Researching only goes so far without the correct knowledge of tools available. Joy Suh a librarian at George Mason University was one of our spokespersons, and personally one of the most important ones. Suh gave a presentation to the class on how to not only research but also do it well. She helped up understand the need to use the right online resources and where to find articles with scholarly work. There were ways on how to use sites that as a gmu student, they are free and allow us to access articles not available to the general public. She showed us government cases, how to customize maps, and use the Mason catalog. These are useful tips especially considering that as college students there are research papers that need to be done and as a student who wouldn’t want anything less than an A? Even if one is done with school, Joy Suh showed how to find research and taught us some useful keyword tips to use for searches. These tips can help anyone in their lifetime and this is why this presentation was important. Knowledge is key to life and knowing how to get sources better and faster can never do anyone wrong.
