Navigating the world of academic articles

Now that my assignment 1 part 1 is done I can take a few minutes to reflect.  It was a challenge for me to find the articles.  For some reason I had a hard time logging into the UBC library site.  I went on campus to try to figure out what to do.  The librarian in the Education library was very helpful and I was well on my way.  I felt a little sheepish since it was quite easy finding the information I needed.  Now I can better understand the confusing and frustration that students experience when trying to research.  Not all sites are clearly indicated and even if they are you may not know where the information is located.  Students need to learn what to do when they hit a wall and that they shouldn't just take the easy way out....using only Wikipedia just because it's the first page listed in Google. 
This would be a good activity for the staff at my school.  I could give them a research topic and ask for specific information.  Once they understand how difficult it can be for them then maybe they will take the time to teach how to do research or support my efforts in teaching these skills.  I know after this experience I sure will! :)
