Internet Research Project

The internet tool I was assigned is inSuggest. This tool is very helpful in finding different web sites pertaining to a certain subject or topic. After finding just one site I liked it linked me to many other relevant sites that I found very useful. It can also add images and organize bookmarks on various sites. One great strength is the available sites that instantly come up without me having to search for them blindly. The weakness I found is the difficulty in using the bookmarking tool. It would not let me log on. The other weakness I found was that I can not save all the pages together. Each time I want to use inSuggest I will have to go through all the steps.

RJA #7c: Field Research Plan

I plan on interviewing my Dynamics of Health Instructor, Connie Sanchez. She is a naturopathy doctor who has been studying nutrition for about thirty years. She has agreed to meet me as soon as I am ready. A few questions that I am considering are:
1. Do you have any personal experience from your practice or clients with dairy consumption and the affects it has on a persons health?
2. What are your creditentials?
3. What are your personal views on the nutritional aspects of dairy?
4. Who in your opinion is the biggest advocate of dairy?
5. What detriments if any do you see with consuming dairy?
6. In your schooling or research areas have you ever encountered this subject?
7. Do you know of any diseases that are linked to the consumption of dairy?
8. What is your personal opinion of dairy consumption?

RJA #7a: Internet Research Tools

Before Oct. 1st the only search engine I ever used was google. After spending the better part of the afternoon reading through and exploring all the different search engines, speciality engines, meta engines, invisible web searches and directories available I will probably now use mamma, dogpile, search.com and metacrawler much more.
I never really needed or knew about the resources that were available on line before this class. I like how the meta searches combine a couple engines together to cut down on the steps I have to do to look information up.
The one thing I found that fouls me up is I keep digging deeper into links and when I want to go back to my original point I have no idea how to get there or where I even was. Windows close before I realize that I have clicked out of it and moved on.
