Chris Nolan Presentation

Chris Nolan's presentation on quality web searching, in my mind, was probably the most imporant presentation of the year. Searching for scholarly material for school projects and papers has become harder and harder through the use of mainstream search engines because of the mass of information that has flooded the internet. It is tough to decipher if information is valid or not and if the information is unbiased. Chris Nolan showed us a few sites I had never seen before including, GoogleScholar and Infomine. These websites are directories to scholarly works that will be quality text to cite in a paper. Google Scholar may not show an entire piece of work on the website, however if the scholarly work is in the Trinity Library database, google will send you to that document on the library network, or show you the location in the library in which to find it. This information will help me in the future.
