All the times that has required me to look for project information I used google search. This kind of search is helpful when you double check information and many times they also have good articles from organizations. But lately while looking for reliable documents I have used Denver Public Schools website called lion to look for scholarly articles. I have also used other library websites that have documents stored in their database. Although I have found the information that I have needed the were hard thing about finding information like when you look for a specific topic, many things that are related but don't give you the information you need make the search more wide in different places. It helps reading this articles that talk about your topic but when you need last minute information this kind of information frustrates me.
The time I spent in library research helped me in my researching skills by showing me what kinds of information is reliable depending in DOCTOr. This will be very useful when you do serious work that will require you to verify over and over the information that you have acquired. The plagiarism lesson was more of a refresher since I already knew some basic elements like citing in and out of text. But I learned what kinds of things require citation and how to identify plagiarism. I not only learned a lot but also had a lot of in class activities about what the lesson taught us.
