Journal 5

Chapter 8 in The Bedford Researcher talks about planning for research. To identify relevant sources you should consider the scope and timeliness of your issue, consider the nature of the conversation you plan to join, and consider what you'll need to learn about an issue. I also learned the best search tools and methods are electronic search tools, print resources, and even observations, interviews, and surveys. I also need to figure out what sources are most relevant to my issue. Since I have autism as my topic, I think print sources would work for finding some good books on childhood autism along with website about early childhood indication of autism. When our class went to the library I learned about finding articles and journals along with other information about my topic online.
