Another first for me was using ProQuest and Library catalogs online. In ProQuest I was able to read articles on anything I put into the search engine. I'm doing research on AIDS so I typed it in and many articles were available for me to read. The library catalog searched for books on my topic. Information on the book was available including what section of the library I could find that particular book.
This week was great. I had no idea that there were so many resources available out there. I am very glad I took this class because I think it will help me in future classes.
