Spring Break is coming up soon! I can’t wait to be home with my family. A lot of people are going with Florida either through ASBO or traveling alone. I wanted to go along with them, but I didn’t want to miss my opportunities to spend time with my family, so I decided not to go with them.

This week in class, we had a Library workshop. A librarian came to our classroom and taught us how to utilize the many databases that Stony Brook has to offer. He taught us how to narrow searches so we could find what we really need. Some of the options were “Full Text” and “Peer Reviewed.” This makes doing research a lot easier, since the database search engine narrows everything down for us. The librarian recommended EBSCOhost as a database for most searches. I used this website before in my WRT 102 class and I thought it was very useful when I was writing my research argument paper.
