LIS4011 Assignment 1

Information Seeking Behavior

Document your "every move" in the following searches. Only one thing: your resources are limited to Penrose licensed resources. You may not use Google, Google Scholar, or any other free search engine. This means documenting databases accessed, searches performed (whether successful or not), number of results retrieved, and relevance of results.

1. Need scholarly articles on President Kennedy's handling of the Bay of Pigs incident.

2. Need a resource that lists animals in danger of becoming extinct.

3. Find a newspaper front page from the day you were born.

4. Find one subject among the many databases to which Penrose Library subscribes. Spend 2 hours searching the databases within that subject. Keep a search log of your searching and turn it in.
