Reflection 3
In times past, "research" to me was going on a search engine and performing a simple search, followed by my reviewing of the results. Now that I have become familiar with the resources available to students and the general public, I have to say that my research methods were primitive at best. By far, the most interesting and helpful resource I have come across is the Statistical Abstract of the United States. It blew my mind to see just how much statistics are kept in this country. Finding out about LBCC Library's online databases has facilitated the research process for me. I feel that in the future, this database will be my starting point when having to research a topic. I guess now I know that true research goes beyond Google!!

That is true Fred, research goes beyond Google. Google and Yahoo are the only search engine I use. I didn't know that there are a lot of it. If it is not for this course, I would never learn ProQuest and other reference sources exists.
Well said, Freddy. We've come a long way since Library 1, huh? BTW, love your blog backdrop!
Hi Fred. Your blog is set-up the same way as mine.
Anyway, reason for me posting is re. reflection 3. Yes, we all seem to becoming porfessional researches in some form or another.
There is a lot of information out there sort out.
