Scholarly Journal:
- Uslaner, Eric M. "Trust Online, Trust Offline." Communications Of The ACM 47.4 (2004): 28-29. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 June 2012. This journal is valid and appropriate, it includes the author credibility and affiliates. The only downside is that it was published in 2004, but because the information is universal, it is not out dated and remains applicable.Magazine:Larkin, Erik. "Shopping Tips: Advice To Keep Your Wallet Safe And Full." PC World 23.12 (2005): 160. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 June 2012. I felt this article was good for my search topic, because it gives adequate information and advice on keeping information and money safe while shopping online.Newspaper:Palmer, Kimberly. "10 Ways to Stay Safe While Shopping Online." Us News 22 Nov. 2011, Personal Finance sec.: 1-2. Print.I chose this article, because I felt it was most appropriate for my research topic. It offers tips you can't take in order to shop safely online.This assignment wasn't too hard for me to do, since I am familiar with databases. The only problem I seemed to have was with Ebsco and my search terms. I first tried the original terms I used in my previous blog assignment. When I was searching for a Magazine article, I only seemed to come up with two articles, one having nothing to do with my topic. I then changed my terms to Online and shopping and safe, which I still found minimal results. Finally I changed my terms to electronic and shopping and safe. These terms gave me just the amount of results I was hoping for.
Hi, Amanda:
ReplyDeleteThank you for completing this assignment. I will give you partial credit.
Even with a search statement, you have to be flexible in your searching. You did a good job, realizing there were articles on your topic and trying other terms until you were successful. You have to work at research sometimes to be successful, this is a good lesson to learn.
Cheers,
Andrea
