Not quite there yet...

I'm really getting a feel for the tools we've been using the last few weeks. I can certainly see why they're used so frequently to capture information. Ref Works and World Cat seem simple enough. Now, if only I could figure out how to create a spreadsheet. Whenever I hear spreadsheet, I think of Excel; I usually shudder when I hear that word. Here it goes.....

How do they do it?

Nothing to do with 2600, but we were invited to share our frustrations, so here it goes. I've heard horror stories about 2002, but I never really believed them...until now! I have a new found respect for Reference Librarians. How do they do it?! All the information to be retrieved? All the silly questions to be answered? If this is the life of a Reference Librarian, count me out!

Getting Ahead of Myself

I just realized that the Zotero assignment isn't due for another few weeks. Its a good think I just took a look! I have four classes this semester, so I told myself its alright to have a mix up every once in awhile. Getting ready to move forward with the readings in both books; everything I got out of the first set has seemed to help me through these first few weeks. Hopefully, they, along with the other materials will continue to do so. Let's see if I can get this assigmnet right this time....

Zotero

Zotero is a completely foreign concept to me, so the completion of Assignment 3 will be interesting. I'm starting tomorrow; hopefully, I don't get too frustrated with my lack of technological tools.....

Done!

So, I just finished Assignment 2 last night. So much stressing; all for nothing. I thought that RSS feeds were my worst enemy, but they're not so bad after all. Onto Assignment 3......

Assignment 2

I've decided that I love Ref Works. I wish I had known about it throughout college; it would've made life so much easier. I haven't attempted to complete the RSS feed portion of the assignment yet. I'm completely unfamiliar with this concept, so hopefully, all goes well. So far, so good...except I just realized I got my 50 additional sources from Google and not Google Scholar. Better get started on fixing that.....ugh!

HI!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking forward to working with all of you throughout the semester. I've never created a blog before, so you'll have to bear with me for the time being. Hopefully, all the tools we seem to be working with turn out to be less intimidating than they seem! Talk to everyone soon! :)
