Literature Review Research Experience

As of right now, it is about 9:00 in the evening here if in the metropolis of Atlanta in Georgia. The temperature this November evening is 46 degrees. For the month of November, it is not out of ordinary to have temperatures to fluctuate between 32 to 70 degrees. Therefore, I can say that the weather here can be unpredictable. This year it has been a cool and soggy month down here, but the last few days proved to be drier. Meterologists predict the “forecast” for Thanksgiving to be sunny and Dry. My fingers are crossed. Being the southern I am I can say that I take the gravy; especially, the homemade giblet gravy my grandmother use to make. Unfortunately, she passed away about 5 years ago and I cannot make it the way she could. Nevertheless, with or without gravy, everyone have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.
Now, as I focus on research, I do recall using computerized card files that lead me to journals, articles, abstracts, and books for my undergraduate senior research project. These resources were located in the West Georgia College and Georgia Tech’s libraries during 1994. Since then, I experienced a limited amount of research for article reviews during my teacher’s certification course. I found the majority of the various types of article in GALILEO Scholar, a world wide web –based library. GALILEO stands for GeorgiA LIbraries LEarning Online. To access it, the try the following link http://www.galileo.usg.edu/welcome/.
For the literature review, I look forward to exploring the additional resources presented in this week’s resources such as ERIC, ERIC’s Thesaurus, and Google Scholar. Today, I briefly explored ERIC’s Thesaurus for additional key word for my research problem. Once I get the chance to spend a significant amount of time with these resources am sure I will find many more options that leads to more questions or specific information pertaining to some of my questions.
