I used the following database limiters: “scholarly journals” and
“references available”. When I selected the “references
available” database limiter it produced zero results.

I
wish I had leanned how to write a well thought out research question
years ago. With previous research papers I had always struggled with
that. If I continue my education beyond my 4 year degree, I will be
able to write a research question that's “just right” for future
assignments and projects. This week I also learned how to more
effectively use the database limiters. I never knew that selecting
“full text” greatly limits the number of search results. I do
have an Illiad account.
Valerie,
ReplyDeleteGood work! I hope that you can also apply some of what you are learning to searching the web once you are out of school... though, come back for a graduate degree, by all means!
I agree with the primary concepts you have underlined in your question. I hope you try alternate terms. Also, If I were doing this research project I would want to know Jefferey Dahmer's mental health diagnosis and use that term to search for information. You could always compare that information to his biographical information.
Keep up the good work!
Sue
