The library visit on Thursday was very interesting. I've always been a big fan of Academic OneFile because my Comp I teacher pushed the site, but I could never really find what I wanted with EbscoHost. It's a little ridiculous, I know, considering I've had access to EbscoHost since I started research projects in 4th grade, but the search engine always seemed too complicated for me to sit and figure out. The librarian did a good job of explaining the site, and making it seem a little more accessible. I was a little frustrated at the fact that I couldn't find a way to put the books I wanted on my eReader. It's a little hard to read a computer while your in a van with no power outlets, but it's much easier to read my little eReader.
Before I made it to the Library today I was a little unfocused in my research. I had an idea for a broad topic, but was sort of floundering to narrow it down. But between the library meeting and my discussion with Ms. Lieske, I believe I've narrowed my search down to specifically social networking, and how it has, and will continue, to change our lives. I'm in an entirely different place now than when we went to the Library on Thursday, and I feel more focused.
