What I learned
During class on Monday I learned a couple of things. The overall point of the class was to learn how to research efficiently. I can do this using several different resources that BYU offers. By going to the BYU's library homepage, lib.byu.edu, I can access these different resources. I can find books on my topic by clicking on the books and more tab and then search my topic. A advanced search is also available to narrow down the selection sources. If i click on the subject guides tab, then click on course guides i can scroll down and click on the writing 150 class link. This opens up a webpage that allows me to access a variety of useful sites. The first one is Opposing viewpoints in context (Gale), while the second one is the Gale Virtual Reference Library. I can find more articles also by using the Academic Search Premier (EBSCO). By using these tools I can find articles, books, journals, and more that will help me write my issue paper. I already have found two articles that I am going to use! yay!

Yay for the library website!! I knew we had all those things (not the specific online databases) but I didn't actually know where to find them.
