My group members and I decided to make our project about the
health viruses that are occurring in the word, especially in the United States.
I went to the librarian at the front desk for help with some possible options
on books for our topic. I started off with a lot of options. There were so many
good sources but I narrowed it down to the top four based on the title and the
subjects of the books. I looked at all four of them. Two of the books were on
Galileo so I looked those up as well. I did an overview of the two books that
were in the library and on Galileo. I narrowed my search to the two sources
online, mainly because they were more recent than the books on the shelves. The
two electronic books were Viruses and
Human Disease by James H. Strauss and Ellen G. Strauss and Human Viruses in Water by Albert Bosch. After
I chose these two options I read them completely and it was very hard to choose
just one that would be best for our topic because they both had recent and up
to date information that will be used. They both dealt specifically with human
viruses, but still had information that showed where viruses can be, like in
the water. People need to be aware of things like this and both of these
sources gave me great insight on it. I think both of the books are beneficial to
our research in different ways, but still coincides with one another.
You read all of both books? Are you crazy?
ReplyDeleteHaving a good research question helps save you a lot of work, because you probably will only use one chapter (or part of a chapter) from any given book to answer your specific question. Make sure you work on defining a good, clear research question!
