Summary:
The main takeaway from the last couple of weeks is that there is so much information out there, and when you have a specific topic, not all of that information applies. Boolean strategies help you sift through all of the big rocks and find the fine small things that really relate to your topic. However, there is still work to be done, you can't rely on the idea that your Boolean techniques will give you exactly what you want, but it is just more efficient and more productive.
Hi, Brian:
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful summary of the assignment. You identified several relevant, credible articles that are on your topic as well as discussed the challenges of online searching and limiting your results. I hope you put these skills to good use, boolean and search statements are a bit awkward at first but become easier as you practice.
Cheers,
Andrea
