The databases of the Pierce College library (Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context, Academic Search Complete, CQ Researcher etc.) are the primary tools you should use to search for sources for your
research paper. However, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. do offer advanced search options. It is acceptable to find some of your sources using these advanced search options. In
particular, Boolean Operators, wildcards/truncation etc. can be used effectively to search for information. In this assignment, you need to go to each of the links listed below. You need to read
each in their entirety and take the quiz in the final link. Finally, you will submit a two page (double spaced) paper explaining everything you learned from these links as well as indicating what
score you got on the quiz. For each answer missed on this quiz, identify why your answer was incorrect. Finally, give 5 specific examples of how you will use what you learned in this assignment in
your own researching. Be specific. What are the specific search terms and websites you will use?
