Week 7 Blog

I started my project late on Sunday night and I was worried about M. Van Londen not being able to get back to me in time to tell me that my topic was approved. This worried me because for the last topic I did a lot of work to write about a person that had already been claimed by someone else.

I reserved the topic windshield wipers but at first when I googled it I realized all the pages were just about where to buy windshield wipers. I now know I have to be more specific so I changed my search to “windshield wipers about” and found many more sources that fit.

To create a bibliography I use the computer application Zotero. It creates a button on my browser that I can just click to save a link. Once saved I can create in text citations from the link, a bibliography citation, or compile all my links into a bibliography and generate them all at the same time.

So far I haven’t had a need to contact a librarian but I know that if it’s urgent I can go in to the library for help. If it isn’t I can text the librarian a short question to be answered.
