Activity 4 - Blog Reflections

Google is a very useful search engine and that i often use it to search for my information and do research. Google is a well known search engine. Even though Google gives a wide and mass results to the search, most of the information are not relevant and are not important. This wastes users time to search slowly one by one at the results to gather the information that they want.

Google Scholar was another search engine that I had found out, it allows the user to search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.

Participating in discussion forums is very useful to the research that we want to get ,as the results there are just comments from other people.

Citation and bibliography are used to credit our source(s), which is very important as we should always give credit to where the information comes from and from which author.
