Describe your experiences using resources, including concerns encountered when conducting academic research through the University of Arizona Global Campus Library. Areas of concern may include developing a research strategy, using the search function within a database, or evaluating sources.
From my personal experience, I think the University of Arizona Global Campus Library is an amazing place to be able to locate references. When I first began my educational journey with the University, I must admit it was very overwhelming to use. As I have progressed through my educational journey with the school, I have realized that it is very easy and helpful to use the library. I had to reach out to a classmate earlier on who helped me navigate the library and calm my anxiety about using it. The easiest was for me, is to use the “Databases A-Z” and then select “ProQuest”. Using these methods fields many sources to select from. As it pertains to concerns, I can honestly say that I have none whatsoever.
Explain how using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library has improved your experience in conducting research. For example, you could identify and explain how specific tutorials that you have used have helped improve your ability to conduct research.
Using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library has improved my research experience tremendously. I have been equipped with all the resources and tools need to write any assignment that is and has been asked of me to complete. I don’t need to go on my favorite search engine, Google, in order to find something because they are within the school virtual library. The library cites the sources for me, which makes it easier for me when I am creating a reference page. The only negative thing I can state is that some sources within the library may be lacking dates and/or authors. At the end of the day the library is still an amazing research source to help soothe the nerves when it comes to writing assignments.
