Weekly Update #4


This week I started by looking in the help menu for the Scirus database and going through all the information about search procedures in it. I also reviewed information from EIS 500 presentations about advanced searching in Western's Online Library databases. I started with a basic search in Eric and a general search in Scirus, using distance learning, lifelong transformative learning, and sustainable living practices as subject and keyword terms. I'm also writing down questions to add to the IDT 516 discussion area this week. So far I've found a total of 8 sources to include in the annotated bibliography and read 6 of them.
