Before you start this discussion, go to the Library Databases in SHARC and use ProQuest to find two sources for your essay topic. When searching for a source, keep the reasons you listed in Week 1 in mind. Experiment with various key words to find an article that relates to your topic.

Writing Your Post
For your primary post, please share your search process. You can answer any of the following questions:

What search terms did you use?
Have you ever used Boolean Operators before? How did using Boolean Operators help your search?
How long did you spend searching?
How many sources did you review before you found the sources you wanted?
If you also looked at other sources outside of ProQuest, what sources did you look at? How did you determine they were reliable?
What surprised you about the research process?
What suggestions would you give a student next module who has never used ProQuest before?
