Picking a source

Of course I wrote my first blog on the wrong thing. Oh well at least it gives me a little extra room to rant about having to do twice the amount of work because my dumb ass was rushing. So any ways when I pick a source I usually do a google search to find interesting ideas and topics to write my paper on, lets face it, if I was to do that in one of these boring library websites they wouldn't be much help. After I find an interesting topic I will then go to a scholarly web site like jstor.org, which by the way has been the best source finder all year for me and after writing five research papers last semester and three so far this semester I think it deserves some credit. A scholar web site is always the place to go because their claims and information can always be traced back to an original source by someone who actually did field work on that specific topic. If I could go about finding sources any other way it might be getting a better understanding of our libraries way of working. I hope I'm not alone either when I say this because I have been to two of the classes where the librarian comes in and teaches the class how to use the wsu library web site and I still get lost. They either need to make it a required class for freshman or make it much more user friendly because I feel everytime I log onto that website to find a source, WSU needs to be paying me for my amount of hours spent there trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
