Week 4

This week I learned how to skim pages, looking for important information and how to determine if information is valuable to me. I usually never read the title pages or the table of contents. But this week I learned that they can give insight to why the book was written or what the intentions are. I've used the Discovery tool many times before. The most useful tool for me is selecting the year of publications. When researching Head Start and preschool, it is beneficial that I have current up to date data to refer to. This is especially important when I am researching program outcomes. The most frustrating thing for me was getting to the login page! I'm not sure what I did to get to the login page today, but it took awhile. One page kept asking me to enter my library barcode. Once I clicked on the Discovery tool it took me to my normal login page. Anyways, as I continue my research, I hope to learn the outcomes of children who have previously been enrolled in Head Start compared to children who were in private preschool.
