Search and Research
I started searching for resources for my second essay for NET12 unit yesterday. It was the first time I didn’t even touch Google for my search. Instead I used the following:
- National Library of Australia
- Wiley InterScience
- Technorealism
- Internet Public Library
- Communication, Cultural and Media Studies
- CorpWatch
- Project Muse
- ProQuest
A couple of the above websites, asked me to purchase my selected articles, which I can understand but I didn’t plan on paying this time. The last two, Project Muse and ProQuest asked me to login before I could use their services. I logged in with my Curtin student login details. I appreciated this ability to allow me to use these resources. I also loved the abundance of academic articles I was able to search. There are some advantages of being a part of an academic institute, even if I’m only their student.
