On Wenesday, I attended a workshop that taught us how to use the web for research. Although I knew most of the material that was shown to us, a few concepts were new to me.
The worshop was held in the Library. The instructor had a projector hooked up to her desktop and was showing us different ways we can use the web to research. She told us that using Online Web Directories were very helpful. I did not know about Web Directories until the workshop.
We also learned how to use Google Scholars to look for articles for our research. I was impressed by how easy Google Scholars actually was. The instructor told us that some of the articles on Google Scholars was not free, but if the Baruch database has it, a link shows up directing us to it.
One of the most important things that I learned from the workshop was to check who own the source. I learned that it is always better to use websites own by government agencies and alike for research as they are more accurate.
