During the google exercise we did in class I knew about the google scholar website I used it the week before in my English class so that wasn't new to me. But when searching in google I didn't know that if you add a plus sign it is like using AND OR in the other databases. This google exercise and learning new ways to search for information will help me with my research for the rest of the semester because I now know more ways to search for more on Homeless people. My opinion on google is still the same I used to use it all the time to start off with research projects and now that google scholar has recently been introduces I will use it more often. This will also help me in other class I am taking now and in the future. Knowing all the resources that there are online to find articles, newspapers, scholarly articles, etc. will help so you have many options to chose from not just the same ones I have been using for most of my life.

Hi Olivia,
It is true...when you know your Google tricks, you can search for just about any type of resource using Google. At the same time, it is necessary to refer to the evaluation criteria for any resources that you might find through Google or elsewhere.
Please keep me posted if you need any assistance with your research!
