BLOG REFLECTION #8 TOPIC

This is my 3rd online Library class, I have participated in plenty of library instructions in my other classes. Most of my library instructions had to do with looking up books and writing down the citations. I have learned a lot from this class, like how to help patrons in the library, looking up research, and plenty more.
Ever since I took this class research now seems to be easier to look up online and in books/encyclopedia. I have bookmarked tons of subscribed library websites, online encyclopedias, and research websites.

BLOG REFLECTION #7 TOPIC

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that the Lakers are doing GREAT! They are 7-0 right now, I think we have a good chance of making it to the Finals again if almost everyone stays healthy thoughout the season (especially Kobe and Andrew)!

Okay, if I was instructing a patron who wanted to use electronic/internet resources for researching their topic I would tell them that ProQuest is the best choice. You can look up tons of books, articles, and much more. You get plenty of results that you can choose from.

If I had to give the patron a list of electronic/internet resources, this would be my list to give him or her.
1. ProQuest – you can look up books, articles and more
2. Encyclopedia.com – you can looks up facts from encyclopedias, books, and articles.
3. Encyclopedia Brittanica.com – you can looks up facts from encyclopedias, books, and articles.
4. Subscription research databases -
5. LII.org
6. Government Sponsored websites
7. Wikipedia
8. Favorite search engine
