I used keywords: Internet AND Who Started AND Who Invented
in my Cannell Library research which resulted in “No Entries Found”. I added
more words: Internet AND Who Started Internet AND Who Invented the Internet (caps
for emphasis here, I did not type caps into my keyword search in Cannell
Library). Again, “No Entries Found”. Hmmm…. nothing was working, so I simply
entered “Internet’ and Bam! Over 40 pages of entries! I scrolled down until I
found a title that fit what I was looking for and chose, “A history of the
Internet and The Digital Future”. If I were to enter keywords again, I would
choose “Internet AND History”. Perhaps my keywords were too specific.
When I moved on to Summit, the single keyword “Internet”
gave me multiple entries so I thought I would narrow it down using “Internet History”
from my research at the Cannell Library and that helped even more. The first entry
was exactly what I was looking for.
“It-Pro” was a really exciting website to check out and one
I was not aware of offered through Clark College. It gave you several options
once you found the book of your choice such as breaking down the chapter contents,
a back cover image and full table of contents were available. This site also
prompted me with a citation link that was really user friendly and I could
choose from several different formats. It appeared as I hovered over the author’s
name. Here is the MLA format simply copy and pasted from the headings by this
book:
Aspray, William, and Paul E. Ceruzzi (eds). The Internet and
American Business. The MIT Press, © 2008. Books24x7. Web. Feb. 5, 2013. http://common.books24x7.com/toc.aspx?bookid=26537
How easy is that for English class! J
“Google Books” search engine gave the first two book titles
that I had found in the Cannell Library and Summit as the first options I could
choose from. I scrolled several pages before finding a title that was more specific
to what I wanted to learn.
Hi, Marilyn:
ReplyDeleteNice work. A few things to consider for rating credibility. If you do a google search for the author and/or publisher, you get a bit more of a sense of their expertise or focus. We'll be covering how to construct useful search statements. These are more important for catalogs like Cannell's system because there is limited information that is searchable. For full text databases like IT Pro and GoogleBooks, you can use more natural language searching since it included the entire text and not just title, author, publisher, table of contents. It may appear that Google Book is easier but it's a reflection of the scope of the search.
Thank you for your efforts,
Andrea
