Week 2 Annotated Bibliography

In our day-to-day life, we constantly make decisions about the information we receive. Our brains are so good at evaluating new data, we don't consciously acknowledge it happening!  Nevertheless, the information gathered from people we talk to, stories we hear, and texts we read is being quickly filtered and processed. In the blink of an eye, we decide whether we trust the veracity of the web page our grandmother forwarded to us; whether we can rely on a news network to report the whole story; or if our son or daughter's lost homework excuse is plausible. Some sources are mostly reliable, while others require more corroborating evidence to verify. Such is the case too, when we analyze information sources while conducting research.

You may have decades of experience analyzing information informally, but in this assignment you are going to examine several sources in a much more deliberate way. This is akin to the Introductory Discussion Board's "Backwards Bicycle" video in that you may think you know whether to trust a source or not, but this exercise is going to make your brain take a different and more exhaustive path to get there. You may end up someplace entirely new!

Please avoid using Google, Yahoo, Bing, or other search engines for this assignment. Do not use .com sources or newspapers. Stretch your brain (even though it's hard to learn a new skill) and limit yourself to the ENG 310 Research Topics page  containing library databases recommended by your program of study.  Destin, the narrator in the Introductory Discussion Board video, could have gotten where he was going a lot faster if he rode a regular bike, but he practiced for 8 months to learn a new skill, going much slower in the meantime. The reward for him was successfully riding a bicycle unlike any other in the world. Yours is much greater in that you will gain valuable knowledge about databases, scholarly professional journals, and trade publications that focus on a topic you may need to research for future classes.
