These sources have information about people using the web to self diagnose, which is what i plan to write about. These sources are all from reputable papers and articles, and I think they are good sources. They are fascinating to read, and I learned a lot about my topic by reading them, so I think I will be able to enhance my paper by citing them.
From Baruch databases:
Health Internet sites: a linguistic perspective on health advice columns.
Social Semiotics; Feb2010, Vol. 20 Issue 1, p43-59, 17p, 1 Diagram
I think I can use this source to write about how people who should be seeking professional advice and medical help use the web instead. This is really the devil’s advocate, so I think it will provide good motive for my paper.
