After all the lessons I had, I still prefer Google.com as my research tool (Is it a good or bad thing? =P) Google as search enignes enable to find relevant information I wants most of time. A few days before I tried to use Google search using my EIR research topic: the role of design in global g0-green movements.
(role) AND (design) AND (global OR wordwide) AND ( g0-green OR eco-friendly) AND (movements)
and the first website in the results list is
my OWN EIR BLOG. =0
haha?
It doesn't mean that Google is not effective, as my blog, indeed, is about this topic: the role of design in global g0-green movements.
But I need to scroll down to find other sources which are useful to me.
Most of people, (and I am one of them) think this CDS is quite useless and easy to manage. However, as more lessons I had and practical worksheets I did, I starting to like this CDS as I know more about internet. Internet research is not just only about Google or Yahoo. I have learned what is meta-search engine, subject directory, invisible websites, and Google is just one of search enigne we commonly used. I've leaned that there are still so much more in internet I don't know...I realised there are so much more to explore after this CDS class. or maybe, my EIR class just started. =)
