  • To tell you the truth, I don't think I've stepped foot in a library for at least five years. I went to the Auraria Campus Library and immediately saw the research table. I was helped by Lorrie. She directed me the computer and showed me how to find related books and articles. It was a very helpful visit to the library.

RJA #3a: Research Topic Exploration

Today I began researching my topic, Age Descrimination in Employment. I Began by using common search engines such as Google and Yahoo. I made sure to bookmark my most common web hits in my Delicious account. I didn't look too far into the information, but I looked more into the source to be sure it is credible. I tried to find some sort of stats regarding my topic on the Census Bureau website, but found none. I bookmarked it anyways so I can look into it further later.
