Blog Reflection 2

The last two weeks have been really interesting and informative. I learned so much about evaluating and citing information and how to tell if an article is relevant to a topic. The assignment we did on evaluating periodicals was a real eye-opener. I never realized how different journals and magazines are, yet they are similar. One of the things that I found to be extremely valuable was what to look for when trying to find legitimate information on the internet. It is so easy to search for something and get conflicting information. I have used search engines, but never used subject directories before. All in all, I think the most appreciated piece of information I learned during the past two weeks was when we were learning about services offered on LBCC online library. I have already used the 24-hour librarian!

Wow, glad to see you've used the 24 hr library service. It's pretty cool what resources are available to you right from your home/work computer!
