Chapter Eight

Chapter eight starts off with how you'll want to first prepare to search and gain more positive feed back when doing so.  Basic searches in tell just one or more words/phrases in the search field.  Simple enough, right?  I have already used this tool when searching for key points on my topic using my school library.  Once you begin to finalize your plans, you will then want to get feedback from multiple people.  It's smart to get feedback from your instructor because then he or she can be helpful and then discussion will be created, leaving you with even better feedback.  Ways to search through library catalogs is searching by keywords, authors, and titles.  Sources for databases are a bit different though.  You'll want to search news and information, bibliographies, citation indexes, and media databases.  The Web has become the largest "library" in the world.  With that being said though, it is also the most disorganized library since it has been built by millions upon millions of people who have failed to communicate with one another and come up with a plan.  To locate sources, researchers usually turn to Web search sites.  Web search sites allow you to collect information faster and more easily.  You can search for news on the most major Web sites such as Bing, Google, Ask and Yahoo.  On a reference search site you can search information that has been collected in encyclopedias, almanacs, dictionaries, and more.  These are ways I can search for information with digital resources to further help my paper.
