In the Bedford Researcher chapter 6: Search for Information with Print Resources, it tells you how to search for information in a library. This information will be very helpful because up until now we have basically learned how to search only online. In chapter 6a it informs that you can browse the library shelves, also knowns as stacks, to locate books you may be interested in using. Checking the works cited section of that book can lead you to other related books that can also be helpful. I never thought of doing that before! Chapter 6 also tells you how to use a periodicals room to find sources, and how to use a reference room. Even though I am familiar with libraries, I didn't know they had periodical or reference rooms.
In chapter 7 it tells you how to use information collected from field research such as interviews, observation, surveys, public events, etc. By talking to people and collecting information yourself, it bypasses the middle man (the reporters, writers) and you are able to get evidence that is not biased. I love when it says "by relying on another person's interpretation, your looking through that person's eyes rather than through your own." In this chapter it guides you in how to have an interview, which will be extremely helpful because I didn't really know where to start with that.
The websites are the same as last weeks. One is Shelly's website about the writing process, and the other is about the editing process.
