Academic Enrichment: Using & Evaluating the Web for Research

On November 4th, 2009, I have attended an Academic Enrichment called, “Using & Evaluating the web for research.” This workshop was taking place in the library from 12:45 PM 1:15PM. During this workshop, we learned how to locate and use proper scholarly research sites and material. We also were informed about google Scholars, Internet Public Library, our own library research database, as well as directories. us. Also to check the validity of a website, samspade.org is the right website to get information about certain website. Also we were taught how to site and use proper and reliable websites, like domains ending with .gov, or .org. This workshop was very helpful because I thought that students need to be informed and taught about how to research by using proper and reliable websites when using the internet or worldwide web. Overall, this workshop was very informative and I would recommend to another student.
