Reaction paper #1 Library and research through the library
So a couple of Monday's ago on 10/16 our class had a trip to the college library. On this trip we were blessed to have a guide from the school teach us a thing or two or three about how to successfully research from the school library's data base and how to look up books both in the library itself and through the library's data base as well. I also learned how to use google's advance search, which i feel will definitely come in handy later on in the semester. Our guide taught us how to properly cite a website and/or book. This is important because we must show where we have gotten our information from otherwise it is considered a form of plagiarism. We were then escorted through the library where we were allowed to pick out a photography book or a few photography books to check out of the library. I usually just look up information that i'd like to learn online but i learned however that i enjoy holding and reading a physical book much better. There's nothing like real books, maybe it's the smell or just being able to read it without feeling like your eyes are bleeding after an hour like if feels when you're staring at a computer screen for an hour. In any case i'm really glad that we got to go because there is always room to learn new things especially in this constantly changing world of technology.
