My research question has a little twist since I started using databases. The
reason is not farfetched. Most databases did not recognize my search keyword or
topic probably because I did not choose the right keyword or because I did not
put asterisks in front the some keyword. For example, how does state of MN
support gay men?
Looking at the research question for example, I input Minnesota AND
"gay men" which gave me multiple results. At first, it seems more
challenging to compose my research question using databases. But after some
class activities related to research questions, I feel more comfortable
composing research question on my topic.
Hi Taiwo,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post. That is one thing about database searching...one cannot use natural language to search in databases. To search in a database, one needs to form search strings, which you did with Minnesota AND "gay men".
I am happy to see that you are finding good resources on your topic!
BTW--check out the updated syllabus (I revised it last week and sent it out to everyone, plus added it to D2L) for Assignment 10. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
Thank you for your post. I have no question at this time.
