Exercise 2.2: Academic Research on the Internet

In this exercise, I was instructed to follow 4 steps that would lead me to make a bibliography for my research paper and a few sources to start with.

1.) Keywords: Foster Care, Current Issues, Governmental problems, Aging out of the Program


2.) The next step to finding good academic sources in the internet was to use search engines that were listed in the book on page 83 (The Curious Researcher) and entering key words into the search engine in order to fins specific and general sources to help me with my research.  Here are the websites/sources that I came up with using Dogpile search engine after using the keywords "Issues in Foster Care:"
http://www.childrensrights.org/issues-resources/foster-care/facts-about-foster-care/ 
(Children's Rights)
https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/siblingissues/index.cfm
(Child Welfare)


Here are the websites/sources that I came up with using "Current Problems in the Foster Care Program" as my keywords using the search.com web search.

3.) I added my findings to a citation bibliography in noodle tools where I was able to compile my sources and properly cite them.


4.) I then was instructed to print copies of other sources that I found interesting in order to do note taking. I was able to do this on other sources that I found through EBSCO Host and search engines that were on the LBC library website.


This exercise was intended to get me started on my citations and source accumulation.
