Post #4

Post #4

Dates: 6/18/15 – 6/22/15

Activities: link/pdf search

Technical Information: used google to find pdfs to a long list of links

Reflection: I was given a long list of cited articles (6 pages worth) on the different stress hormones (cortisol, dhea, and alpha amylase) to find the original PDF articles. I tried using the Longwood library search but nothing came up. I ended up copying and pasting the citied article into the Google search bar to try and find a PDF file. I scheduled an appointment with one of the Longwood librarians to help me learn how to use the library search. After entering multiple articles and not finding anything, the librarian suggesting I use Google Scholar which helped a lot.


The internship is meeting my expectations. I thought I'd be doing a lot of technological stuff and also some research. I have a little control over what I’m doing in the sense of what I need for the website and how much time I'll need on the PDF search.
