Assignment 13: State of Project Presentation

Dear Readers,
I chose to use the interdisciplinary database,  Proquest. I found the database slightly harder to navigate  due to the fact that it is found multiple ways. There are also multiple variations of the database itself so locating the 'Research Library" was a slight hassle. One of the simple key words I used for my search was "Twin Paradox". Surprisingly I had found a better article that fit with my project. Another cool feature I had discovered with Proquest, is that you can directly e-mail the article and it's citation form to yourself. One other article source I had found included visual diagrams. I really enjoyed finding it because it used a "statistical" visual diagram I was needing for my project. Other than that, not too much has changed. The other sources I have are book sources, so I will use one of the scholarly sources I just found via Proquest as an online article source. 

Social Media

Dear Reader,

     

     I decided to use the three social medias: Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. 

I am not a huge social media user, but I do have a Facebook and Twitter account. I use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family (I'm old school and I use email more) and Twitter for quick current things such as science topics or news. I tried to use all three for quick information on my research topic. To be honest, all three were not helpful. They did give me quick "interesting" topics similar to my search specifications, but not anything to actually use. Reddit was probably the lease helpful because it was more "blog/ I.M." on a particular subject than it was legit information. And interestingly enough, with Facebook, I was brought to a search engine rather than specific pages from the site. So in a way, It was like using Google rather than a web source. So all in all, These sites were not useful for my project parse, but if I needed a quick overview or some brainstorming ideas i could see them being beneficial. Until I can find something more agreeable with what I'm needing, I'll use these social media sources for less academic and more "entertainment".
