Introduction When conducting research the articles, journals, books, etc. that are used should be peer reviewed and reliable. CSU-Global library has provided several databases to help students easily navigate through hundreds of resources in order to find those that best match the criteria for their topics of research. EBSCO Host is a database that has been used by several students for undergraduate work all the way up to doctorate research. Later on in the paper will be an evaluation of how well students are able to navigate EBSCO Host, and narrow down their research results. Another database available to students is Google Scholar. The database unlike typical Google searches provides scholarly journal, and article that are known to be credible. …show more content…
EBSCO Host makes navigation and searching for articles easy through the CSU-Global Library homepage. The EBSCO tab was easy to locate from the library’s homepage, and a simple search bar popped up once the tab was clicked. Here I entered the main words for my topic of interest. For my research I entered “Low dose aspirin and pregnancy.” This search yielded several results that were related to my topic of interest. As long as a student knows how to use a search bar they can navigate, and search using EBSCO …show more content…
Narrowing the results allows you as the researcher to make sure the articles you are selecting are credible, and find articles that directly relate to your research. Fist, I will discuss how to find peer reviewed articles on EBSCO Host. This is always my first step after my initial search. Peer reviewed article are the only articles I will include in my research. Peer reviewed means the articles, are credible, and have been evaluated by a committee. On EBSCO Host narrowing the results to only peer reviewed articles is simple. There is a box with the phrase “Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals” on the left hand side of the search window. Check that box and you are done. It is simple and effective. While I am checking that box I always check the box that says full text as well. EBSCO makes it easy to get rid of the results that do not allow you to view the entire body of work. Other options given by EBSCO host on that are easy to find include narrowing down the date of publication, subject, source type, and selecting a field (title author, etc.). EBSCO host allows its users to narrow down their results until only relevant article are left. This allows you as the user to cut back on your time spent locating scholarly articles that will better your body of
An Oxford University graduate, Jonathan Swift, in his article, A Modest Proposal, proposes a solution to Irelands growing poverty in the 18th century by proposing the selling and eating of innocent babies.

I am thankful to ACRL's Recruitment & Nominations committee and honored and humbled to stand for election with Lauren Pressley as a candidate for ACRL vice-president/president-elect. ACRL has been my professional home since my initial years as an academic librarian. The landscape of higher education and academic libraries continues to ever evolve as much as technology transforms asynchronous and synchronous learning. Academic libraries and librarians must continue to remain relevant. Highlighting our scholarship, teaching, and service to students, faculty, and administrators at our respective institutions. ACRL initiatives such as the recent Diversity Alliance addresses a personal mission of mine. The lack of demographics from our communities
In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).
A Modest Proposal, written by Jonathan Swift, proposes both an outrageous idea and real solutions for helping Ireland manage their overpopulated country and eliminate poverty in 1729. Swift incorporates this idea to capture the attention of the people in Ireland and England, and prove to them they need to take action. He adopts a serious yet sarcastic tone in order to convince the citizens and readers their country needs change.
Along with using the World Wide Web for researching purposes, e-mail has become a very commonly used feature. Students and teachers can communicate outside of the classroom any time of day. In addition, this also opens up the idea of an online community center.
With the advancement of technology and the exponential increase of Internet use, professionals-academic and business-are relying on electronic resources for information, research, and data. The Internet gives an individual access to a sea of information, data, and knowledge; plus, this vast amount of information is available in a matter of seconds, rather than hours or days. The ease of access, availability, up-to-the-second timeliness, and vastness of online resources is causing many professionals, however, to forgo the use of print sources. Online resources are useful to conduct scholarly research and 'may be convenient, but they have shortcomings that make print sources necessary for submitting high-quality assignments' (Dilevko & Gottieb, 2002, ¶ 1).
A College also provides a useful online library that can be access to help students with their studies. This library offers three different databases which students can use to research class assignments. The three databases are EBSCOhost, Gale Power Search, and ProQuest. Here I can find articles, journals, and other sources of educationally based on the material in my search I conduct.
The objective of this essay is to compare Internet research with other sources of information which include books, word of mouth and primary research. This paper will also look at ways of ascertaining the validity of research information for academic work.
In the realm of education, I think that the Internet can be a great resource for information. Research can be easily planned and implemented for the benefit of both students and educators. Unfortunately, this brings us back to the issue of limited access. Some students are more readily...
