Library Orientation

The 3rd class was an irregular cource and we took a library orientation.

First we used Gale Virtual Reference Library, which is a kind of an online dictionary, and it helps us not only to find the meaning of words but reserch further information related to the words.
Next, we learned how to use Lexis Nexis. This is a database of newspaper articles, and it will be convenient when I have to look for information from newspaper. I will have to write many academic essay or reports in the near future, so I want to keep it in mind and use it effectively. What I thought interesting was that I can serch for articles in English, so I can see how incidents in Japan are interpreted by journalist in other countries.
Finally, there was an explaination of ICU Discovery, zotero(a little), Grammely, and Writing Support Center. I'm not good at writing especially an esay, so I may ask all of them for help someday.

The quiz was a little challenging more than I thought.
