So, today was pretty hum drum in the sense that I had class from 8 am -12;15, thank goodness I have fun people to keep it interesting. I was really annoyed though because we couldn't execute a proper search online in the database we were attempting to use, and I always feel stupid when I miss something that should be so easy, like, say, finding out how to use a limiter, such as, oh I don't know....language! At least when I give up finding things on my own, I know to ask for help. I think that's a really valuable tool, perhaps even more valuable than being able to locate an answer for yourself, is knowing when to give up and just ask somebody who might have a bit more knowledge about the subject or search strategy than you do. That's why I dig library science school so far, the collaborative efforts help me quite a bit. I've been so used to doing the "art history/english" undergrad thing, primarily reading, absorbing and sheer memorization, and then writing 12 -25 page papers on my own research, that I've forgotten how nice it is to work in pairs on homework assignments. Divide and Conquer. Has a nice ring to it. :)
