Journal 5

Library
Search Term: Censorship
Citation: Merino, Noel; Censorship; Detroit; 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Circulating or E-book?: Circulating
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C394 2010
Trustworthy?: Age-it is only two years old so the information is still revenant. The author has a Ph.D, so she also is a very credible source in herself. The publisher is also a reliable source.

Summit Catalog
Search: Censorship
Citation: Barbour, Scott; Censorship: Opposing Viewpoints: Detroit, 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C393 2010
Trustworthy?: The author has a substantial amount of sites commenting on his good work and that he is a valid source for information. Also the book is less than the five year mark so its contents should still be reliable and trustworthy.
Differ from the Cannell search?: I like that this search actually showed the cover of the books we were looking up, it makes them more real and valid than just words on a website. The Summit search was nice that it gave a list of options where your book could be found and it also let you know if it was even available currently or not.

Google Books
Search: Censorship
Citation: Jennings, Brian and Hannity, Sean; Censorship: A Threat to Silence Talk Radio; New York; 2009
Trustworthy?: The book is only a few years old, again making its contents valid still. The authors are both credible and Jennings is actually 'signed' to "Simon & Schuster" publishing and Hannity being apart of the political scene so he is constantly up-to-date with the current news.

Summary
They are all very useful! I am glad that I now have ann four of these under my belt and I am able to navigate through them with ease! They will be a tremendous help for all the papers I am sure to have come my way. They are all pretty common though, each giving the essentials of the book and its authors. They all have the links to the books they list and ensure you a way to find them either to rent or purchase. Goggle Books is a way to buy the books where the others are more to read online or to lead to you a library where you can rent them. I found the Cannell Library and Summit Catalog the best for me personally. They are both within our school and they tell you exactly where to find it in our library, which for me is probably the most convenient to use. If they changed tomorrow I would be able to find my way through them still, it just may take a few moments longer to ensure I am doing the right things. They all had a very fair amount of search items, you can break down your terms quite a bit and they all help you narrow in on what it is you are looking for exactly.

  1. Hi, Malari:

    Thanks for your report. I'm glad you found the resources easy to use and applicable for the future. These are powerful tools and using evaluation(ASAP) you can find relevant useful books just from the catalog record.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
