MWolfe's Blogs for school

I've learned many things about the USF library on library training day. I've learned to locate books, use refworks, search the library, and search various databases. I liked how the instructor decided to use Poland as the keyword for every search he made, which directly helped me with finding information for my project one memoir draft. I also enjoyed using the clickers to answer questions on the overhead display even though as a joke when I decided to input and incorrect answer. I was astonished by the shear amount of information that can be found in the databases through the USF library research section online. An example would be that one of the databases has periodicals from London that range from the 1700's to the current day; all available to view online and export to refworks! I learned that using Wikipedia as a source of information is not the best way to go about writing papers. One should rather search the endless amount of information in our organized library and paid databases that are only available to USF students. If you still choose to use Wikipedia, you should scroll down to the citations, read the cited content, and use that information rather than the already cited work on Wikipedia. All in all, the library meeting day for ENC 1101 was a very informational event and without it I would never have this new, altered, perception of the USF library's importance.
