Blog post

I have not really tired searching in GALILEO, so I decided to start with that one. I could not really find much on my topic specifically  but I did find some good articles that will help with my topic. Instead of searching for my topic question, "How has the rescission affected careers in Sociology", I just searched sociology careers. I found several different articles. One that stood out to me that I will probably read and use for my paper, is an article called, Dichotomy, Dialectic and Dialogic: How Do Sociology Terms Assist Career Development Theory? I believe it will help me look from a different point of view. 

As for the Boolean Operators, I tired a number of different words. Social work with sociology  jobs with careers, and depression with rescission. 

I could not really find much for an organization. I did find a website that is a career service site that helps people with narrowing down their career opportunities. It breaks down exactly the job description. 

Social Media Research

The first social media site I tried was Stumbleupon.com. I have been on this site before, but just for entertainment purposes. I have never really used a social media site for research or school at all for that matter. I did not really find anything specifically for my research topic question. I did find a lot of different news stories and articles related to sociology. I love looking around stumbleupon.com because you can pretty much personalize what you want to look for/at. I think it could be a great way to do research. I also enjoyed searching around Reddit.com. I found a lot of different questions and discussions on my topic. Granted, they are not from creditable authors and such, but I kind of help guide me in some direction for more in dept research. Social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook didn't really help me. I feel as if those are more of a just connecting with friends and family sites and not discussion or information sites. I use both Facebook and Twitter but just for personal reasons like keeping up with friends and stuff. I also use Tumblr, but that is also just for entertainment purposes. I don't use it for research nor do I think it would be a good social media site for research.
