This was a very informative assignment. I was totally unaware of the fact that Wikipedia could be edited by any individual. Truthfully it's usually the first website I go to when I'm researching a topic. I had no idea that it could be so easily changed. I did find the Gale Virtual Reference Library site rather impressive. The information that it has to offer truly does benefit any research assignment and its nice to know that it's an option for Clark students to use. Is it possible for an individual to join a site of that nature or would the cost be too expensive? I also find the Library tutorials very resourceful information and its nice to know exactly where to go to find them.
Each assignment seems to be giving my a little more comfortable feeling in my abilities as I am taming this technology beast ---the computer.

ReplyDeleteMany public libraries have similar online resources. GVRL is specifically for an academic audience and is a great way to learn a bit more about a topic and find what aspect is most interesting. As you saw in searching, GVRL represents Privacy from a legal, social, historical perspective, lots of options to chose from.
Thank you for your efforts. I'm glad you are finding the class useful already.
