On February 26, Joy Suh, librarian at GMU, spoke with our class about how to conduct research for our projects.

Suh’s goals during her 45 minute presentation was to help us find articles and online resources. Fairfax County Public Library Catalog was recommended by Suh to go first for ideas and information. Suh also showed us how to use the Mason catalog, which was not new information to me.

Suh wanted us to use “our topic and Fairfax County” (Hidden Fairfax) during our keyword search.

Lexis Nexux Adacemixc and Onlinenewspapers.com are websites she went onto to search for topics we are researching in class (transportation and hidden Fairfax for example).

Something new that I did learn was that the library has tools for students to customize map

GMU library also has coding and intermediate online research classes.
