[nabs] Best ways to conduct library research?

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
You might want to try searching Google for restearch papers you 
need (if you know the title, author and pubpication information).
In my case, being an engineering student, I just use Google to 
find articles and websites that I need, or use Bookshare to find 
books that I need (to read on my BrailleNote).  For instance, if 
I type "explain vectors in C plus plus," I get hundreds of 
websites explaining what a vector (a vector is a variable which 
can be used to store more than one data) is and how to use it.  
Or if I have to write something about math, I just use Google to 
find things (which turns out to be very beneficial).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

>Hi Everyone,
>I am in the midst of writing a paper, and am using my school's 
data bases.  I am finding that it's hit or miss with the data 
bases (somee have full text, some don't, some full text appears 
as PDF images which won't be read by my screen reader, and some 
articles I want, have no full text at all).  How do people go 
about doing research? What are the most time effective methods 
for all involved?
>Would love any suggestions.
