Information Seeking Behavior
Prior to this class I generally just looked in books and searched for articles online for information, but not I also use the materials that the online library provides.
I used to stick mainly to a handful of news sites, though with varying opinions. Now I'm trying to extend my knowledge search to other news outlets. I still don't deal much with scholarly journals, yet. This course as a whole has helped me search for information and evaluate it better.
I still have certain biases against certain websites, but for good reasons. They don't have much reliability and the sources they use are kinda sketchy. I also can explain to others better now with proper terms for what they need when researching.
