Starting your Research!

You've begun your preliminary research by now, and you're probably trying to figure out where to start or where to continue at this stage. Check out these links below to help you in your preliminary research.
1. Internet Tutorials ~ This website will help you decide on the best search engines for preliminary research.
2. Social Science Research ~ Click this link to open up your research to all kinds of social science resources. For instance, at this website, you can access Portals of the World or Social Science Data Collection. You have at least 18 buttons at Social Science Research, links that will offer you multiple directions for research.
3. Google Scholar ~ I like this one because it allows for a more focused and scholarly research than just Google.
4. Google Books ~ I also like this one because you can search text only in books. You can open the books if you have a Gmail account.
5. Sloan Work & Family Research Network ~ This website is incredible! You will find much to read and follow up on by clicking on the Research button or the Workplace button.
Which of these research sites or engines was the most useful to you? Explain.

I think that my favorite was probably 'Google Scholar' because a lot of things popped up for me when I typed in Mac Beth. Don't ya love Google, though? I Google everything. I did not like the 'Sloan Work & Family Research Network' at all. It was confusing and it needed too much information to pull up a source for your topic. Boooo!!!! ~Meagan Fillman
I would have to say google scholar works the best it is jsut set up for this raeson alone.

Google Scholar worked the best for me. It was easy and it brings up what you need. I use yahoo alot, but I might have to start considering Google Scholar. I have never used it before so it was interesting.

I think Google Scholar is going to help me a lot. I have never used it before, but when I clicked on it I found three or four things I knew I could really use to get good information. tmccoy
Based on my research papers subject, I think I will find more useful information on the Social Science link. SMeeks
Based on my research topic, I found the Tutorial web sites more useful, followed by Google Books;however the Google Books will not allow you to print the material.shasta nunley
I Think Google Scholar was the most useful search engine. I typed in a research topic, and it gave me everything I need.

The most helpful to me would be, Google Scholar and The Sloan Work and family research Network.

I found Google Scholar to be the most useful engine. It allowed me to view and search through scholar reviews on my chosen "dysfunctional family" topic.
Google Scholar. It was very useful as it provided me with many articles and studies on dysfunctional families relating to my topic.
