Welcome to my learning log!

Thanks for visiting. This is my blog of learning for the NET 11 Unit through Curtin University. It will be an ongoing project ... possibly not particularly exciting viewing for some!

Mod 4 (ASS 3 ALERT) - Task - Organising search info



Find best 3 sources and give details:

  • URL.
  • author,
  • institution,
  • blurb/ summary / screen shot (this can be a direct copy of an appropriate abstract or introductory paragraph on the site: but make sure you record and reference it as such)
1 http://www.lib.utexas.edu/books/etext.html
This has no author - this is a library source, which seems to be to be of invaluable use to an internet information seeker.
It is hosted by the University of Texas and seems a great resource for the 'how to' - including how to use indexes, directories, how to find articles, journals etc etc

REMINDER FOR ASS 3 - I chose this because it has all the how to find stuff I may need for ass 3 ....
