Information Discovery Tools...

This week was quite busy indeed. In fact it was rather hectic getting everything accomplished. Yet here I sit typing in my last assignment with a few hours to spare. The connector quiz was unbearable. It was simply horrific. I can follow instructions as well as any; though, I just received my first dose of information that I never would have pursued otherwise. I have to say as painstaking as it was that I actually did learn something and I yet have time to take another attempt at perfecting my grade. If I convince myself that I can improve my score, I may just overcome my satisfaction with an acceptable grade. I am a glutton and will probably retake it as I see what a wasted chance it would be and hate to let such flap in the wind of mediocracy.

I have to say that I am confident in my search skills. I know that I am no equal with one who possesses an MLS; however, I know that the lta program as prepared me adequately for searching. I may not know all of the reference tools out there; though, have a general idea and am able to discover options upon need. I also understand formats and their various purposes, boolean operators, advanced search methods and have discovered how some search engines are more beneficial in some areas than others. I think that everyone should find this to be true of their abilities as they finish up their coursework.

I did make a video out of my tech tool user guide. This is my first attempt at such and am rather happy with it. I was then going to create a license in Creative Commons and realized that I have not even began to understand the process of doing such. So I am uploading it straight as it for scholastic purposes only. I pray that it is acceptable and meets the quality that is demanded of such.
