Journal 6

We just turned in our Annotated Bibliography rough drafts.. I didn't find it too challenging. However, it was a little bit difficult to find a variation of information. I felt like all the websites had the same information. My topic is early indication of autism in children, and there's only a few symptoms and signs to look for. I am hoping my group members left me some good advice on what I can improve on.
Chapter nine talks about searching for information with electronic resources. I learned that you can search not only by author and subject, but also by title, keyword, publication date, and call number. Chapter ten is about searching for information with print resources. I learned about searching for books and Interlibrary Loan, which is when if you can't find the book you need from your library, you can use interlibrary loan to borrow the book from another library.

  1. As you narrow your topic and use better search terms, you should come up with better sources. "Diagnosis" and "Early Indication" and "Symptoms" are some key words that in combination with "Autism" might help.
