Scavenging for the research blog
When doing my research for the library scavenger I found that this assignment was way simpler than expected. My discoveries were that the library did have many books on sports, and important books on sports.My research included that there are many resources this school has for a wide variety of topics.
I found that Vince Lombardi made books on football, Vince Lombardi has the Super Bowl Trophy named after him. The five time NFL campion was an elite coach well before his time. I can do a whole post on Vince and how he impacted the game, but for now I am explaining my research.
I discovered the spread offense and why it became a thing. The spread offense is becoming more and more common in football. Spread offense spreads out the players and allows you to run or pass the ball in given situations the defense shows you. In high school most schools who have an established program with good coaching will run the spread offense.
I met a really cool referenced librarian while doing this project and she was really nice and informative. She showed me where everything was on the site and helped me find almost everything on the scavenger hunt. Although I had almost everything done before she still reassured me not knowing that I did it all. That shows how helpful she was. I believe her name is Kristi but it is hard to read her handwriting on my paper.
The library organized my topic in a smart way because they had all of the sports books in one area separated by sport. The football books were all in one section, followed by volleyball, and followed by a bunch of others. I feel that the library's resources have no limitations toward my topic, and actually are allowing me to prevail in this class due to the abundance of resources it has.
