Week 2 assignment overview

This week we did research on topics to try and figure out what we want to do our final project on. The Global Topics (the first assignment) was really helpful in narrowing down what I wanted to consider and getting an idea of which idea was best. I think I am going to go with obesity because it is something that is becoming an issue more and more, plus it has already been a big health problem in my family so it is an interest to me. When doing the research on what our own school's library had to offer distance learners I was impressed that all their information was right there. I didn't have to hunt too hard to find it which is really nice because a lot of sites have so much information you can never even find what you are looking for. We also created our blogs this week which was a lot easier than I had thought it would be.

Stacey: I agree with you that having to hunt for information on a web site can be a very frustrating experience. As I mentioned elsewhere, it's an ongoing issue for libraries to organize their web sites in ways that information is understandable and accessible to our students. There's no reason to have the information on a site if no one can find it!
