Ch.19 Post #31

Summary:
After reading chapter nineteen I am now able to find and evaluate information from resources more effectively. Conducting effective research you should start by writing research questions. You are likely to find most information from the library. You can use catalogs and online databases to help find information. Another popular form of finding resources is the World Wide Web. The internet is the top resource with the numerous amounts of search engines to look for information. Other forms of resources are books, academic journals, newspapers, and magazines. You could also use field research to help gather information. Human subjects are great resources but make sure to get consent before getting interviews or making observations. All of these ways are great and effective for find and evaluating information from resources.

Reaction:
My reaction to this reading was it gave me a better idea of the resources that were available and could help me write and effective paper with a tremendous amount of information.

3 Questions:
1. What are the best resources?
2. How do you decide which ones to use if they all are a great source of information?
3. What makes one resource better than the other?
